Daikin Holdings Singapore Pte. Ltd. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Delta Electronics, Inc. to collaborate on next-generation Coolant Distribution Unit solutions for AI and high-performance computing data centres across the ASEAN-Oceania region.
The MOU was signed on April 22, 2026. The companies said the partnership combines Daikin’s facility-level cooling and thermal management experience with Delta’s server-side liquid cooling and CDU technologies.
The collaboration aims to support rack power densities ranging from 100 kW to 3000 kW (approx. 341,000 to 10.2 million BTU/h). The planned ecosystem will include Delta Fans and Thermal Business Group’s in-rack and in-row CDU portfolios, including a scalable and modular stack-up CDU series.
Daikin said the partnership links its data centre grey-space cooling capabilities with Delta’s white-space and chip-level expertise. The companies said this would enable thermal management solutions from facility infrastructure to servers and chips.
“The focus is clear—to turn alignment into execution. This collaboration is not about what has already been achieved, but about what we will build together through speed, integration, and disciplined execution,” said Jimmy Yiin, Executive Vice President of Global Business Operations, Delta Electronics, Inc.
Daikin and Delta said the MOU reflects their shared commitment to accelerate the adoption of liquid cooling technologies and support more efficient, resilient, and sustainable data centre infrastructure for AI-driven workloads. Both companies also expressed confidence in building a collaboration model in the ASEAN-Oceania region, with potential for global expansion at scale.
