In some examples, a system may include a plurality of cooling distribution units (CDUs) to control cooling of a plurality of computing devices based in part on average differential pressure between a supply and return for each of the plurality of CDUs, temperature of coolant in a loop flowing between each of the plurality of CDUs and computing devices, and facility valve position for each of the plurality of CDUs, wherein one CDU of the plurality of the CDUs is nominated lead CDU and broadcasts flow rate to the plurality of CDUs to follow.

Cooling distribution unit flow rate

Examples herein disclose a coolant distribution unit (CDU) including a valve, a pump, and a controller. The valve controls a coolant through the CDU and the pump maintains a differential pressure of coolant to data center components. The controller exclusively controls the CDU to determine a position of the valve. In the response to the determined position of the valve, the CDU adjusts a speed of the pump.
