Scalable data centre liquid cooling solution
8th September 2025
UK: Johnson Controls has expanded its data centre thermal management offerings with the launch of the Silent-Aire coolant distribution unit (CDU) platform.
This latest addition to Johnson Controls’ portfolio enables data centres to seamlessly transition to liquid cooling as rack densities rise.
The Silent-Aire CDUs offer a wide range of scalable cooling capacities from 500kW to over 10MW in flexible designs that the manufacturer says are tailored to suit the needs of any data center deployment.
“By collaborating with leading ecosystem players in the hyperscale, colocation and semiconductor industry, we’ve engineered an innovative and scalable platform that meets the demands of next-generation AI training and inference hardware,” said Austin Domenici, Johnson Controls Data Center Solutions vice president and general manager.
Positioned either within the rack row adjacent to heat-generating equipment or in the whitespace perimeter, Silent-Aire CDUs are said to be designed for flexibility to support a wide range of liquid-cooling configurations and hybrid designs.
