Dormunt, Germany, March 30, 2026
-
DCX Liquid Cooling Systems have officially signed a cooperation agreement with Wilo Group at Wilopark in Dortmund.
-
Through this agreement, DCX and Wilo will continue close technological collaboration, advancing innovative liquid cooling systems.
-
Wilo’s pumps and VFDs are widely used in DCX Facility Coolant Distribution Units.
As demand for computing power continues to accelerate, the requirements placed on data center infrastructure are rising just as rapidly. The growth of AI-driven applications, high-performance computing, and increasingly dense server environments is reshaping the industry and making efficient, reliable liquid cooling a critical factor in ensuring performance, scalability, and operational resilience.
Against this backdrop, Wilo and DCX LIQUID COOLING SYSTEMS, a global manufacturer of advanced liquid cooling solutions for data centers, have signed a cooperation agreement at the Wilopark in Dortmund. This cooperation marks an important step toward delivering next-generation liquid cooling technologies designed to meet the evolving needs of modern data centers.
At the center of the collaboration is a shared commitment to enabling high-performance cooling solutions for AI-intensive and high-density IT environments. The cooperation will focus in particular on Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) and Facility Coolant Distribution Units (FDUs), which play a crucial role in removing heat efficiently from graphics processing units (GPUs) and other high-performance computing components. These systems are essential for ensuring the safe, stable, and reliable operation of increasingly powerful IT infrastructures.
Strive to deliver the best-in-class liquid cooling solutions
The focus is on Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) and Facility Coolant Distribution Units (FDUs) for AI‑intensive and high‑density IT environments, enabling effective heat removal from graphics processing units (GPUs) and ensuring safe and reliable operation of high‑performance IT infrastructures.
Maciek Szadkowski, CTO at DCX, emphasizes: “It was our ambition to design and deliver the most capable CDUs in the world. Wilo’s pump technology enabled us to provide 8 MW of cooling capacity per single CDU. Thanks to our joint efforts and deep understanding of the technology trajectory, DCX and Wilo are ready for both the contemporary and future rack densities in this new, exciting era of AI.”
Peter Glauner, CEO Region Europe at Wilo, adds: “Our pumps are already in use worldwide in modern cooling systems for data centers. The cooperation with DCX underscores our ambition to actively shape resilient data centers in the AI era.”
