Midea Building Technologies (MBT) has introduced a power-cooling hyperconverged architecture and a full-stack cooling solution for AI data centers, targeting high-density computing, liquid cooling, tropical climates and low-carbon operation.
The power-cooling hyperconverged architecture integrates power systems, energy storage, magnetic bearing cooling sources and liquid cooling CDUs into a unified infrastructure stack. It connects power supply, energy storage, cooling and liquid cooling distribution from the early stage of data center construction. Coordinated operation of magnetic bearing cooling sources, free cooling and liquid cooling terminals is designed to reduce reliance on mechanical cooling and support improved PUE performance.
MBT’s full-stack cooling solution covers cooling sources, cooling distribution and terminal heat dissipation. Its Magnetic CDU combines a magnetic bearing cooling source with a distribution unit, replacing the separated “chiller + passive CDU” configuration. According to MBT, the system can reduce equipment footprint by up to 70% and support a PUE below 1.2 under suitable operating conditions.
The company also introduced an Air-Cooled Magnetic Centrifugal Chiller for hot, water-scarce environments, with a COP of up to 5.4. Its Industrial-Grade CDU provides 2.6 MW (approx. 739 refrigeration tons) of cooling capacity at a 3K temperature difference and is designed for liquid cooling distribution in large-scale AI clusters and high-density racks.
MBT also highlighted its collaboration with Keppel at the Gui’an Midea Cloud Data Center in China. The project combines MBT hardware with Keppel’s digital platform and provides up to 7,654 hours of annual free cooling, with a stable PUE below 1.2.
The technologies were showcased at Asia Data Centre World 2026, held at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on September 29–30. MBT also released a technical white paper covering the power-cooling hyperconverged architecture across AI data center planning, construction and operation.
