Coolant Distribution Unit

The Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) Sub-Project operates under the OCP Cooling Environments Project. The sub-project collaborates on the integration of Advanced Cooling Solutions (ACS) into data center facilities via liquid distribution. Participants develop solutions, guidance and reference designs that enable ACS deployment in both new and existing data centers. For those looking to learn more, the OCP Project Deschutes: Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) v1.0 eLearning course is available on OCP Academy. To get involved, become an OCP member and join the CDU Mailing List to take part in the sub-project's ongoing collaboration.
