Midea Showcases Breakthrough Cooling Technologies for High-Density AI Data Centers at Data Center World Asia 2026

SINGAPORE, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asia Data Centre World 2026 was held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore from September 29 to 30. During the exhibition, Midea Building Technologies (MBT) showcased its next-gen power-cooling hyperconvergence architecture and full stack AI Data Center (AIDC) cooling solutions for the Asia-Pacific region, covering key application scenarios such as high-density computing, liquid cooling, tropical climate and low-carbon operation. The exhibition hall was crowded with visitors, and discussions around AI infrastructure upgrading, Data center energy efficiency optimization and the development of liquid cooling technology continued to heat up, attracting numerous industry customers, partners and technical experts to stop and exchange views.

Power-Cooling Hyperconverged Architecture, The Industry-First Breakthrough

At the event, MBT presented the industry's first power-cooling hyperconverged architecture. Integrating power systems, energy storage, magnetic bearing cooling sources, and liquid cooling CDUs into a unified infrastructure stack, it connects "power supply—energy storage—cooling—liquid cooling distribution" from the early stage of data center construction.

During the event, MBT also released a related technical white paper, further elaborating on the architecture's technology pathway across AI data center planning, construction, and operation. More than a summary of Midea's technical solutions, the white paper reflects a deep understanding of the global development trends in data center infrastructure, providing a quantifiable and replicable technical reference for addressing the key challenge of integrating electrical and thermal systems.

As rack power density rises, this system-level approach improves the matching between power supply and cooling. Coordinated operation of magnetic bearing cooling sources, free cooling, and liquid cooling terminals also reduces reliance on mechanical cooling, supporting improved PUE performance and low-carbon operation.

Full-Stack Cooling, The Revolutionary Innovation

Addressing the full-chain heat dissipation requirements of AI data centers from cooling source to terminal, this full-stack cooling solution connects the cooling source, cooling distribution, and terminal heat dissipation links, enabling efficient temperature control under complex climate conditions and resource constraints. Built on this system, three flagship products are serving as the key pillars for solution deployment.

Magnetic CDU: Integrating a magnetic bearing cooling source with a distribution unit, it replaces the separated "chiller + passive CDU" model. It reduces equipment footprint by up to 70%, shortens deployment cycles, and supports a PUE below 1.2 under suitable operating conditions.

Air-Cooled Magnetic Centrifugal Chiller: Designed for hot, water-scarce environments, it reduces cooling water dependence and delivers a COP of up to 5.4, providing an efficient and flexible cooling source for data centers.

Industrial-Grade CDU: With 2.6 MW cooling capacity at a 3K temperature difference and high-availability support, it ensures stable liquid cooling distribution for large-scale AI clusters and high-density racks.

MBT × Keppel: Building the Future of Green Data Centers

At DCW Asia, MBT highlighted its strategic collaboration with Keppel on green data center infrastructure from design to delivery and operation. The Gui'an Midea Cloud Data Center in China showcases this partnership, combining MBT's hardware with Keppel's digital platform to deliver up to 7,654 hours of annual free cooling and a stable PUE below 1.2. It offers a replicable model for green data center development across APAC's fast-growing AI infrastructure markets.

From full-stack AIDC cooling solutions to power-cooling hyperconvergence architecture, and from magnetic innovation to collaboration with Keppel, MBT is reinforcing its commitment to the Asia Pacific market. Backed by the world's first fully AI-powered chiller Lighthouse Factory, 193 local service sites across 29 countries, and spare parts centers in 34 countries, MBT is ready to provide responsive support and empower the next generation of efficient, resilient data centers across Asia Pacific.
