Daikin Applied Unveils High-Performance Innovations

02/02/2026

Daikin Applied introduced new solutions engineered to provide energy efficiency, ensure reliability and advance sustainability across mission-critical applications.

The Magnitude® WME-C Quad Chiller features magnetic-bearing technology and an industry-leading capacity range of 2,000 to 3,000 tons. This chiller is designed for high-density, always-on environments. It incorporates ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and advanced recovery technologies, including RapidRestore® and RideThrough®, which help ensure seamless operation during power disruptions.

The Pathfinder® AWV-C Fan Deck features low-GWP R‑515B refrigerant and a compressor‑integrated variable frequency drive for strong high‑ambient performance, supported by an enhanced 28‑fan deck for greater cooling capacity and optimized airflow.

The AWM Chiller delivers premium efficiency in a fully-packaged, air‑cooled chiller engineered with oil‑free magnetic‑bearing refrigerant compressors. Its advanced compressor design, paired with next‑generation fan technology, provides high‑performance cooling even in extreme conditions, operating in environments up to 131°F (55°C).

These innovations build on Daikin Applied's $163 million investment in a state-of-the-art R&D test lab at its Plymouth, MN, headquarters. The facility is designed to accelerate development of advanced cooling technologies and next-generation airside solutions. Together, with strategic acquisitions in liquid cooling and custom air-handling, Daikin Applied is positioned to help solve the industry's toughest cooling challenges and meet the evolving demands of AI-driven operations.

"Cooling demands are growing increasingly complex," said Yu Nishiwaki, Chief Operating Officer, Daikin Applied. "Operators need solutions that deliver reliability, scalability and efficiency without compromise. These launches reflect our commitment to equipping customers with technologies that perform under the most demanding conditions, both now and as workloads evolve in the future."

The WME-C Quad Chiller and AWV-C are available to customers now, with the AWM Chiller following in early 2026.
