Hitachi HVAC Solutions Bring Sustainability to Southeast Asia’s Data Centre Boom

  • Latest chillers set new benchmark for efficiency and reliability while powering regional growth
  • New chillers minimise downtime with ability to restart in just 35 seconds
  • Low-GWP refrigerants and auto-adjusted cooling maximise efficiency and sustainability

SINGAPORE, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Hitachi Cooling & Heating[1] brand by the Bosch Home Comfort Group today announced its new state-of-the-art chiller solutions for large-capacity data centres — the S Series, VG Series and VM Series. As Southeast Asia’s data centre expansion continues to accelerate, these centrifugal chillers set a new standard for reliability, energy efficiency, power usage effectiveness (PUE) and overall sustainability.

The new chillers[2] stand out for the ability to restart in just 35 seconds after a power failure, ensuring continuous operation. The company’s Direct Drive Inverter Technology auto-adjusts cooling based on demand and seasonal temperatures, delivering optimal performance, improved energy efficiency, and lower operating costs. The chillers also use low-GWP refrigerants — such as R513A, R1233zd and R1234ze — to support sustainable cooling. Anti-surge technology further enhances reliability across applications.

Mr. Tan Kok Choon, Southeast Asia Sales General Manager for Hitachi Cooling & Heating, remarked: “As Southeast Asia emerges as a global data centre hub, we’ve received inquiries regarding limited water and electricity resources in the region. In response, our high-efficiency chillers feature advanced compressors and heat exchangers to reduce energy consumption. For water conservation, especially in coastal areas, we offer condenser options — such as copper-nickel, titanium, and stainless-steel tubes — that enable seawater cooling. This minimises freshwater use and avoids reliance on less efficient air-cooled systems, lowering overall electricity consumption.”

Maximizing efficiency in Southeast Asia’s rapid data centre development

The data centre market in Southeast Asia is experiencing unprecedented growth. The US-ASEAN Business Council projects demand to rise at a 20% CAGR by 2028, while the ASEAN Climate Change and Energy Project estimates the market will reach USD 11.80 billion by 2030. This surge highlights the urgent need for energy efficiency, with chillers playing a key role in maintaining optimal temperatures and cooling performance.

New state-of-the-art HVAC solutions for data centre sustainability

Hitachi S, VG and VM Series chillers offer efficient cooling of up to 13.8 ACCOP. Patented technology improves motor and compressor efficiency, while low-GWP refrigerants further reduce environmental impact.

S Series chillers, featuring a single compressor up to 3,500RT, integrate two-stage compressors and Variable Frequency Drive technology for enhanced cooling precision and energy efficiency.

VG Series uses a high-speed motor with a direct two-stage impeller drive that improves efficiency by 1.5% for motors and 4% for compressors. Built for 24/7 reliability, it restarts automatically within a minute after up to five voltage drops, making it ideal as a cooling solution for mission-critical data centres.

VM Series features an oil-free design with magnetic levitation bearings, offering high efficiency through reduced friction, enhanced reliability by eliminating oil-related failures, and lower maintenance requirements due to minimal component wear.

Precision cooling with VRF Systems

To address specific needs like humidity control in server rooms and enhanced comfort in office spaces, Hitachi VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) Systems offer simplified maintenance and seamless integration, complementing traditional chillers. These deliver precise temperature control, superior energy efficiency via SmoothDrive®, and flexible indoor unit configurations to suit diverse office and infrastructure cooling requirements.

Case studies: Reliable HVAC solutions for critical data centre needs

A top US cloud provider expanding in Hong Kong chose Hitachi VG Series chillers due to their energy efficiency and 24/7 operational reliability, particularly the rapid auto-restart feature. In Indonesia, a leading Japanese technology provider adopted the Top Flow VRF air365 Max series because of its fast restart, delivering precise control and seamless integration for compact data centres.

Professor Chan Heum Park’s Team at Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Sends Their Self-Developed “BioCabinet” to Space Aboard Nuri Rocket

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Chan Hum Park, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Otolaryngology at Hallym University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital and Director of the Nano-Bio Regenerative Medical Institute at Hallym University, leads the research team whose space biology payload, BioCabinet, will launch aboard the Nuri rocket’s fourth flight on November 27, as part of the mission carrying the Next-Generation Medium Satellite-3.

Professor Park and his research team pose for a group photo in front of the BioCabinet alongside the Kairospace Co., Ltd. engineering team, which designed and built the electronic systems for the payload.
Professor Park and his research team pose for a group photo in front of the BioCabinet alongside the Kairospace Co., Ltd. engineering team, which designed and built the electronic systems for the payload.

BioCabinet is a research platform with a bio 3D printer and stem cell differentiation incubator. Designed to fabricate artificial heart tissue and evaluate disease responses in space, it will operate for 60 days, extendable up to one year.

BioCabinet to 3D-Print Heart Tissue in Space

The payload has two modules: the first observes beating and contraction of cardiac tissue 3D-printed from induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes; the second evaluates blood vessel differentiation using tonsil-derived stem cells, ideal for terrestrial and space studies.

BioCabinet is expected to generate core data for organ fabrication and cardiovascular research in space, marking South Korea’s first acquisition of biological tissue data under environmental variables such as pressure, temperature, and radiation.

Beyond Terrestrial Limits, Seeking Answers in Space

Space research overcomes Earth-bound limits, where gravity hinders 3D tissue formation. In microgravity, cells grow naturally into 3D structures, and drug crystallization improves, enabling high-purity anticancer compound production. Artificial heart-beating data from this study will aid cardiovascular drug development.

