A Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) has a wide range of applications across various industries and high-performance computing environments, primarily used to provide efficient cooling solutions that ensure the stable operation of equipment. Here are some common application scenarios:

1. Data Centers

In data centers, CDUs are used for cooling high-density servers. As IT equipment processing power continues to increase, so does power consumption and heat generation. Traditional air conditioning systems may struggle to meet these demands. CDUs enable more efficient thermal management through liquid cooling, helping to remove excess heat from equipment, improving heat dissipation efficiency, reducing the load on air conditioning, and providing more stable temperature control.

• Liquid cooling systems: The CDU controls the flow of cooling liquids (such as water or other coolants) to remove heat from servers and other IT equipment, and then expels the heat outside through the CDU.
• Energy efficiency improvement: Since liquid cooling is more effective than air cooling, using a CDU can reduce the overall energy consumption of the data center and lower operational costs.

2. Supercomputers

Supercomputers often process large amounts of data and complex computations, generating significant heat. To maintain the stability of these machines, CDUs provide efficient cooling solutions via liquid cooling.

• High-density computing: Supercomputers typically have tightly packed compute units, requiring centralized and efficient cooling solutions. The CDU, as the core of the liquid cooling system, ensures the heat is efficiently extracted from the computing units.
