## Summary

lg electronics said its cumulative orders for AI data‑center cooling solutions exceeded krw 3 trillion (about us$2.5bn) in the latest quarter, roughly five times the krw 600bn level at mid‑year. The surge is driven by a 5 gw long‑term chiller supply agreement with north american platform air control concepts and a krw 220bn investment to add capacity, including a new 32,000 sqm production hub in virginia, us, and additional lines in pyeongtaek and changwon, south korea.

lg’s 600 kw, 1 mw and 2.6 mw coolant distribution units have earned nvidia qualification, with the 2.6 mw unit labelled dsx ready for nvidia’s ai factory platform. q3 consolidated revenue was krw 23.82tn with operating profit of krw 781.9bn. the article also notes kyon energy’s 137.5 mw/282 mwh battery storage project in lower saxony, germany, the largest of its kind, owned by totalenergies and backed by the scale fund.

## Key points

- lg electronics' AI cooling orders topped krw 3 trillion (~us$2.5bn), five times mid‑year level.
- 5 gw chiller supply deal with air control concepts and krw 220bn investment in a new us production hub.
- lg's 2.6 mw dsx coolant unit earned nvidia qualification for its AI factory platform.

## Why it matters

Cooling capacity is a bottleneck for large AI models; lg's orders and nvidia qualification signal rapid scaling of AI data‑center infrastructure.