From BioCabinet to BioRexs, to BioLiv… The Challenge Continues

Professor Park is expanding space bioengineering research based on the BioCabinet platform. He is developing BioRexs, a drug-screening platform slated for launch in 2027 to culture glioblastoma in space and evaluate anticancer drug efficacy. In parallel, he is leading the BioLiv project, which aims to 3D-print and culture artificial liver tissue in space and return it to Earth for transplantation. This is expected to become the world’s first non-clinical study using a space-fabricated artificial organ.

In addition, follow-up space bioengineering projects such as BioFactory, BioDeep, BioLunar, and BioMars are also underway.

Professor Park emphasized the importance of national investment, stating, “Conducting research in outer space is not about pursuing short-term profit—it is about creating technologies that shape the future.” This mission represents Korea’s first step into space-based bioengineering, establishing the nation’s foundation for biological tissue 3D printing research and verifying stem cell survival and cardiac tissue formation in the space environment.

DISCUSSION ON NON-GAAP MEASURES       

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation, non-cash settlement expenses or reversal and net of tax impact, if any. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

When evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the periods presented, management reviewed the foregoing non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders and per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to Noah shareholders to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company’s management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management.

As the globe shifts toward green mobility, the electrification of water transportation has become an irreversible trend. A single speedboat can emit 15 to 20 times more pollutants than a bus of comparable length, making it one of the most polluting modes of public transportation. Historically, electric outboards have been limited to small and medium-power ranges due to constraints in power density and lightweight engineering, leaving the high-performance segment underserved.

ExploMar was thus created in 2021 to focus on the R&D and application of medium- to high-power electric propulsion systems and integrated energy solutions. Over past year, ExploMar has achieved great progress in its commercialization: delivered its systems to clients across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, and established a distribution network in over 20 countries and regions, including China, Norway, Italy, Nigeria, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.

With a disruptive design philosophy, ExploMar has developed the WAVE series of high-performance electric outboard systems — including the WAVE 300, WAVE 150+, and WAVE 70+ — along with the 5S Energy Station, an integrated solar-storage-fast-charging solution. Combining high performance, low maintenance, intelligent control, and sustainability, these systems offer efficient, zero-emission propulsion for a broad range of marine applications, backed by over 100 patents. The flagship WAVE 300 stands as an industry benchmark with its lightweight design and exceptional torque: a 25-inch shaft model weighs only 218 kg and delivers 655 N•m of maximum torque.

Throughout product development, ExploMar maintains a test-driven innovation approach. The company has established a systematic testing framework and built multiple electric prototype vessels — including RIBs, bass boats, and patrol boats — to validate system performance across various operating conditions. Through extensive real-world trials and extreme-environment testing, ExploMar continuously enhances the stability and reliability of its systems, ensuring each product performs optimally in actual marine environments. In 2025, the company’s WAVE 300 system has empowered a client’s carbon RIB boat competing in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, where it achieved outstanding results — further proving ExploMar’s technological leadership and product readiness in high-performance electric marine propulsion.

As global carbon-neutral initiatives accelerate and clean-energy technologies advance, the electrification of waterborne mobility stands at a historic turning point. ExploMar is committed to driving this transformation through continuous innovation and global collaboration — building a high-performance, intelligent, and zero-emission water mobility ecosystem for a sustainable blue future.

o9 Solutions Files Trade Secret Misappropriation Complaint Against SAP and Former o9 Executives in U.S. District Court

o9 Solutions Is Committed to Protecting its Valuable Intellectual Property Against Illegal Theft and Copying

DALLAS, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — o9 Solutions, Inc. (“o9” or the “Company”) announced today that it has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against SAP SE of Baden-Württemberg, Germany and SAP America, Inc. (NYSE: SAP; FWB: SAP; FWB: SAPA) (“SAP”). The complaint asserts that SAP utilizes stolen o9 trade secrets and confidential documents, including for its Integrated Business Planning supply chain management software and services, as well as its related commercialization and sales activities.

International corporate espionage and technology theft are major threats to American technology investments and innovation. o9 believes that SAP is intentionally misappropriating its trade secrets and sensitive business information, enabling SAP to compete unfairly by bypassing investment in innovation. o9 outlines in its complaint how SAP’s behavior was assisted by at least three former o9 executives who were entrusted with access to o9’s trade secrets but conspired with SAP while still working at o9. The lawsuit alleges that these executives downloaded tens of thousands of files before resigning from o9 to join SAP, where they now hold key roles in executing SAP’s strategy to unfairly compete against o9 by using misappropriated o9 Solutions’ technologies and business information.

Chakri Gottemukkala, Co-Founder and CEO of o9, said: “o9 created its market-leading platform for AI-enabled enterprise planning and execution through extensive investments in research and development. We are proud of the innovations of the o9 Digital Brain platform powered by its Enterprise Knowledge Graph technology, and the value that it is driving in the marketplace. Blatant copying and misappropriation of proprietary intellectual property create an unfair playing field.”

Mr. Gottemukkala continued: “o9 believes that the evidence of SAP’s coordinated attack on o9 is clear and compelling. We will vigorously protect o9’s valuable intellectual property and confidential business knowledge while continuing to develop industry-changing technologies that benefit our customers across many industries worldwide.”

In its complaint, o9 alleges that in the period leading up to their resignations, through a series of serious misrepresentations, these three former o9 executives accessed and downloaded over 20,000 highly confidential files related to o9’s technologies, including confidential architecture and technical design, marketing, sales, business roadmap, and other types of confidential and trade secret materials. The complaint alleges that contemporaneously with these acts, with the benefit of o9’s confidential business knowledge, SAP began marketing and selling technologies and services that contained innovations invented, designed, developed, and deployed by o9.

o9 is seeking to stop SAP from possessing, accessing, and using o9’s trade secrets and confidential files. o9 will also pursue monetary damages. The complaint can be accessed at https://o9solutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-11-25-o9-Complaint.pdf.

o9 Solutions is represented by Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
