Low PUE chiller solution for the largest data center in Norway 

Click here to learn more about an important project in which Daikin supplied 71 free cooling chillers, 330 fan array units, and 8 control systems for Norway's largest data center, OSL-Hamar, owned by Green Mountain. The construction of OSL-Hamar included state-of-the-art infrastructure, with significant installed power and an average PUE of 1.2, setting a new industry standard. The facility currently consists of 3 main buildings, each including 30 MW of IT power, and runs exclusively on renewable energy from multiple hydropower plants.    

Sustainable data center cooling solutions in Germany 

A clear example of how Daikin promotes sustainability by reducing the environmental impact and operating costs of data centers is the project carried out in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. In this project, Daikin provided 140 CRAH units, enabling a data center colocator to collaborate with the city and reuse the data center's heat rejection to warm the entire city. This project demonstrates how data center applications can operate sustainably, creating positive synergies with the cities that host them. This cooperation between the data centre colocator and local authorities has resulted in a solution that benefits both the environment and the local economy. Additionally, we would like to remind you that Daikin Applied Germany is a partner of the German Datacenter Association (GDA), an association of operators and owners of data centers of all sizes. 

Pro-C CRAH unit for Data Center cooling  

The latest addition to the Daikin Data Center portfolio is the new Pro-C, recently unveiled at Data Centre World (DCW) 2025. This computer room air handler (CRAH) is designed to meet the cooling requirements of any data center configuration, offering an optimized design and advanced control strategies. With a cooling capacity ranging from 30 kW to 210 kW, its flexibility and modularity allow it to adapt perfectly to any data center layout and requirements. Efficiency is a key aspect, achieved through features such as optimized chilled water heat exchangers, the latest generation of EC fans, and the integration of pressure-independent control valves and active harmonic filters. Reliability is ensured by advanced control strategies and automatic transfer switches to prevent power failures.
