Vette Corp (Vette), a leading global provider of thermal management solutions, introduced a series of LiquiCool Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) for its family of data center cooling solutions. The CDU supports a number of critical functions for liquid cooled rack-mounted equipment.

In a liquid-cooled system, the building chilled-water supply should not be a direct source of cooling for the IT racks. Instead, a CDU should be deployed to create an isolated secondary cooling loop that is separated from the building primary chilled water supply. The secondary cooling loop is easily controlled to stay above the room dew-point, preventing condensation.

The CDU secondary cooling loop also contains just a few gallons of water, thereby reducing exposure within the whitespace by an order of magnitude over conventional liquid cooling solutions, reveals the company’s press release.
