Mitsubishi Electric launches CDU
4th March 2026
UK: Mitsubishi Electric has launched the ME-CDU coolant distribution unit at this week’s Data Centre World in London.
Available in a single compact module, it is designed to provide seamless integration with hybrid cooling applications and heat reuse or rejection systems.
The ME-CDU comes in capacities from 750kW to 1.2MW and is designed specifically with the latest high density, high temperature servers in mind. The unit operates nominally with a technology cooling system at 34ºC/24ºC and a facility water system at 20ºC/30ºC.
It features a dual hydraulic circuit separated by a plate heat exchanger. The primary circuit incorporates a two‑way valve and 500‑micron filtration, while the secondary circuit includes N+1 redundant pumps, 25‑micron fine filtration, redundant temperature and pressure sensors, and an automatic refill tank to maintain stable pressure even in the presence of micro‑leaks.
The unit’s hydraulic structure is built using 304/316 stainless‑steel piping and connections, ensuring fluid purity, resistance to contaminants and long‑term durability.
Advanced controls are included with touch screen interface and energy monitoring. Control capabilities include water conductivity monitoring, pH and hardness sensing, all combined with a newly designed HMI developed specifically for CDU applications.
