SHANGHAI, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trane®— by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator – has announced the launch of its new DCDA series, the first locally developed Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) solution specifically designed for data centers in Asia Pacific region. Tailored to the unique requirements of liquid cooling in this market, the DCDA series addresses heat dissipation challenges in the era of high-density computing. With exceptional system flexibility, superior energy efficiency, and outstanding integration capabilities, it delivers data centers with an efficient, reliable and sustainable holistic liquid cooling solution.

With the explosive growth in AI computing demands and the development of high-power-density equipment, traditional air cooling solutions are struggling to keep pace with soaring server cabinet heat loads. Liquid cooling technologies are emerging as the prefered choice for data center heat dissipation. UBS reports predict a compound annual growth rate of 51% for the global direct liquid cooling market for data centers from 2024 to 2030. As the market rapidly expands, coping with high-density heat dissipation demands and overcoming the integration challenges of complex systems have become critical issues for the industry to address.

"The launch of our new CDU marks a technological breakthrough and a significant step in advancing high-density data centers in Asia Pacific," said Bruce Zhongping Gu, vice president, Engineering and Technology, Trane Technologies Asia Pacific. "Building on more than a century of climate expertise and deep regional insights, our CDU series delivers outstanding efficiency, flexibility and customization to meet the evolving needs of the market, further reinforcing our position as a leading innovator and trusted partner in the region."

Compact & Flexible Solution for Diverse Scenarios

To address the demanding space requirements of high-density servers in data centers, the DCDA series features a space-efficient design that aligns with standard server racks and supports both in-row and in-room deployment. A standout feature is its full-front-access maintenance architecture, which allows installation against walls or back-to-back, eliminating the need for rear maintenance aisles and saving up to 20% of room floor space. Equipped with rail-mounted water pumps and angled filters that support online maintenance, it facilitates convenient service operations while effectively minimizing environmental disruption, ensuring continuous and stable data center operation.
