“ It’ s about having efficiency across design, architecture and at product level as AI workloads continue to demand more energy”
NIRUPA CHANDER, SVP FOR SECURE POWER & DATA CENTRES INTERNATIONAL, SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
Schneider Electric has doubled down on its commitment to sustainability and now wins multiple awards, including the recognition from TIME, for its environmental strategy. A significant part of this is thanks its liquid cooling solutions, which help data centres meet their sustainability goals.
“ Liquid cooling is the most efficient way to cool this level of thermal load that we’ re seeing in AI compute now,” Nirupa explains.“ High workloads generate a lot of heat and need a lot of cooling. The acquisition of Motivair marks an important step as its unique liquid cooling portfolio completes our Chip to Chiller portfolio bringing decades of experience in AI together with Schneider Electric’ s sustainability expertise for our customers.”
The Motivair acquisition closed at the start of 2025, with Schneider Electric now harnessing its liquid cooling solutions as part of its portfolio to support continued AI growth.
“ Motivair completes our solution portfolio around AI and Chip to Chiller for data centres.”
Cooling distribution units( CDUs), are also working to manage heat load transfer from the IT load and enhance its liquid cooling solutions for customers. In addition, Nirupa explains that Schneider Electric has modular solutions and reference designs that prioritise efficiency. There are a number of white papers to help customers design the topology that’ s right for them more sustainably.
“ With these solutions, what’ s important is to understand the overall design of the system,” she says.
