Daikin Applied Americas and Daikin Comfort Technologies, part of the global air-conditioning company Daikin Industries, will showcase their newest technologies at the 2026 AHR Expo. These innovations are designed to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in both critical industrial systems and residential applications.
At Booth C5716, Daikin will focus on solving some of the biggest HVAC challenges in America. This includes solutions for data centers, healthcare facilities, schools, homes, and multi-family buildings. Daikin aims to meet the growing needs of modern buildings, especially as technology and climate control requirements become more complex.
Daikin Applied’s Next-Generation Solutions for Critical Environments
As data centers grow due to AI and cloud computing, there’s a rising need for HVAC systems that can handle large, constantly operating environments. Daikin Applied will introduce two new products made for high-performance, mission-critical use:
- Magnitude® WME-C Quad Chiller: This chiller uses magnetic-bearing technology and can handle capacities from 2,000 to 3,000 tons, making it perfect for data centers. It uses refrigerants with very low global warming potential (GWP) and features advanced recovery technologies that keep things running smoothly during power outages.
- Pathfinder® AWV-C Fan Deck and AWM Chiller: The Pathfinder AWV-C uses a low-GWP refrigerant and has a variable frequency drive for high performance in hot conditions. The AWM chiller is made for maximum efficiency with oil-free compressors and advanced fan technology to cool even the most extreme environments, like data centers, in temperatures up to 131°F.
These products are made with support from Daikin Applied’s $163 million investment in a new research lab in Plymouth, Minnesota, focused on advancing cooling technologies for data centers as well as airside systems. Daikin is also expanding its capabilities through acquisitions in liquid cooling and custom air-handling, aiming to address the toughest challenges in cooling and meet the demands of modern technology.
