Carrier is set to introduce its QuantumLeap thermal management system at Data Centre World Asia, taking place on October 8 and 9. This event represents the largest data center trade exhibition in the region, where Carrier will present a complete range of purpose-built cooling technologies designed specifically for data center environments.
As part of Carrier Global Corporation, a recognized leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, the company is responding to Asia’s unprecedented expansion in data infrastructure. The region attracted a remarkable $20 billion in cross-border data center investments during 2024, largely driven by artificial intelligence growth. Industry forecasts indicate the Asian data center cooling market could reach $7.3 billion by 2031.
Arun Bhatia, Executive Managing Director for Southeast Asia at Carrier, emphasized the region’s pivotal role in the global data revolution. He explained that QuantumLeap merges sophisticated liquid and air cooling methods with smart controls and predictive service capabilities into a single unified platform. This integrated approach provides data center operators with the resilience, efficiency, and scalability required to support AI applications, hyperscale computing, and sustainability objectives from the processor level through to the facility’s cooling infrastructure.
The QuantumLeap platform oversees the complete thermal lifecycle within data centers. Through intelligent cooling adjustments, digital controls, and predictive monitoring, the system enables real-time optimization and energy conservation across operations. This system-wide strategy ensures maximum performance even under the most challenging conditions.
A notable highlight is the Asian debut of Carrier’s liquid cooling technology, which offers superior performance, energy savings, higher rack density, and improved sustainability compared to traditional air-based cooling methods.
Key components of the QuantumLeap portfolio include:
Chillers and Air Handling Solutions Engineered specifically for data centers, these chillers incorporate built-in pumps, quick capacity recovery, low harmonic variable frequency drives, and eco-friendly refrigerants with a global warming potential near one.
Liquid Cooling Technology A coolant distribution unit supports direct-to-chip liquid cooling, making it ideal for high-density AI server racks.
Predictive Maintenance Services Carrier’s Abound™ digital platform helps reduce downtime while boosting operational performance across the data center environment.
Infrastructure Management and Controls Solutions from Nlyte and Automated Logic enable efficient oversight of data centers and their connected ecosystems.
Attendees can learn more about these innovations by visiting Carrier at booth G30 during Data Centre World Asia.
