LG's 2.6 MW AI data center cooling unit gets NVIDIA qualification; new US chiller plant planned
NVIDIA has qualified a 2.6 MW coolant distribution unit (CDU) from LG, which can cool several high-power-density server racks at once. LG is introducing an air-cooled centrifugal chiller and opening a new US factory for AI data center cooling equipment.
Who is affected and how
- engineer
- CDUs qualified for high-power-density racks and oil-free chillers widen the choices available for cooling design.
- supplier
- New US chiller production may mean both a competitor and a source of component demand in the cooling equipment supply chain.
