Mitsubishi has launched a cooling distribution unit (CDU) for liquid cooling systems.

Mitsubishi Electric this week announced the launch of ME-CDU, offering from 750kW to 1.2MW.

Joining the company’s portfolio of chillers, heat pumps, fan walls, CRACs, and CRAHs, Mitsubishi said the new CDU is available in a single module to integrate with hybrid cooling applications and heat reuse or rejection systems. The company said the CDU offers opportunities for heat reclaim and reuse.

“The move from air-cooled systems to predominantly liquid-cooled solutions allows for greater heat capture and re-use, and this is where many data center operators are realizing that there is the potential for a new revenue stream from feeding into local heat networks around the data center,” said Shahid Rahman, EMEA data center strategic account lead for Mitsubishi Electric.

“We are seeing a rapid acceleration in the AI landscape and the amount of heat generated from data centers is going to grow exponentially, so we need to make it easier to reuse that otherwise wasted heat.”

The system features a dual hydraulic circuit separated by a plate heat exchanger.

The primary circuit incorporates a two‑way valve and 500‑micron filtration, while the secondary circuit includes N+1 redundant pumps, 25‑micron fine filtration, redundant temperature and pressure sensors, and an automatic refill tank to maintain stable pressure even in the presence of micro‑leaks.
