DCX Liquid Cooling Systems has launched a new cooling distribution unit (CDU).

The company this week announced the new, second-generation facility distribution unit (FDU V2AT2). The new CDU delivers up to 8.15MW of heat transfer capacity.

Designed to support AI hardware, the company said the new CDU supports 45°C (113°F) warm-water cooling for Nvidia’s NVL72 GB200 / GB300 Blackwell and Vera Rubin architectures, which can remove the need for chillers on the heat-rejection side in many deployments.

“As the data center industry transitions to AI factories, operators need cooling system that won’t be obsolete in one platform cycle,” said Maciek Szadkowski, CTO at DCX Liquid Cooling Systems. “The FDU V2AT2 replaces multiple legacy 1.3MW CDUs and enables 45°C supply water operation. This new category of CDUs has minimum thermal loss with AT2 approach temperature, and provides multi-megawatt cooling at the hall level. That opens a clear path to Nvidia Vera Rubin architecture and beyond while simplifying cooling loop topology and significantly reducing both capex and opex of data center liquid cooling system.”

DCX said the new CDU is available immediately.

Poland-based DCX is a manufacturer of liquid cooling solutions for both direct liquid cooling and immersion cooling systems. The company provides in-rack, in-row, and hall-wide CDUs, cold plates, immersion cooling enclosures, dry coolers, modular containerized data centers, and enclosures for cryptomining.

Earlier this month, the company said it had installed its first generation 5MW facility CDUs (FDUs) that can support the entire data hall in data centers across the US and France. The 5MW model can support up to 60 AI racks at 80kW each.
