Schneider Electric introduced its new WCDU coolant distribution unit on September 23, 2026, in Rueil-Malmaison, France. The WCDU supports a hybrid air and liquid cooling system for high-density data centers, offering up to 3.5MW of cooling capacity with an approach temperature difference as low as 2 °C. This unit is designed to be flexible, allowing operators to adjust between liquid and air cooling without major infrastructure changes, optimizing efficiency and reducing operational expenses.

Story summary
On September 23, 2026, in RUEIL-MALMAISON, France, Schneider Electric introduced its new WCDU coolant distribution unit designed for high-density AI data centers. The WCDU offers a cooling capacity up to 3.5MW and supports approach temperature differences as low as 2 °C, improving power usage efficiency (PUE) and reducing operational expenses. This product integrates seamlessly with air-cooling systems, providing greater flexibility in deployment by allowing adjustments between liquid and air cooling without redesigning the data hall infrastructure. The WCDU is tailored for space-constrained environments where high-capacity technical corridor-based cooling architectures are required, making it an accessible solution for simplified high-density deployments.
