Johnson Controls has expanded its data centre thermal management range with the launch of its Silent-Aire Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) platform.
Designed to enable data centres to transition to liquid cooling as rack densities rise, the Silent-Aire CDUs offer a wide range of scalable cooling capacities from 500kW to over 10MW in flexible and bespoke designs.
“The launch of this expanded series of CDU technology marks a pivotal step in our commitment to advance data centre cooling, from chip to chiller,” said Austin Domenici, Vice President and General Manager, Data Centre Solutions at Johnson Controls. “By collaborating with leading ecosystem players in the hyperscale, colocation and semiconductor industry, we’ve engineered an innovative and scalable platform that meets the demands of next-generation AI training and inference hardware, delivering consistent performance and reinforcing our role as a strategic partner to data centre professionals scaling for the digital economy.”
With the rapid growth of AI and increasing demand for computing power, denser chips are generating more heat, making cooling innovation a critical priority. Silent-Aire CDUs allow for precision cooling of this equipment, enabling data centre owners and operators to deploy the latest in semiconductor technology. Positioned either within the rack row adjacent to heat-generating equipment or in the whitespace perimeter, Silent-Aire CDUs are designed for flexibility to support a wide range of liquid-cooling configurations and hybrid designs to deliver precise, efficient cooling of high-performance environments ranging from edge-based inference to large AI factories.
This launch is built on Johnson Controls’ broad portfolio of existing Silent-Aire, York and M&M Carnot thermal management products that serve data centres worldwide.
