Daikin Holdings Singapore and Delta Electronics Sign MOU for Next-Generation CDU Solutions in ASEAN-Oceania Data Centres

On April 22, 2026, Daikin Holdings Singapore Pte. Ltd. and Delta Electronics, Inc. signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on next-generation Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) solutions for AI and High-Performance Computing data centres across the ASEAN-Oceania region. The agreement was announced on May 11, 2026. Liu Shaw Jiun, Managing Director of Daikin Holdings Singapore, and Martin Tsai, General Manager of Delta's Fans and Thermal Management Business Group, exchanged the MOU documents at the signing ceremony.

The MOU envisions an integrated, end-to-end data centre cooling ecosystem that pairs Daikin's century-long leadership in facility-level (grey-space) cooling and thermal management with Delta's advanced expertise in server-side (white-space) and chip-level liquid cooling. Key technical parameters of the collaboration include:

• Rack power densities ranging from 100 kW to 3000 kW
• Delta Fans and Thermal Business Group's In-Rack and In-Row CDU portfolios
• The latest highly scalable and modular stack-up CDU series

Junichi Omori, Executive Officer and General Manager of the Global Operation Division at Daikin Industries Ltd., noted that the partnership aligns two companies with shared values in innovation, sustainability, and reliability. He explained that combining Daikin's strength in data centre grey-space cooling with Delta's white-space and chip-level expertise enables holistic thermal management solutions spanning from facility-level infrastructure down to servers and chips.

Jimmy Yiin, Executive Vice President of Global Business Operations at Delta Electronics, emphasized the execution-driven nature of the collaboration. He stated that the focus is to turn alignment into execution, and that the partnership is about what the two companies will build together through speed, integration, and disciplined execution, rather than what has already been achieved.

The MOU reflects a shared commitment to accelerate the adoption of liquid cooling technologies and to support more efficient, resilient, and sustainable data centre infrastructure in response to the growing demands of AI-driven workloads. Both companies expressed confidence in building a successful collaboration model in the ASEAN-Oceania region, with potential for global expansion at scale.
