• Hitachi subsidiary Hitachi Vantara announced a Duraflow thermal storage deployment at its Netherlands data center on Oct. 27, 2026.
• The system delivers 240 kW of cooling using 5-8 kW of electricity, versus an estimated 60-80 kW for conventional DX cooling.
• The technology can reduce thermal management electricity consumption by up to 90%, depending on application, with no water required for cooling.
• Lower cooling demand frees existing electrical capacity for AI computing, reducing constraints on growth where additional grid power is limited.
• The deployment supports Hitachi Vantara's goal of carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by fiscal 2030.
