DCX FDU V2 ΔT2 8 MW

Facility Coolant Distribution Unit

The Facility Distribution Unit (FDU) defines new category of high-capacity Coolant Distribution Units, engineered not for individual rack rows but for a complete data halls / facility installations in hyperscale data centers, efficiently cooling large-scale, high-density AI server racks. FDU offers a heat transfer capacity of up to 8,15MW at an approach temperature of 2°C with a flow rate of 550 m3/h (primary side, facility water). Advanced features include highly available N+1 redundant pump system of 4 pumps, condensation-free control, automatic coolant leveling, leak detection, and remote monitoring of essential parameters. Designed for high-performance computing (HPC) and GPU-intensive clusters, the FDU utilizes ASHRAE W3/ W4 warm water to meet the stringent cooling needs of hyperscale environments.

Capacity

Up to 80 AI racks (42U config) per one FDU!

Performance

An elite performance of 8MW heat transfer capacity.

Sustainability

Enables heat reuse with up to 60°C return temperature!

Power density

8MW of heat transfer in just 4.5 m² (48 sq. ft.) form factor.

Overview

DCX HYDRO FDU – FACILITY DISTRIBUTION UNIT 8MW CDU for hyperscale class deployments. New unique facillity sized CDU designed to cool a group of high-density server racks. Cost-effective but enterprise-class CDU, delivers over 5MW heat transfer capacity at 2°C approach temperature. FDU features all advanced capabilities: N+1 redundant pump design, dynamic condensation-free control, automatic coolant leveling, automatic leak detection and complete remote control of all important parameters. A perfect solution that provides responsive, high-capacity cooling for HPC or GPU server nodes, and it only requires ASHRAE W3/W4 warm water to solve all cooling challenges of power–dense racks. The compact dimensions of FDU (L 4.8m/15.8ft | W 1.8m/5.9ft | H 2.4m/7.9ft) allow for quick retrofitting of existing data halls. FDU will fit any environment withoverhead or technical floor pipe routing. The system can be integrated with all standard server racks providing energy-efficient cooling & intelligent controls.
