New Delhi: Johnson Controls has launched its Silent-Aire Coolant Distribution platform in India to address the growing thermal management needs of data centers supporting high-density and AI workloads. The move comes as India’s data center capacity is projected to surpass 9,000 MW by 2030, driven by rapid cloud adoption, enterprise digitization, and AI expansion.
The newly introduced liquid cooling system aims to help operators manage rising rack power levels while maintaining energy efficiency. Designed for flexibility, the coolant distribution units (CDUs) range from 500kW to over 10MW and can be deployed either in-row or along the perimeter of a data hall. This allows facilities to upgrade to higher-density computing without requiring major redesigns, an important factor for space-constrained hubs in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
Each CDU integrates multiple heat exchangers and pumps within a single unit to minimize the number of separate systems on-site and optimize floor space. The system also features automated controls that enable independent or coordinated operation, adjusting cooling output dynamically based on demand fluctuations or equipment failure.
Johnson Controls said the platform supports the push for greater energy efficiency by reducing power consumption for non-IT functions—a key sustainability goal as data centers continue to scale.
Arun Awasthy, President and Managing Director of Johnson Controls India, noted that advanced cooling has become essential for both performance and sustainability in high-density computing environments, emphasizing the company’s focus on scalable and intelligent thermal management solutions.
