EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Global R&D. Cooling Solutions. New Product Development.

Focused on the development of industrial cooling solutions — including Air cooled chillers, coolers and Heat pump — with industrial automation and control engineering as a key part of the product development work.

Global R&D & New Product Development (NPD)

Collaborating with international R&D teams on new industrial chiller and cooling-product development, including air-cooled chiller systems. Engineering activities cover cooling-system performance, control strategies, energy efficiency and product optimization, with consideration of lower-GWP refrigerants such as R32 and reduced environmental impact.

Data Center & Liquid Cooling Systems

AI computing is driving higher cooling demands as GPU power and heat generation continue to increase. This creates new opportunities for efficient chiller, air-cooled and heat-pump technologies, along with advanced cooling and control solutions, to support the next generation of data-center infrastructure.

Environmental Green Protection & Efficiency

Developing cooling solutions with a focus on energy efficiency, reliable performance and reduced environmental impact. Exploring technologies such as high-efficiency chillers, heat pumps, variable-speed systems and lower-GWP refrigerants to support more sustainable cooling solutions.
