Vertiv introduces data centre cooling solution

Vertiv has today introduced the Vertiv Liebert CWA, a new generation of thermal management system for slab floor data centres.

The Liebert CWA has been designed to provide uniform air distribution to the larger surface area which comes with a slab floor application, while also allowing more space for rack installation and compute density.

The new chilled water thermal wall cooling unit was developed in the United States and is available in 250kW, 350kW and 500kW capacities.

Liebert CWA technology uses integrated controls to facilitate improved airflow management and provide an efficient solution for infrastructures facing the challenges of modern IT applications.

Roberto Felisi, senior global director, thermal core offering, Vertiv, explained, “The launch of the Liebert CWA reinforces our mission to provide innovative, state-of-the-art technologies for our customers that allow them to optimise the design and operation of their data centres.

“As the Liebert CWA can be quickly integrated with existing cooling systems, customers can leverage all the benefits of a slab floor layout, such as lower installation and maintenance costs, and a greater availability of white space.”

Vertiv has developed the Liebert CWA in close consultation with experienced data centre operators. With data centres having a myriad of layouts and equipment configurations, Vertiv has defined a strategic roadmap to enhance standardised thermal management solutions for slab floor applications.
