Driving Efficiency in Data Centres

With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, the demand for data centres is growing at an unprecedented rate. However, these facilities are among the most energy-intensive, making it essential to optimise efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and lower operational costs.

Daikin is committed to tackling these energy challenges, leveraging over a century of expertise in HVAC technology to deliver sustainable and energy-efficient cooling solutions for data centres.

New Product Launch: Pro-C CRAH

As part of its commitment to expanding its solutions portfolio, Daikin will introduce the new Pro-C CRAH unit at DCW, with a full-scale model on display at the stand.

Designed for precise temperature control in white spaces, the Pro-C CRAH is available in capacities ranging from 30 to 250 kW. Its versatile design makes it suitable for all types of data centres, with complex and raised floor configurations available.

Additionally, it features an extensive selection of accessories for enhanced performance and reliability. Harnessing Waste Heat with Advanced Heat Recovery

One key highlight of Daikin’s showcase at DCW 2025 will be its cutting-edge heat recovery solutions.

Presentation Details:

• Date: 12 March 2025

• Time: 5 p.m.

• Location: Energy Efficiency Theatre

A dedicated presentation will provide an in-depth look at how these technologies can significantly reduce energy consumption in data centres. Attendees will also have the chance to meet with Daikin specialists and gain expert insights.

A Data Centre Cooling Portfolio

Daikin offers many high-performance cooling solutions explicitly tailored for energy-intensive data centres.

Key Solutions Include:

• Intelligent Data Centre Manager (iDCM): An advanced control system that uses AI-driven plant management to optimise performance and reliability over time. It continuously monitors and adjusts multiple chiller units to maintain peak efficiency.

• Air-Cooled Free Cooling Chillers: Designed to utilise low ambient air temperatures to minimise mechanical cooling needs, these chillers reduce energy consumption and extend equipment lifespan.

• Range covers capacities from 183 to 2,154 kW.

• Glycol-free options available.

• Daikin’s proprietary VFD screw compressors enhance part-load efficiency.

• Refrigerant-cooled VFD technology ensures stable operation in all conditions.

• Pro-W Fan Array Units:

• Scalable and flexible cooling units, available in four sizes, ranging from 175 to 700 kW.

• Suitable for data centres of various sizes, delivering exceptional efficiency and reliability.

Expertise in Large-Scale Projects – Cooling Norway’s Largest Data Centre

Managing large-scale data centre cooling projects requires specialist expertise and advanced engineering solutions. Daikin has successfully delivered complex projects, including a 105 MW cooling capacity system for a single data centre in Norway.

Case Study: OSL-Hamar, Norway (Green Mountain)

• Norway’s largest data centre, operated by Green Mountain.

• Three buildings, each with 30 MW of IT power.

• Powered entirely by renewable hydropower energy.

• Daikin supplied:

• 71 EWFH-TZ free cooling chillers.

• 330 Pro-W fan array units.

• 8 iDCM control systems to support its sustainable operations.

This project highlights Daikin’s ability to deliver large-scale, sustainable cooling solutions for mission-critical data centre operations.

A Global Leader with UK Expertise

As the world’s leading air-conditioning company, Daikin has a strong global presence, backed by dedicated manufacturing facilities.

Manufacturing Facilities Include:

• UK Factory (Cramlington, Northumberland): Specialises in air-side products, including the Pro-C CRAH and Pro-W fan array units.

• Three Italian Factories: Focus on producing chillers, heat pumps, Pro-C CRAH units, and Daikin’s proprietary VFD technology.

This global production network ensures that Daikin can deliver high-quality, energy-efficient solutions for data centres worldwide.
