Johnson Controls has launched a scalable liquid cooling solution for high-density data centres in Asia Pacific (APAC).
Unveiled at Data Centre World Asia 2025 in Singapore, the new Silent-Aire Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) deliver scalable cooling capacities from 500kW up to more than 10MW, meeting the rising demand driven by AI and high-density chips.
Designed for flexibility, they support both in-row and perimeter deployments, and versatile enough for edge environments or large-scale AI factories.
Advanced redundancy features, including up to three heat exchangers and pumps in one system, maximise uptime and minimise space requirements, crucial for urban markets such as Singapore.
“As AI accelerates, denser chips are generating unprecedented heat, making cooling innovation a critical priority. The launch of this expanded series of CDU technology marks a pivotal step in our commitment to advance data centre cooling,” said Ali Badreddine, Vice President of Data Centre Solutions and Project Delivery in Asia Pacific at Johnson Controls.
Johnson Controls’ new series targets the need for precise, efficient thermal management in APAC’s accelerating data centre landscape.
The solution integrates with the existing Silent-Aire, York and M&M Carnot portfolio to further improve overall facility efficiency and reducing non-IT energy consumption by nearly 50 percent.
Advanced adaptive controls allow the units to operate independently or together and automatically respond to fluctuations in cooling demand without manual intervention.
