LG Electronics Expands into AI Data Center Infrastructure with Advanced Cooling Solutions

Expands into AI Data Center Infrastructure

South Korea: LG Electronics announced its strategic expansion into the artificial intelligence data center infrastructure market, introducing a suite of advanced cooling and energy solutions while positioning its HVAC segment as a key business-to-business growth driver. The company showcased its latest portfolio at the Data Center World 2026 in Washington, where global firms addressed increasing infrastructure and energy efficiency demands driven by AI. Central to LG’s strategy is liquid cooling technology, including an upgraded coolant distribution unit with a direct-to-chip design that enables coolant to flow directly over processors for efficient heat dissipation. The new system offers a capacity of 1.4 megawatts, more than doubling previous capabilities, and integrates inverter-based pumps and virtual sensor technology to optimize energy use and ensure stable performance in high-density computing environments.

The company is also advancing into immersion cooling through partnerships with Green Revolution Cooling and SK Enmove, where servers are submerged in nonconductive fluid for improved thermal management. Alongside liquid solutions, LG expanded its air cooling portfolio with energy-efficient chillers using in-house components such as compressors and air handling units, supported by a management platform offering real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. In collaboration with PADO, LG introduced an energy management platform to optimize power distribution across systems. Additionally, the company is developing a direct current grid solution with LG Energy Solution, LS Electric, and LS Cable & System to reduce power conversion losses from around 25 percent to about 15 percent, reinforcing its focus on delivering end-to-end solutions spanning thermal management and energy control.
