MagPro Launches AeroLev 1850 to Advance Water-Smart Cooling for AI Data Centers

MagPro, a joint venture between CIGU Technology Corp. Ltd. and EPG Data Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., today launched AeroLev 1850 at Data Centre World Asia (DCW Asia) 2026 in Singapore, unveiling a 1.85 MW-class, 45°C-ready air-cooled, magnetic-bearing chiller platform designed for next-generation AI data centres operating in high-ambient and water-constrained environments.

The launch comes as Malaysia continues to see rapid growth in data-centre and AI infrastructure investment, with resource efficiency becoming an increasingly important consideration for the sector.

As the country expands its digital infrastructure, the Government has also placed greater emphasis on ensuring that data-centre developments have sufficient energy and water resources. The Data Centre Task Force assesses applications based on factors including power, water and connectivity requirements, while Malaysia is developing clearer standards around energy, water and carbon efficiency.

Against this backdrop, AeroLev 1850 is designed to address one of the key infrastructure challenges facing high-density AI computing: how to manage increasing heat loads while reducing reliance on water-intensive cooling systems.

The platform combines a cooling-tower-free architecture, oil-free magnetic-levitation technology and intelligent controls to deliver efficient and reliable cooling while eliminating evaporative cooling water consumption.

At the heart of the platform is a dedicated air-cooled magnetic-levitation compressor with isentropic efficiency of up to 87%. A patented condenser delivers subcooling of more than 3°C, while the standard EC fans further improve energy performance. Together, these technologies deliver up to 40% higher overall energy efficiency and up to 8% lower failure rates compared with conventional oil-lubricated compressors, and up to 10% lower maintenance costs compared with conventional chillers. 

By eliminating evaporative cooling water, AeroLev 1850 is designed to reduce water dependency for data centres operating in environments where water availability and resource efficiency are increasingly important considerations.

The platform is also engineered for the shift toward direct-to-chip and immersion liquid cooling. AeroLev 1850 can supply chilled water at temperatures up to 45°C, supporting emerging high-temperature cooling architectures without requiring major infrastructure reinvestment.

Its standardized modular design supports rapid installation and flexible expansion as AI capacity grows.

Designed for Malaysia’s AI Infrastructure Growth

For Malaysia, where the rapid expansion of AI and data-centre infrastructure is accompanied by increasing attention on energy and water efficiency, technologies that can reduce resource dependency are becoming increasingly relevant to the country’s digital infrastructure development.

The Malaysian Government has stated that new data-centre projects will be assessed based on available energy and water supply capacity, while national and industry stakeholders are placing greater emphasis on sustainable resource management as the sector expands.

AeroLev 1850 is designed to support this evolving environment by enabling data-centre operators to manage increasing cooling requirements without relying on evaporative cooling water.

“As AI computing continues to drive higher heat density and more demanding cooling requirements, data-centre operators need cooling solutions that can deliver reliable performance while using resources more efficiently,” said William Wu, General Manager of Nanjing CIPU Technology Corp., Ltd. “AeroLev 1850 is designed to address these challenges by combining air-cooled magnetic-levitation technology with a water-efficient architecture, supporting the next generation of AI data-centre infrastructure.”

“MagPro marks an important step in our global cooling technology strategy,” said Alick Wan, Founder and Chairman of EPG Data Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. “By bringing together EPG’s engineering and delivery expertise with CIGU’s core magnetic-levitation technology, we are building more resilient, resource-efficient digital infrastructure that is less dependent on water availability. AeroLev 1850 reflects our commitment to advancing green data-centre infrastructure and a more sustainable digital ecosystem worldwide.”
