Midea Building Technologies Unveils Smart Solutions at AHR Expo 2026

Midea Building Technologies is making a significant entrance at the AHR Expo 2026, presenting an impressive suite of cutting-edge intelligent solutions for buildings, under the theme of 'Smart in One.' This year's exhibition shines a spotlight on the company's diverse portfolio of advanced technologies tailored to meet the evolving demands of key sectors, including data centers, industrial parks, and commercial buildings.

Innovative Cooling Solutions

Among the highlights featured at Midea's booth is the MagBoost Apex Pro, a centrifugal chiller with magnetic bearings that exemplifies significant advancements in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology. This chiller utilizes Midea's patented second-generation oil-free magnetic bearings, effectively eliminating mechanical friction while enhancing efficiency and operational reliability. With an impressive integrated part-load value (IPLV) as high as 9.71 when using refrigerant R1234ze(E), it guarantees exceptional performance. Further, the unit is designed for longevity with a projected lifespan of 30 years, operating at a sound level of just 70 dB(A) and featuring an IP67 enclosure rating.

The modular design allows up to 16 units to be combined seamlessly without additional controls while accommodating refrigerants R1234ze(E) and R513A, thereby significantly minimizing environmental impact.

Data Center Temperature Control Solutions

In response to the rapid advancements in AI computing and the deployment of high-density servers, Midea has developed comprehensive cooling control solutions for data centers. These include precise liquid cooling distribution units, high-performance fan walls, and efficient chillers. This robust infrastructure forms the backbone of ultra-efficient data centers, achieving energy efficiency values of up to 1.2. Midea’s solutions also feature multi-level redundancy and leakage prevention technologies, ensuring reliable cooling systems 24/7, facilitating innovation without compromise.

Intelligent Integration as a Core Principle

At the heart of Midea's offerings is the Midea iBUILDING, an integrated digital platform designed to empower intelligent building management. This award-winning platform allows for seamless connections between devices, data, and operational scenarios. Its intelligent gateway facilitates connections to a wide array of devices—ranging from VRF systems to heat pumps and chillers—through a single unit that supports multiple communication protocols. With native BACnet and Modbus integration, the platform ensures smooth compatibility with existing building management systems (BMS).

The platform includes two essential applications: iEasyComfort, which delivers operational transparency and energy monitoring for end users, and iEasyCare, which enables predictive maintenance through real-time fault detection and performance analysis, supporting service and maintenance teams. These tools foster proactive maintenance, energy optimization, and enhanced system reliability.

A Unified Response to Diverse Challenges

Midea's participation at AHR Expo transcends mere product showcasing; it embodies a comprehensive response to industry challenges. As stated by a spokesperson for Midea Building Technologies, "The concept of 'Smart in One' centers on delivering interconnected solutions that directly address vital concerns related to energy consumption, operational resilience, and management complexity in sectors such as data centers, transportation hubs, industrial parks, and commercial buildings." Through this integrated approach, Midea positions itself not just as a equipment supplier but as a partner in driving the construction industry towards a more sustainable and smarter future.
