CDU 2 InRack Cooling Distribution Unit
InRack 4U CDU, with 170 and even 200 kW heat transfer capacity at average 10°C – 15°C approach temperature and 300kW at approach temp claimed by competitive systems. Over 2 x more efficient than comparable in rack 4U CDU’s, will effectively cool more racks than any other 4U CDU. This rack based unit is equipped with 2 redundant multistage immersion pumps and can effectively cool multiple racks or high-powered HPC systems with 2 x higher pressure and flow rate than any other solution.
The system has a clamp connection for easy and quick installation. With the double pump redundancy design, replacement and maintenance are simple, ensuring great dependability. Maintenance can be performed without a shutdown in the case of a pump or power outage, or if the filter gets clogged. Furthermore, the system has a complete real-time monitoring feature for operating parameters. Its top computer connection interface includes two redundant RS485 ports and two redundant RJ45 ports, which use the default communication protocols Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP.
