Schneider Electric unveils full liquid cooling portfolio

Schneider Electric has provided its first look at its complete liquid cooling portfolio following its acquisition and integration of Motivair earlier this year.

The recently unveiled portfolio of end-to-end cooling solutions include lines of coolant distribution units, rear door heat exchangers, liquid-to-air heat dissipation units, dynamic cold plates and more solutions aimed at hyperscale, colocation and high-density data centre environments.

Tailored for the AI era, the solutions will be offered under the Motivair by Schneider Electric brand. The complete portfolio also includes air-cooled technologies, as well as software and services.

The portfolio will be scalable from 100 kW racks up to future power densities of 1 MW and above to help meet evolving demands of high-performance data centres.

Motivair by Schneider Electric CEO Richard Whitmore said cooling can consume up to 40% of a data centre’s power budget, and direct liquid cooling promises to be up to 3000 times more effective and more efficient at removing heat than air.

“As data centre cooling has grown more complex in the AI era, our portfolio has consistently evolved to remain capable of serving the infrastructure demands of today and tomorrow,” he said. “Today we are the only liquid cooling provider to demonstrate proven expertise at the silicon level by co-developing our solutions in collaboration with NVIDIA, and other leading GPU manufacturers.

“In collaboration with Schneider Electric, we have created an unmatched portfolio that not only compresses time-to-market but increases ROI for customers worldwide.”
