The CHx200 CDU for In-Rack Direct Liquid Cooling

The CHx200 is built for HPC and enterprise deployments that need direct liquid cooling without adding row-based infrastructure. It sits inside a standard 4U rack slot and cools up to 200 high-TDP servers in the same rack.

HPC Server Racks

Up to 200 high-TDP HPC servers cooled from within the rack, at 200 kW of total cooling capacity per CHx200 unit.

Enterprise Data Centers Without Row-Based Rebuilds

Install the CHx200 in the top or bottom of an existing 19-inch server rack. No row-based CDU footprint, no dedicated cooling aisle, no floor plan redesign.

Warm-Water and Free-Cooling Deployments

ASHRAE W17 to W+ compatibility enables chiller-free operation in most climates and heat-reuse strategies where facility infrastructure supports it.

Density By Design

200 kW of Direct Liquid Cooling Inside the Rack

The CHx200 delivers 200 kW of direct liquid cooling in just 4U of rack space, with warm-water compatibility and N+1 redundancy for continuous operation.

200 kW in a 4U Slot

The CHx200 delivers 200 kW of cooling from a 4U rack-mount chassis, eliminating the need for a separate row-based CDU footprint.

 Up to 200 Servers per Rack

One CHx200 can cool up to 200 servers and mount at the top or bottom of the rack. Servers remain hot-swappable for easier service.

Warm-Water Compatible Across the ASHRAE Range (W17 to W+)

ASHRAE W17 to W+ compatibility supports chilled or warm-water operation, enabling free cooling and heat reuse where facility conditions allow.

N+1 Redundant Pumps and Power

N+1 pumps and power supplies help keep cooling online through a single component failure, while intelligent controls provide continuous leak monitoring.
