as particularly fruitful for integrating advanced power distribution, thermal management, and liquid cooling technologies that improve performance and energy efficiency.
“ Our long-standing alliance with Climaveneta, a leader in thermal management and energy efficiency, has become a model of industrywide collaborative innovation,” he says.“ It supplied hundreds of indirect evaporative cooling units to our Huailai Data Centre Campus in Hebei, helping us adapt to the region’ s unique climate while dramatically improving overall energy efficiency.
“ This early success laid the foundation for deeper technical collaboration,” adds Mr Wu.“ At our Lingqiu Campus in Shanxi, the two teams jointly developed the cooling system, a hybrid solution that integrates liquid cold-plate cooling with magnetic levitation phase-change air cooling system. This set a new benchmark for hyperscale AI-ready data centres in China, reduced operational costs and demonstrated sustainability commitments can be translated directly into competitive advantage.”
Building for the future Looking ahead, Mr Wu envisages a future where hyperscale data centres excel in three core areas: energy self sufficiency to enable off-grid powered data centres; highly flexible and modular deployment capabilities, where all components are assemblable and reusables; and providing smarter infrastructure that embeds AI across the entire operational lifecycle.
Chindata Group’ s transformation commits it to leading in all three areas, while supporting China’ s AI-powered evolution and the further establishment of the Eastern Data, Western Computing initiative.
