MINNEAPOLIS — Daikin Applied is designing precision environments for the world’s most advanced facilities — where reliability, scalability and asset protection are non-negotiable. Whether deploying Large Language Models, running AI inference workloads or scaling cloud infrastructure, Daikin Applied delivers intelligent, comprehensive cooling architectures and solutions tailored for the speed and complexity of next-gen digital eco-systems.
“Data centers have become the beating heart of the global economy, each presenting a distinct set of technical challenges that make cooling a critical and strategic priority,” said Chief Operating Officer for Daikin Applied Americas, Yu Nishiwaki. “Our goal regarding data centers at Daikin Applied is to continue to develop advanced, innovative cooling ecosystems that future-proof our customer’s investments.”
Product and Engineering Advancements
At the forefront of Daikin Applied’s expanded data center solutions is the Magnitude WME-C Quad Chiller, a large capacity chiller featuring magnetic-bearing technology. With a capacity range of 2,000 to 3,000 tons, ultra-low GWP refrigerants and advanced features like RapidRestore and RideThrough, the WME-C Quad is engineered for maximum uptime and efficiency in mission-critical facilities.
Joining the WME-C Quad in the future are the Pathfinder AWV-C fan deck and AWM Chiller, each offering advancements in cooling performance. The AWV-C enhances condenser airflow by 20% through its single-component design, while the AWM Chiller combines oil-free magnetic bearing technology and a next-gen fan deck for operation in high ambient temperatures up to 135F.
To support the approach to new product development for data centers, Daikin Applied is expanding its Test Lab located near its Minneapolis headquarters, growing testing capacity and capabilities for chillers and custom air handler solutions. The expansion will add 71,000 square feet and nine new test cells.
As part of its broader strategy to deliver comprehensive data center solutions, Daikin Applied is also acquiring innovative companies that add new capabilities to its data center solutions portfolio. The recent acquisition of DDC Solutions adds modular, ultra-high-density hybrid and in-room, rack-level solutions for white space cooling, enabling Daikin Applied to deliver a complete data center cooling solution.
Enhanced Manufacturing Capacity
To support its growing suite of products and solutions, Daikin Applied is set to increase its production capacity with the opening of two new manufacturing facilities.
