Tecnair CDU debuts at Data Centre World

UK: Tecnair is to introduce a new high‑performance coolant distribution unit to meet the rising thermal demands created by AI and high‑performance computing.

Said to be flexible and scalable, the CDU is available as 400kW and 800kW units with modular networking to support deployments ranging from edge environments to hyperscale data centres. 

The CDU is being previewed this week at Data Centre World London. 

Designed for continuous 24/7 operation, its fully redundant architecture includes pumps, power supplies, sensors, and a failover system to ensure uninterrupted cooling during maintenance or component failure.

It includes integrated Modbus BMS control with embedded sensors provides real‑time monitoring of temperature, pressure, flow rate, water level, leak detection, and system alarms, all accessible via a wide intuitive touchscreen interface for seamless local and remote management.

Tecnair was acquired by Panasonic in 2022 as part of the commercial air conditioning business of Swedish HVAC manufacturer Systemair. 

The CDU range will be available across European markets from the Autumn.
