MCDU-55
Overview
The Motivair MCDU-55 is the flagship coolant distribution unit in the Schneider Electric Motivair MCDU family, delivering 2.7 MW of row-based liquid cooling. It is designed for the front line of the AI build-out, where a single row of GB200/GB300 NVL72-class racks can draw well over a megawatt of thermal load.
Because the MCDU-45, MCDU-50 and MCDU-55 share a control platform, operators can size each row independently — a 2.7 MW MCDU-55 for the densest training row, smaller MCDU units elsewhere — while managing the whole deployment from one interface.
Key Benefits
2.7 MW capacity — the highest in the Motivair MCDU line. Row-based liquid-to-liquid architecture isolates the technology loop. Shared control platform with the rest of the MCDU family.
Applications
Hyperscale and colocation AI training rows, NVIDIA GB200/GB300 NVL72-class deployments, and high-density HPC clusters requiring multi-megawatt row-level liquid cooling.
