Nidec develops 300kW capacity CDU
8th June 2026
JAPAN: Nidec claims to have developed a prototype in-rack CDU with a cooling capacity of up to 300kW.
Designed to address the rising thermal load in data centres driven by the widespread adoption of generative AI, the CDU will be debuted at this week’s Interop Tokyo exhibition, Japan’s premier internet and digital infrastructure technology exhibition.
It is equipped with both internal and external leak sensors, along with real-time monitoring capabilities for temperature, pressure, flow rate, and liquid levels, with alarms to notify operators of any anomalies.
Boasting high compatibility with industry-standard rack systems, it conforms to the OCP ORV3 standard rack specifications widely adopted in cutting-edge data centres.
It is also said to be flexible enough to be deployed across diverse environments, from step-by-step liquid cooling retrofits using existing infrastructure to the new design of next-generation AI data centres.
