Johnson Controls has introduced its Silent-Aire Coolant Distribution platform in India to meet the increasing thermal management demands of data centers handling high-density and AI workloads.

The action is prompted by projections that India’s data center capacity will exceed 9,000 MW by 2030, fueled by swift cloud adoption, business digitalization, and AI growth.

The recently launched liquid cooling system is designed to assist operators in handling increasing rack power levels while ensuring energy efficiency is preserved.

Engineered for adaptability, the coolant distribution units (CDUs) vary from 500kW to more than 10MW and can be installed either in-row or around the edges of a data hall.

This enables facilities to transition to higher-density computing without needing extensive redesigns, a crucial consideration for space-limited hubs in cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad.

Every CDU incorporates several heat exchangers and pumps into one unit to reduce the number of individual systems on location and maximize available floor space.

The system includes automated controls that allow for independent or coordinated operation, dynamically adjusting cooling output in response to demand changes or equipment malfunctions.

Johnson Controls stated that the platform aids the drive for increased energy efficiency by lowering power usage for non-IT operations—a crucial sustainability objective as data centers keep expanding.
