As the demand for high-performance computing and AI-driven workloads grows, data centres require efficient, scalable, and sustainable cooling solutions. At DCW London, Hitema will showcase two advanced technologies designed to meet these challenges - the coolant distribution unit (CDU) and the free cooling chiller with Turbocor compressors.
CDU – optimising liquid cooling for data centres
Liquid cooling is becoming essential for high-density IT environments, where traditional air cooling is no longer sufficient. Our CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) plays a key role in liquid cooling loops, efficiently transferring heat from IT equipment to external cooling systems.
Key features:
- Plate heat exchanger for efficient thermal transfer
- 663 kW heat exchange capacity at design conditions
- Fully stainless-steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- VDF pump with 2 bar available pressure for precise flow control
- Stackable design (up to 2 units) to optimise space in data centres.
The CDU ensures a stable and efficient cooling process, supporting the growing adoption of direct-to-chip and dielectric fluid cooling technologies, which are crucial for AI, HPC, and hyperscale data centres.
Free cooling chiller with Turbocor compressors – energy efficiency and sustainability
Optimising energy efficiency and reducing operational costs are top priorities in data centres. Hitema's advanced free cooling chiller, equipped with Turbocor compressors, offers a high-performance, low-energy solution tailored to data centre applications.
Key features:
- 6 high-performance fans for enhanced free cooling capability
- Flooded evaporator for superior heat exchange efficiency
- R1234ZE refrigerant (low GWP) for environmental sustainability
- 320 kW cooling capacity under standard conditions (12/7°C, 35°C ambient)
- Turbocor compressors – ultra-efficient, oil-free, and variable-speed technology.
Turbocor compressors significantly reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs by eliminating oil-related inefficiencies. Their variable-speed operation adjusts cooling output dynamically, ensuring optimal performance even at partial loads – a crucial advantage for data centres where cooling demands fluctuate.
