Currently, Kaori develops In-Rack CDU (Direct-to-Chip (D2C) Cold Plate In-Rack CDU), which is capable of 80 kW heat dissipating from the cabinet. This provides an effective cooling solution for high-power processors, simultaneously reducing the overall Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the data center, achieving more efficient computational operations, and reducing environmental energy waste.
Utilizing the liquid-to-liquid heat exchange principle, waste heat generated from the server's cold plate loop is transferred to the facility cooling loop for heat exchange. The cooling liquids in these two loops remain separate, preventing mutual contamination. Additionally, waste heat can be reused through recovery equipment. This system significantly reduces overall PUE to below 1.2, decreases power consumption by 20% to 30%, and saves operational costs.
Hot Swappable Pump Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU)
The core component of the CDU is the Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger, with Kaori boasting 30 years of experience as a leading designer and manufacturer of plate heat exchangers in Taiwan. Kaori's CDU utilizes the liquid-to-liquid heat exchange principle, recovering and reusing waste heat from the server while optimizing hot-swappable functionality for maintenance without downtime. The CDU is installed at the bottom of the cabinet, corresponding to the height of four 4U servers.
Coolant Distribution Manifolds (CDM)
These coolant distribution manifolds (CDM) are suspended in the rear space of the cabinet, primarily providing cooling liquid circulation to each cold plate on the server, allowing a maximum of 2 cooling loops per 1U server.
