Schneider Electric has launched a new coolant distribution unit (CDU) for liquid-cooled data centers.

Motivair by Schneider Electric, this week, introduced a new 2.5MW CDU designed to cool high-density data centers.

The MCDU-70 is the highest-capacity CDU available from Motivair. The company said the CDU can support the cooling needs of GPUs and gigawatt-scale AI Factories.

“AI isn’t slowing down. Our solutions are designed to keep pace with chip and silicon evolution—delivering next-gen performance when it matters most,” said Rich Whitmore, CEO of Motivair by Schneider Electric. “Data center success now hinges on delivering scalable, reliable, efficient infrastructure solutions that match the next generation of AI Factory deployments. We’re meeting that moment with proven liquid cooling solutions that scale with our customers’ needs.”

With the addition of the MCDU-70, Schneider Electric’s end-to-end liquid cooling portfolio now offers CDUs ranging from 105kW to 2.5MW.

Motivair is based in Buffalo, New York, and produces units that pump coolant at high pressure close to the chips to cool the servers efficiently. Its products include cold plates, chillers, in-rack manifolds, hoses and cooling loops, and heat exchangers and dissipation units

Motivair launched two other CDUs – the MCDU-45 and MCDU-55 – in December. They were the first new products Motivair launched since the firm was acquired by Schneider in February 2025. First announced in October 2024, Schneider acquired 75 percent of the firm for a reported $850 million, with the option to buy the remainder by 2028.
