Everything shaping
the world of cooling.

Schneider Electric has announced the Motivair WCDU coolant distribution unit, which bridges Fan Wall air-cooling systems with direct liquid cooling (DLC) in AI data centers. A single unit delivers up to 3.5 MW of cooling capacity, while a group configuration of up to 20 units covers 30–40 MW of thermal load.
Chinese thermal management manufacturer Tongfei has signed a long-term partnership agreement with Canadian CES Corporation in the field of data center liquid cooling. The partnership provides access to North American projects through Intelliflex's modular infrastructure, though specific products, order volumes, and delivery schedules have not yet been disclosed.
According to IDC, revenue of liquid-cooling server suppliers in China grew 153.1% year-on-year in H1 2026, with a projected five-year CAGR of approximately 49%. The key shift is the move from selling individual components to delivering pre-integrated, rack-level systems, which is restructuring roles across the thermal management supply chain.
LG Electronics has introduced an air-cooled centrifugal chiller (480–600 RT) built around an oil-free magnetic-bearing compressor and refrigerant free-cooling, targeting the growing cooling demands of AI data centres. The system includes an integrated UPS for rapid restart and a management platform covering CDUs, CRAHs and chillers.
At the DCD Connect Brasil conference in São Paulo, Midea presented the Magnetic CDU — a unit integrating a magnetic levitation compressor, cooling source, and heat distribution system in a single enclosure. The company states the solution reduces delivery and installation time by more than 50% and is compatible with dry cooler systems.
D60-W combines liquid and air cooling with chillers, dry coolers and coordinated controls.
