Liquid cooling firm LiquidStack has launched a new Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) for liquid-cooled data center environments.

The company this week unveiled the GigaModular CDU. Described as the industry’s first modular, scalable CDU, the system offers up to 10MW cooling capacity.

The system supports single-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling heat loads from 2.5MW to 10MW.

"AI will keep pushing thermal output to new extremes, and data centers need cooling systems that can be easily deployed, managed, and scaled to match heat rejection demands as they rise,” said Joe Capes, CEO of LiquidStack. “With up to 10MW of cooling capacity at N, N+1, or N+2, the GigaModular is a platform like no other—we designed it to be the only CDU our customers will ever need. It future-proofs design selections for direct-to-chip liquid cooling without traditional limits or boundaries."

The CDU is serviceable from the front of the unit, with no rear or end access required, allowing the system to be placed against the wall. The skid-mounted system can come with rail and overhead piping pre-installed or shipped as separate cabinets for on-site assembly.

LiquidStack said quoting for the new CDU will begin by September 2025, with production in LiquidStack’s manufacturing facilities in Carrollton, Texas.

Founded as Allied Control in 2013, LiquidStack offers both single and two-phase liquid cooling solutions. It also offers prefabricated modular cooling solutions for Edge applications.

The company launched a 1MW CDU for direct-to-chip liquid cooling last year.
