Schneider Electric is participating in the 18th Korea International Heating, Air-Conditioning, Refrigeration and Fluid Exhibition (HARFKO 2026), which opened at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on October 21, to present controls for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment and power and cooling infrastructure for AI data centers. The event runs through October 23.
Inverter configurations for different HVAC equipment sizes
Schneider Electric is exhibiting its Altivar HVAC ATH series of dedicated HVAC inverters. Inverters regulate the speed of fan, pump and compressor motors. The company is presenting ways to manage energy use through speed control tailored to equipment operating conditions and integration with building management systems (BMS).
The ATH series comprises the ATH200, intended for applications including small HVAC equipment, and the ATH600, designed with continuous operation at commercial buildings, medical facilities and data centers in mind. The company said it designed this product range with the goal of reducing energy consumption by at least 30%.
AI data center power and cooling infrastructure also on display
For data centers, the company is presenting coolant distribution units (CDUs), precision cooling equipment, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and power distribution solutions. The lineup covers everything from HVAC equipment controls to the cooling and power supply needed to operate servers.
Schneider Electric also participated in the Cooling the Future Open Forum 2026, held at KINTEX at 2 p.m. on October 21. The forum discussed cooling technology and energy efficiency for AI data centers, heat pumps and environmentally friendly refrigerants.
Kwon Ji-woong, head of Schneider Electric Korea, said both HVAC and data centers require consideration of energy efficiency alongside reliable operation, and that the company would share approaches to energy management at industrial sites with customers at the exhibition.
