Key Players
Competitive Landscape
The liquid cooling loop flushing services market draws four business models: dedicated fluid-service providers, cooling OEMs with commissioning teams, facility thermal groups, and rack-side specialists. Vertiv and OEM-led teams can retain flow records from initial flushing into later service. Rack-side specialists usually depend on facility contractors for the secondary loop. An unresolved boundary between the technology loop and facility loop can delay acceptance at handover.
In March 2025, Vertiv launched four AI infrastructure systems with prefabricated power and liquid-cooling distribution for faster site deployment. Johnson Controls followed in September 2025 with its Silent-Aire CDU platform and regional production in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The two launches give data-center operators more concrete choices on deployment speed and regional field support alongside nominal cooling capacity.
Company developments mapped to drivers, trends and opportunities (2026-2036)
| Development | Driver | Trend | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motivair by Schneider Electric launched MCDU-45 and MCDU-55 CDUs in December 2025. | Data-center engineering teams need more CDU placement choices as liquid cooling reaches more equipment rooms and water conditions. | CDU portfolios now cover more water temperatures and deployment locations. | Flushing contractors can sell hydraulic setup and later rebalancing for a wider range of CDU layouts. |
| Munters disclosed record data-center equipment orders in December 2025 covering CDUs, chillers, air handling, and startup or commissioning. | The colocation order grouped CRAHs, CDUs, chillers, and startup service under one program. | The order places rack-side and facility cooling in one contracted thermal package. | Loop-acceptance work follows startup coordination on projects that purchase several thermal layers together. |
| Trane Technologies completed its Stellar Energy acquisition in February 2026. | Turnkey plant delivery reduces handoffs between cooling-plant construction and rack-side load planning. | The acquisition extends Trane's portfolio into plant engineering and construction for data-center cooling plants. | Flushing and balancing can be sold beside plant integration once facility-water and rack-side loads are reconciled. |
Daikin and Modine cover facility cooling and CDU work outside the development table, and CoolIT Systems focuses on rack-side cold plates, manifolds, CDUs, and deployment support.

The mapped companies cover server cold plates, CDUs, facility hydronics, heat rejection, startup, and later field service.
Who leads the liquid cooling loop flushing services market?
Vertiv has the broadest dedicated flushing and fluid-management position in the mapped set. Motivair by Schneider Electric, Johnson Controls, and Trane Technologies cover more of the equipment-to-service chain.
Which suppliers have documented qualification or quality approvals?
Vertiv, Motivair by Schneider Electric, Munters, and CoolIT Systems publish equipment-level testing or commissioning requirements used during field acceptance. The mapped market does not use one third-party qualification scheme for loop-flushing providers.
Which companies provide high-density AI liquid-cooling products?
Motivair by Schneider Electric, Munters, Daikin, Johnson Controls, Trane Technologies, Modine, and CoolIT Systems provide CDU, cold-plate, chiller, or direct-liquid-cooling equipment for AI and HPC installations.
Which suppliers serve North America and Europe?
All eight mapped companies maintain sales, manufacturing, or service coverage in North America and Europe. Coverage depth differs by product line and local field organization.
Representative Company Overview
| Company | Positioning | Verified Development |
|---|---|---|
| Vertiv | Global critical-infrastructure provider with liquid-cooling services, CDUs, heat rejection, and commissioning support. | In June 2025, Vertiv expanded its CoolChip CDU family with new 70, 100, and 600 models for EMEA AI and HPC applications. |
| Motivair by Schneider Electric | Liquid-cooling specialist backed by Schneider Electric power, chiller, software, and field-service infrastructure. | In February 2026, Schneider Electric opened a Motivair liquid-cooling solutions factory in Bengaluru as a manufacturing and export hub. |
| Munters | Data-center thermal group spanning CDUs, chillers, air systems, dry coolers, and startup support. | In July 2025, Munters broke ground on an expansion of its Data Center Technologies facility in Daleville, Virginia. |
| Daikin | Global HVAC group extending facility cooling into rack-side liquid cooling and CDU collaboration. | In May 2026, Daikin Holdings Singapore signed an MOU with Delta Electronics to develop CDU solutions for ASEAN-Oceania AI and HPC data centers. |
| Johnson Controls | Building-technology and thermal-management group with CDUs, facility cooling, controls, and a large service network. | In October 2025, Johnson Controls invested in Accelsius to extend its data-center thermal offer into two-phase direct-to-chip cooling. |
| Trane Technologies | Global HVAC and thermal-management provider with large-scale chillers, CDUs, controls, and service delivery. | In June 2025, Trane expanded its liquid-cooling portfolio with scalable CDU solutions from 2.5 MW to 10 MW. |
| Modine | Thermal-management manufacturer serving data centers through Airedale chillers, CDUs, heat rejection, and controls. | In March 2025, Airedale by Modine expanded its CDU range to standardized capacities from 400 kW to 2 MW. |
| CoolIT Systems | Rack-side liquid-cooling specialist with cold plates, manifolds, CDUs, and professional services. | In March 2025, CoolIT Systems announced a 4,000 W-ready single-phase direct-liquid-cooling cold plate for high-density processors. |
Research Methodology
The companies mapped here illustrate the market structure rather than an exhaustive ranking. Inclusion requires current, verifiable evidence that a company supplies liquid-cooling loop equipment, flushing, fluid-management, commissioning, or lifecycle thermal services within the defined market scope. Evidence comes from regulatory approvals, third-party certifications, company announcements, product documentation, and public filings. Capabilities are attributed to the stated liquid-cooling service portfolio, CDU platform, heat-rejection system, or field-service line rather than generalised across broader corporate portfolios. Market-share estimates remain proprietary FMI assessments for the forecast period.
