175 kW L2A Sidecar CDU
CDU4175 L2A 175kW
The 175 kW / 52U L2A Sidecar CDU is a liquid-to-air (L2A) cooling solution capable of meeting the cooling requirements of the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform.
It delivers up to 175 kW of cooling capacity at ATD = 10, making it ideal for high-density AI and HPC applications.
Its unique L2A architecture provides high cooling capacity without requiring changes to existing data centre infrastructure. This enables hybrid liquid cooling deployment in conventional air-cooled data centres.
With infrastructure-free installation and rapid deployment, it provides an efficient solution for data centres transitioning from air cooling to liquid cooling.
Features
| Key Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Ultra-High Deployment Density | • Optimised for the ideal balance between compact dimensions and cooling performance. • Delivers up to 175 kW of cooling capacity at ATD = 10, or 125 kW at ATD = 5, within a width of only 900 mm. |
| Intelligent Monitoring | • The CDU comes as standard with an intelligent control system. • It supports local and remote system parameter configuration, operating status monitoring, runtime recording, and alarm information enquiry. System parameters and fault data are automatically stored and retained after power loss. |
| Hot-Swappable Design | • The pumps and filters feature a hot-swappable design. • Tool-free maintenance can be performed on site without system shutdown. |
| Pump Redundancy | • Each CDU is equipped with two pumps, supporting cyclical operation and automatic switchover in the event of failure. |
| Intelligent Control | • Supports both Constant Flow and Constant Pressure operating modes. • Allows flexible system configuration to meet different deployment requirements. |
| Modular Design | • Supports both standalone and parallel operation. • A single CDU supports a fully loaded NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 system. • Two CDUs operating in parallel can support the cooling requirements of NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, including the next-generation Ultra version. |
