Under the agreement, LG and Flex will jointly develop integrated modular cooling solutions to address the growing thermal management challenges of data centres in the AI era. Advanced cooling technologies are needed to dissipate heat more efficiently in high-density data centres.
The partnership combines LG’s high-efficiency air and liquid cooling modules, including CRAC, CRAH, chillers, coolant distribution units (CDUs) and a full suite of thermal management and monitoring solutions, with Flex’s liquid cooling portfolio, proprietary power products and IT infrastructure solutions.
This enables data centre operators to customise solutions and scale them in line with demand. LG is actively exploring a range of opportunities to expand its data centre business worldwide. In Jakarta, Indonesia, the company recently secured an AI data centre project set to become one of the largest of its kind in the country.
LG is also working with DATAVOLT, a global data centre infrastructure provider, on projects in the Middle East and Africa, and has secured a contract to supply cooling solutions for a hyperscale data centre under construction in North America. In addition, LG is working with LG Uplus, a telecommunications provider under LG Corp.
, to successfully complete a proof of concept demonstrating advanced liquid cooling technology for data centre thermal management solutions. The company is also developing next-generation CDU and cold plate solutions, with completion planned for later this year, followed by commercialisation.
