What the shared parts are
- CDU internals: plate heat exchangers, pumps, filters — The internal components of a CDU — plate heat exchangers, pumps, and filters — that do the actual heat exchange, circulation, and particulate control inside the unit.
- Plate HX — Plate heat exchangers that isolate one water loop from another — for example, the facility loop from the IT-side loop — so a leak or pressure event on one side doesn't cross into the other.
- Heat reuse & district heating interfaces — Heat exchangers and interconnection equipment that export waste heat from a data center's cooling loop into a district heating network or other end use instead of rejecting it to atmosphere.
