Daikin Data Centre Cooling Solutions
Daikin develops cooling technologies for data centres, delivering thermal management solutions that help operators maintain reliable environmental conditions while improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs. Its portfolio supports facilities ranging from enterprise server rooms to hyperscale data centres with systems designed for continuous operation and high availability.
The company’s data centre offering includes air-cooled and free cooling chillers, Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units, intelligent cooling controls and cloud-based monitoring services. These solutions are engineered to provide precise temperature and humidity control, helping operators protect critical IT equipment while supporting operational resilience. Daikin systems also integrate with Building Management Systems (BMS) through protocols including BACnet, Modbus, KNX and LonWorks, enabling centralised monitoring and control of cooling infrastructure.
For larger facilities, Daikin offers dedicated cooling platforms incorporating inverter-driven screw compressors, free cooling technology and intelligent sequencing to optimise performance under varying load conditions. The company’s Intelligent Data Centre Manager (iDCM) platform uses integrated controls and machine learning algorithms to manage multiple chillers, helping improve energy efficiency, reduce PUE and optimise plant operation while maintaining cooling resilience.
Daikin’s CRAH units are designed for medium, large and hyperscale data centres, with modular configurations that support raised floor and hard floor deployments. Features including EC fan technology, pressure-independent control valves, active harmonic filters and advanced control strategies help improve airflow management, operational efficiency and equipment reliability. The company also offers free cooling chiller technology capable of reducing compressor operation during favourable ambient conditions, lowering energy consumption and operating costs.
Supporting its equipment portfolio, Daikin provides remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, equipment servicing and temporary rental cooling solutions for planned maintenance, facility expansion and contingency planning. Its Daikin on Site cloud platform delivers 24/7 monitoring, energy analysis and predictive maintenance to help operators maximise cooling system availability and performance throughout the lifecycle of their infrastructure.
