On 2026-07-27 LG secured NVIDIA AI Factory validation for its 600 kW Coolant Distribution Unit, passing more than 100 technical evaluation criteria covering cooling performance, reliability and failover, becoming one of a small group globally to clear that verification for this equipment class. The direct-to-chip unit delivers coolant to GPUs and CPUs for a hybrid cooling system, and can pair with LG's Data Centre Cooling Control Manager for predictive control and centralised monitoring. LG validates the whole chain at a dedicated Chip-to-Chiller site in Pyeongtaek. Commercial substance: LG has secured cooling projects for hyperscale facilities in North America and for the SM+ Data Center, an AI-ready facility in Jakarta, and intends to seek NVIDIA certification for 1 MW, 2.5 MW and 4 MW capacities. It also joined SK Enmove, GRC and Flex on liquid immersion cooling in October 2025, putting it on both the direct-to-chip and immersion sides. Commercial scores 2 because no data center cooling revenue is disclosed and the scoped row excludes group revenue.","assessed_in":{"domain":"AI Core","list":"AI Infra 100","rank":68,"score":88,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":10,"position":8,"progress":10,"firepower":10,"commercial":4,"deployment":10,"production":8,"technology":8},"why":"LG Electronics supplies data-center cooling, including coolant distribution units, liquid-immersion cooling and predictive cooling controls, for hyperscale and other data centers.","segment":"Cooling & thermal","layer":"Power, cooling & thermal"},"signals_total":102,"facts_total":24},{"name":"Schneider Electric","url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/schneider-electric","city":"Rueil-Malmaison","country":"France","stage":null,"founded":null,"last_round":null,"positioning":"The largest data-center power and cooling supplier by revenue worldwide (medium-voltage, UPS, racks, liquid cooling via Motivair, DC-wide software); the European anchor of the electrical layer.","assessed_in":{"domain":"AI Core","list":"AI Infra 100","rank":53,"score":90,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":8,"position":10,"progress":10,"firepower":10,"commercial":10,"deployment":10,"production":6,"technology":8},"why":"Schneider Electric sells 800 VDC data center cooling architecture for AI workloads to data center operators and infrastructure customers.","segment":"Cooling & thermal","layer":"Power, cooling & thermal"},"signals_total":45,"facts_total":11}],"note":"Assessment by Frontier Tech Intelligence; facts and signals carry their sources."}
