COMPANY & DATA CENTER BRIEF
Company and Main Business Activities
LG Electronics HVACThe company type listed in the public information is Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Size classifications are Major domestic companiesAt AI-DC KOREA, Cooling and Mechanical Classified as a candidate project; the disclosed primary scope is Chillers, HVAC, Cooling Control, and AI Data Center CoolingThat is.
LG Group's official releases confirm cooling-technology cooperation for a Paju AI data center, an oil-free air-cooled centrifugal chiller for AIDC, DSX Ready approval for a 2.5 MW-class CDU and NVIDIA NPN Preferred Partner status in Power and Cooling. On October 1, 2026, LG announced about KRW 150 billion of combined investment in a Virginia chiller plant and expansion and modernization of production lines in Pyeongtaek and Changwon. On October 6, it announced a definitive long-term chiller supply agreement with AIR Control Concepts supporting an AIDC portfolio exceeding 5 GW in aggregate across the United States and Canada. Therefore, in the data center business, 중앙 냉수시스템, 공조·제어, 국내 유지보수, 용수 제약 사업지의 공랭식 AIDC 냉각 검토, 엔비디아 AI 팩토리 냉각 아키텍처 검토 This may be considered a priority candidate for review. However, ‘Check Domestic DC PerformanceThe ‘ ’ symbol indicates the scope of the disclosure basis and does not represent a guaranteed contract award or an absolute ranking.

BEFORE APPOINTMENT
Verify Before Placing an Order
- 5 GW is the aggregate supported scale of multiple North American data center projects, not rated chiller cooling capacity, utility intake, IT load or UPS capacity at one center
- Value, firm term, project sites, end customers, product quantities and individual delivery schedules of the long-term agreement are undisclosed
- Expanded CDU supply is under discussion and is not confirmed as a current contract item
- More than KRW 600 billion in first-half AIDC cooling orders is company-wide performance, not the value of this contract
- KRW 150 billion is the combined U.S.-plant and Korean-line expansion and upgrade investment, not a site contract value or MW capacity
- U.S. production in H1 2027 and Korean line expansion by end-2026 are targets, not completion or mass-production records
- For claims of NPLV of 20% or higher, annual power savings of approximately 30%, and recovery within 180 seconds, verify the manufacturer’s comparison criteria and warranty coverage.
- Distinction Between UPS Capacity in Products and Data Center Facilities
- NPN partner registration and DSX Ready approval should not be broadly interpreted to include supply contracts, deliveries, or operational performance at individual project sites.
- Verify on-site design temperature, partial load, noise levels, refrigerant regulations, and piping interfaces.
- Do not extrapolate product performance to the center’s PUE or current operational performance.
