Daikin acquires direct-to-chip cooling company

USA: Daikin Applied Americas has acquired Chilldyne, a California-based manufacturer of negative pressure liquid cooling systems for high-performance and AI data centres. 

Daikin says that the acquisition complements its existing data centre solutions portfolio and bolsters its mission to deliver end-to-end cooling solutions. In August, Daikin Applied acquired San-Diego-based DDC Solutions, a developer of ultra-high-density data centre cooling cabinets and management software.

“By acquiring Chilldyne, Daikin Applied is poised to deliver a comprehensive suite of data centre cooling solutions that address the evolving needs of our customers and set a new standard for performance and uptime,” said chief operating officer Yu Nishiwaki. 

“Chilldyne’s negative pressure technology offers cost and uptime advantages over traditional positive pressure systems, positioning our business as a leader in the high-performance data centre cooling space.”

Founded in 2012 and based in Carlsbad, Chilldyne has been deploying liquid-cooled GPU clusters at scale since 2014. Its patented liquid cooling distribution unit eliminates the risk of downtime and server damage due to leaks, making the solution ideal for valuable GPU servers.
