Using Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure software, Motivair's CDUs operate as a centralized system, meeting current cooling requirements with the ability to scale up to more than 10 MW for next-generation HPC, AI, and accelerated computing workloads.
The MCDU-70 is well-suited to the needs of large-scale installations, such as the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, where deployments target 10 MW to reach gigawatt scale. With 2.5 MW each, six MCDU-70s can provide 4+2 redundancy, and the unit's capacity is ready to support NVIDIA's future GPU roadmap. Furthermore, the GPUs powering AI factories generate 20 to 50 times more heat than traditional CPUs, making liquid cooling essential in the AI era.
“AI doesn’t stand still. Our solutions are designed to keep pace with the evolution of chips and silicon, delivering next-generation performance when it matters most,” said Rich Whitmore, CEO of Motivair at Schneider Electric. “The success of data centers now depends on delivering scalable, reliable, and efficient infrastructure solutions that can support the next generation of AI factory deployments. We’re ready for that moment with proven liquid cooling solutions that scale with our customers’ needs.”
Key Capabilities and Performance of the MCDU-70:
With the addition of the MCDU-70, Schneider Electric's liquid cooling portfolio now offers CDUs from 105 kW to 2.5 MW, meeting current and future performance requirements. Each CDU is scalable and integrates seamlessly with other units and Schneider Electric software to deliver precise and reliable cooling capacity for data center operators.
Available globally through Schneider Electric's advanced manufacturing hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia, the MCDU-70 offers scalable 2.5 MW cooling in a compact form factor, providing higher available pressure without compromising full flow. The MCDU-70 is fully equipped to meet current and future GPU cooling needs.
Key Features:
Capacity and Efficiency: With dual heat exchangers, the MCDU-70 ensures adequate parallel filtration with minimal pressure drop and maintains the industry target of 1.5 LPM per kW, protecting the efficiency of the rack-to-plant system.
Performance and Reliability: Every CDU model undergoes rigorous testing under real-world conditions, including digital twin simulations and end-line testing with pumps at full load. Schneider Electric's global network of experts supports customers from design to maintenance, keeping systems smarter, longer-lasting, and cooler.
Designed to Scalable: The MCDU-70 is part of a comprehensive range of CDUs with a scalable, modular design, giving operators greater flexibility to choose the right model for their AI deployment goals.
Motivair's complete line of CDUs (models MCDU-25 to MCDU-70) supports advanced thermal management strategies with precise flow control, real-time monitoring, and adaptive load balancing, optimizing plant performance and reducing energy consumption. The MCDU-70 is now available for worldwide ordering.
