We are seeing strong and rapidly growing demand across the data centre sector. Alongside this growth, sustainability targets are becoming increasingly ambitious, driving the need for reliable, long-term technology partners.
Daikin is committed to addressing these challenges and will showcase its approach at Data Centre World Frankfurt, taking place on 6–7 May 2026 at Messe Frankfurt (Hall 8, Stand J134).
At the event, Daikin will demonstrate how advanced cooling strategies can support sustainable and resilient growth across the data centre industry.
Register now to experience the future of sustainable data centre cooling.
Why Choosing the Right Technology Partner Is Critical
Data centres are expanding rapidly and evolving into increasingly complex ecosystems involving technology, processes and people. This growth introduces new challenges, including reducing operational risk, meeting stricter sustainability regulations, and lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions.
At the same time, supply chain reliability remains a major concern. Tight project timelines, long lead times, and the coordination of multiple stakeholders mean that any weakness in product quality, availability or technical support can jeopardise project success and long-term system performance.
In this environment, choosing the right technology partner becomes a critical factor in mitigating risk throughout the entire data centre lifecycle.
Daikin addresses these challenges through an integrated, end-to-end approach that combines proven technologies, deep application expertise and strong organisational capability. From early-stage design consultancy through to system engineering, testing, commissioning and lifecycle services, Daikin supports projects at every stage.
To further enhance delivery speed, efficiency and reliability, Daikin has established a dedicated organisation focused exclusively on data centre solutions.
A flagship example of this expertise is OSL Hamar, Norway’s largest data centre, owned by Green Mountain. With an average PUE of 1.2, the facility sets a new industry benchmark for efficiency and sustainability. Daikin contributed by supplying 71 free cooling chillers, 330 fan array units and 8 control systems, directly supporting the customer’s sustainability strategy.
Daikin also operates dedicated facilities in Italy, where Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) can be performed on systems up to 10 MW. These large-scale testing capabilities help reduce project risk, improve predictability, and ensure systems perform as expected once installed on site.
From an architectural perspective, Daikin supports all major cooling strategies — from traditional air- and water-cooled systems to emerging technologies such as liquid cooling and integrated heat recovery. This flexibility enables operators to meet current demands while remaining fully prepared for future requirements.
Data Centre World Frankfurt 2026: Connecting Innovation and Expertise
At Data Centre World Frankfurt 2026, Daikin will present its approach through both technology showcases and direct engagement with its specialists.
Alongside its established portfolio, Daikin will introduce its new Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU), designed to support high-density, AI-ready liquid-cooled environments, reflecting the company’s ongoing investment in future-ready technologies.
Through real-world case studies and hands-on demonstrations, Daikin aims to translate industry challenges into practical, scalable solutions. The focus is not only on innovation, but also on enabling data centres to scale while maintaining resilience, energy efficiency and long-term sustainability.
Importantly, Daikin will also highlight the value of strong partnerships, a critical factor in navigating the rapidly evolving data centre landscape.
Daikin’s Data Centre Cooling Portfolio
Daikin offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions designed to deliver efficiency, flexibility and long-term operational stability across a wide range of data centre environments:
Air-to-Water Free Cooling Chillers
Designed to operate reliably between –20°C and +55°C, these chillers maximise free cooling potential, reducing mechanical load, lowering energy consumption and extending system lifespan.
With capacities from 183 to 2154 kW and options including scroll compressors and Daikin-developed VFD screw compressors, they deliver exceptional part-load efficiency. Glycol-free configurations further enhance performance while reducing maintenance requirements.
Intelligent Data Centre Manager (iDCM)
An AI-driven control platform that continuously monitors and optimises chiller performance, supporting efficiency, reliability and predictive lifecycle management.
Pro W Fan Array Units
Scalable cooling modules available in capacities from 175 to 500 kW, offering flexibility, efficiency and resilience across facilities of all sizes.
Pro C CRAH Units
Designed for a wide range of data centre configurations, these units combine optimised aerodynamics with advanced controls to deliver high performance and energy efficiency.
With capacities from 30 to 210 kW, the modular design allows seamless integration into different layouts and redundancy strategies.
Pro W Slim
