Motivair by Schneider Electric has launched a new 2.5MW high-capacity coolant distribution unit (CDU) to meet the escalating cooling demands of next-generation AI data centres, which generate signficantly more heat than traditional facilities.

• The new MCDU-70 unit has a capacity of 2.5MW, making it the highest-capacity CDU in Motivair's portfolio and capable of scaling beyond 10MW when multiple units are deployed.
• Motivair by Schneider Electric, unveiled the MCDU-70 on Tuesday, targeting high-density computing environments like AI factories.
• AI-focused data centres generate between 20 and 50 times more heat than traditional CPU-based facilities, driving the demand for advanced liquid cooling solutions.
