Boreas Reveals New CDU for High-Density Data Centres
Boreas Teknoloji (Boreas) has launched a new generation coolant distribution unit (CDU) designed for high-density data centre environments.
The product, developed through the company’s research and product development programmes, addresses the growing thermal management challenges created by dense compute loads and increased energy demands.
Operating under Açık Holding, Boreas Teknoloji positions the CDU as a key technology for operators managing mission-critical workloads where cooling reliability is directly linked to service continuity.
The system acts as a bridge between building-level chilled water and cabinet-level liquid cooling systems, with models supporting up to 1.3 MW of capacity.
Thermal management for AI and cloud growth
The CDU is engineered to deliver precise, efficient thermal transfer between primary and secondary system cycles. By balancing inlet temperatures and managing flow with redundant pumps and advanced controls, the unit aims to extend the lifespan of IT hardware, prevent downtime and maintain stable operating conditions.
This is particularly relevant for facilities hosting AI workloads and cloud platforms, where thermal fluctuations can quickly impact performance and hardware reliability. Boreas says the CDU’s design supports operational sustainability in addition to immediate performance goals.
Meeting operator expectations
Çağrı Akkaya, Data Centre Sales Manager at Boreas Teknoloji, says the product was built around the sector’s most pressing requirements.
“In today’s world, data centres are no longer just storage areas for data – they have become a vital part of the global digital economy. The increasing processing power and data density in these centres bring unprecedented cooling challenges,” he says.
“At Boreas Teknoloji, we are aware of this dynamic change, and we focus on developing solutions that meet not only today’s needs but also tomorrow’s. Our new generation CDU is a tangible example of this focus. While developing our product, we prioritised the most critical expectations of data centre operators, with system reliability, uninterrupted operation, energy efficiency and easy management being at the forefront.”
Design and efficiency features
The CDU’s plate heat exchanger fully isolates the primary and secondary fluid circuits to prevent leakage or contamination. An N+1 redundant pump configuration is available to ensure continued operation during a component failure.
Variable frequency drive-controlled proportional pumps are used to match energy consumption with demand, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. Operators can monitor and control the system remotely via an advanced HMI screen and building management system integration, with compatibility for Modbus RTU/TCP, SNMP and BACnet protocols.
Boreas has also designed the CDU for ease of maintenance, with AI-powered automation to reduce human error and a compact form factor to save space. Built-in leak detection and liquid level monitoring sensors provide early warnings to mitigate risks before they impact operations.
Customisation and scalability
Recognising that no two data centres have identical cooling needs, Boreas offers options for water, glycol or other special coolants. Additional sensors, shut-off valves, expansion tanks and even customised cabinet colours can be specified.
“We also place great importance on sustainability and energy efficiency,” says Çağrı. “This reduces operational costs while minimising environmental impact. Finally, recognising that every data centre has unique needs, we offer scalability and custom configuration options. We can provide exactly the solutions our customers need.”
Global ambitions in cooling innovation
Boreas Teknoloji says the CDU reflects its long-term strategy to compete internationally by supplying technology-driven, high-performance infrastructure components. Its continued investment in research and product development supports its aim to provide solutions for the next generation of digital infrastructure.
The company believes its approach will allow it to turn industry challenges into growth opportunities, positioning the CDU as both a current market solution and a foundation for future product development. With the increasing scale and complexity of AI, cloud and enterprise data centre environments, Boreas is positioning its cooling technology as a benchmark for operational reliability and sustainability.
