Thermal Management

Supporting Modern Data Center Thermal Management

Today's data centers face increasing thermal demands driven by AI workloads, higher rack densities, evolving cooling architectures, and aggressive uptime requirements.

Cooling infrastructure must do more than reject heat. It must support operational reliability, future expansion, energy efficiency, and changing cooling strategies.

Cooling Ecosystem — Thermal Management
HOT LOOP → ← COLD LOOP
STAGE 01
Data center server rack
IT Load

High-density racks, accelerated computing, direct-to-chip cold plates.

STAGE 02
Fan wall unit
Heat Capture

Fan wall units move room air across cooling coils, capturing rack heat into the water loop.

STAGE 03
Coolant Distribution Unit

Coolant Distribution Unit — primary and secondary loop separation and distribution.

STAGE 04
G&D Chillers
Heat Rejection — G&D Platforms

GDX Air, GDX Free, Screw and Scroll chiller platforms.

G&D cooling solutions are designed to support:
Traditional chilled water infrastructure
Direct-to-chip cooling environments
Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs)
Hybrid air and liquid cooling strategies
High-density computing applications
Next-generation AI-ready facilities

Primary and Secondary Cooling Loops

The primary loop carries chilled water from the G&D chiller to the fan wall units and CDU in the gray space. The CDU separates that facility water from the technology cooling loop, circulating conditioned coolant to the racks while fan wall units deliver cold air to the data hall.
