What is the Open Compute Project OCP Project Deschutes ?

The Project Deschutes CDU specification requires 2 megawatts of cooling capacity with an aggressive 3°C approach temperature difference (ATD) to meet the growing thermal demands of modern AI and cloud workloads. It supports advanced cold plate designs that maximize heat transfer efficiency for high-power processors and operates at an available pressure of 80 PSI.

To maintain coolant integrity and extend system life, Project Deschutes CDU utilizes 0.2-micron side stream filtration and fully redundant power feeds for each pump circuit. A dedicated 230 VAC convenience port simplifies setup and maintenance in existing data center environments, while IEEE 519 ultra low harmonic distortion (ULHD) Variable Frequency Drives ensure clean, stable facility power.

Eaton’s global high-capacity facilities manufacture cold plates, liquid cooling loops and the two-megawatt Project Deschutes CDU. With engineering and service teams across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, Eaton delivers scalable supply chain strength, responsive regional support and consistent manufacturing quality.

Eaton’s participation in the 2025 Open Compute Project Global Summit reinforces its commitment to advancing open, sustainable and high-performance liquid cooling technologies. Backed by decades of thermal management expertise and a proven legacy in liquid cooling design, Eaton drives the development of efficient, reliable and globally deployable data center infrastructure. Collaborate with Eaton to engineer the next-generation cooling solutions that powers the future of data-driven innovation.
