LG Electronics has secured official NVIDIA certification for its 600kW Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU), validating its thermal management technology against NVIDIA's AI Factory infrastructure standards and making LG an officially verified partner for AI Factory deployments. The certification is intended to simplify supplier qualification for large-scale AI infrastructure while reducing procurement risk. LG says its 600kW CDU passed more than 100 technical evaluation criteria as part of NVIDIA's verification process, which assessed cooling performance, reliability and failover capabilities required in high-density AI environments. The CDU is designed around a direct-to-chip liquid cooling approach, delivering coolant directly to components including GPUs and CPUs, creating a hybrid cooling architecture that works alongside conventional air cooling. The system maintains temperature control within ±0.25 degrees Celsius and incorporates virtual sensor technology for continuous monitoring and leak detection. LG also integrates its Data Center Cooling Control Manager platform with the CDU. The certification forms part of LG's wider strategy to provide a "chip-to-chiller" portfolio covering chillers, coolant distribution units, and cold plates across the entire thermal chain inside AI data centres.
