Midea Building Technologies used Data Center World Asia 2026 in Singapore to present its latest cooling products for high-density AI data centers. The lineup includes a power-cooling hyperconverged architecture, a magnetic bearing CDU, an air-cooled magnetic centrifugal chiller, and an industrial-grade CDU with 2.6 MW capacity. Midea says the magnetic CDU can support PUE below 1.2 and reduce equipment footprint by up to 70%. The company also highlighted its work with Keppel at the Gui'an Midea Cloud Data Center in China, where the setup reportedly delivered more than 7,600 hours of annual free cooling. The article is essentially a vendor announcement, so actual performance will depend on site conditions, grid mix, and how the systems hold up under real loads. Still, the focus on cutting mechanical cooling and integrating power with cooling is relevant to anyone tracking data center energy use and carbon impact.
