CDUs control flow, pressure, temperature, water quality, and heat exchange between facility and technology cooling loops.
Role in the thermal chain
A coolant distribution unit is the hydraulic and controls boundary between high-value IT equipment and a facility cooling system. Units range from in-rack systems serving one rack to multi-megawatt plant modules serving many rows.
