LG Electronics has inked a long-term contract with AIR Control Concepts, a global HVAC provider, to supply advanced chillers for large-scale AI data centers in the United States and Canada, the company announced on Monday. The agreement covers projects with a combined capacity of over 5 gigawatts, bolstering LG's standing in the rapidly expanding AI data center cooling sector.
AIR manages substantial infrastructure initiatives in key North American data center centers and collaborates with prominent global data center operators. As part of the pact, LG will deliver innovative chillers designed specifically for AIR's data center projects. The company's Air-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller for AI data centers utilizes refrigerant-free cooling technology, which cools air using outdoor air to lower the cooling demand on compressors.
According to internal simulations conducted by LG, refrigerant-free cooling can decrease energy consumption by approximately 30% annually compared to traditional water-based free cooling methods. LG emphasized that the agreement underscores their commitment to advancing sustainable cooling solutions for the growing AI data center industry.
