Connect | Virginia // DCD>Tech Showcase: Measuring CDU performance in a metric-free zone | Stulz

Single-phase, liquid-to-liquid Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) are increasingly critical to modern liquid cooling deployments, yet with no recognized industry standard for testing or rating energy efficiency, and no agreed-upon metric to guide procurement, making informed decisions is a challenge. As liquid cooling adoption accelerates, the lack of clarity around CDU performance is a key threat to decision makers.

In this session, take a deep-dive into the current landscape of CDU efficiency standards and the gaps left by ASHRAE, AHRI, and ANSI. Gain a practical framework for evaluating CDU energy performance using existing related test standards and proposed ASHRAE rating conditions. Unlock an approach that enables fair comparisons across manufacturers and supports more informed infrastructure decisions.
