SEOUL, Nov. 5 (Korea Bizwire) — LG Electronics said Tuesday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with global infrastructure solutions provider Flex to jointly develop modular cooling systems designed to address the growing heat challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
Under the partnership, LG will combine its high-efficiency cooling technologies — including chillers, cooling distribution units (CDUs) and computer room air handlers (CRAHs) — with Flex’s IT and power infrastructure to create scalable, modular data center cooling solutions.
The new system will be built on a modular architecture that allows data centers to expand easily as demand grows. Pre-assembled and pre-tested cooling modules will be shipped and connected on-site, enabling rapid installation and flexible customization based on specific thermal management requirements.
The two companies said their collaboration aims to simplify data center construction and deliver a next-generation, energy-efficient cooling platform that supports the surge in AI-driven computing.
LG Electronics has been ramping up its presence in the data center cooling market, recently doubling the capacity of its cooling distribution units and adding liquid immersion cooling — the most power-efficient cooling method — to its portfolio.
“Together with LG Electronics, we will provide customers with the optimal cooling solutions to tackle the heat challenges of data centers,” said Michael Hartung, president and chief commercial officer of Flex.
Lee Jae-sung, executive vice president of LG’s Energy Solutions Business Division, said the partnership would “strengthen LG’s position in the AI data center market while delivering innovative, differentiated value to customers.”
