Motivair by Schneider Electric liquid cooling portfolio

The Motivair by Schneider Electric portfolio of liquid cooling solutions is designed to handle the thermal management requirements of next-generation high-performance computing (HPC), AI and accelerated computing workloads.

Available globally, these solutions meet the power and GPU-intensive demands of high-density data centres. The complete liquid and air-cooled portfolio comprises both physical data centre infrastructure and software and services. The physical infrastructure includes coolant distribution units (CDUs), rear door heat exchangers (RDHx), liquid-to-air heat dissipation units (HDUs), dynamic cold plates, chillers and more.

Motivair’s CDUs are designed for seamless integration with next-gen processors and accelerators. The CDU family scales from 105 kW to 2.5 MW, is certified for NVIDIA’s latest hardware, and is well-equipped for future increases in rack density. The ChilledDoor Rear Door Heat Exchanger cools rack densities up to 75 kW, and its rack-agnostic design makes it a versatile solution for different HPC environments.

Suitable for AI accelerators, colocation environments, or labs where water is not readily available, the Motivair HDU delivers 100 kW of heat rejection in a footprint just 600 mm wide. It is also capable of creating a water loop with up to 132 kW of cooling capacity — a 1:1 ratio with NVIDIA’s NVL144 computing architecture.

Deploying liquid cooling technology is complex and requires a true end-to-end approach that accounts for technology sourcing and installation, as well as ongoing maintenance. This comprehensive portfolio is designed to address these challenges.
