OData has officially deployed the DeltaFlow liquid cooling system at its SP04 data center in Brazil and its QR03 data center in Mexico. This infrastructure update, designed to accommodate high-density AI racks, represents part of a broader $630 million project.
Why it matters
As high-density AI hardware creates unprecedented thermal loads, liquid cooling systems are becoming essential to maintain operational efficiency. This deployment allows OData to supplement existing air-based cooling systems to manage the heat output of advanced computing clusters.
The $630 million project utilizes the DeltaFlow liquid cooling system, which was designed by Aligned Data Centers and Munters to provide a hybrid cooling approach. This setup functions alongside the existing Delta Cubed air cooling system to support high-density AI rack configurations.
The players
OData
A provider of data center infrastructure founded in 2015 that operates facilities across Latin America.
Aligned Data Centers
An infrastructure company specializing in adaptable data center design that acquired OData in 2023.
Munters
A manufacturer of climate control and energy-efficient cooling equipment that partnered on the DeltaFlow design.
The details
The DeltaFlow system enables a hybrid cooling architecture by combining traditional air-based cooling with liquid cooling circuits. This integration is designed to manage the significant thermal output generated by high-density AI racks, which exceed the cooling capacity of air-only setups. The equipment for these facilities is manufactured at the Munters factory located in Araucaria, Paraná state, Brazil.
Timeline
2015: OData was founded.
May 2023: Aligned Data Centers acquired OData.
September 21, 2026: Deployment of cooling systems was reported.
The Tech Race
The adoption of the DeltaFlow liquid cooling system marks a shift from relying solely on the Delta Cubed air cooling system for AI-focused infrastructure. By integrating liquid cooling, OData is moving to bridge the gap between conventional data center cooling and the extreme thermal requirements of next-generation AI hardware.
This rollout focuses on large-scale infrastructure and does not change individual user workflows or consumer-facing hardware. The update specifically impacts the operational reliability of AI workloads hosted within OData's Brazilian and Mexican data centers.
The takeaway
The move to hybrid liquid cooling confirms that standard air-cooling infrastructures are no longer sufficient for high-density AI compute requirements. Industry analysts should watch for updated PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) metrics from these sites to quantify the efficiency gains provided by the DeltaFlow system.
