What Huayi New Energy does

Huayi New Energy (华奕新能源股份有限公司) is a Chinese national high-tech and National Specialized 'Little Giant' enterprise founded in 2017 in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, specializing in indirect evaporative cooling (IEC) air conditioning and integrated data center cooling solutions. The company builds a vertically integrated product portfolio spanning cold-source equipment (vertical-tube indirect evaporative cooling chillers, integrated cold stations, indirect-direct AHUs), terminal cooling (row-level, cabinet-level, and room-level precision air conditioners, chilled-water and dual-cold-source wind walls), liquid cooling systems (cold plate, immersion, rack/cabinet CDUs, energy storage liquid cooling), and supporting digital platforms (Huayi Intelligent O&M System 2.0 and HNE-AI Energy Efficiency Global Optimization Algorithm Platform). Underlying proprietary technology centers on vertical-tube indirect evaporative heat exchangers that can produce chilled water 2-3°C below ambient wet-bulb temperature and enable PUE as low as 1.1 with up to 93.5% annual natural-cooling hours in favorable climates, validated by CRAA technical appraisal as reaching international advanced level.

The business model combines (i) hardware sales of proprietary evaporative cooling equipment, (ii) project-based delivery of end-to-end data center cooling systems (design, installation, commissioning, retrofit upgrades), and (iii) recurring managed services through its IoT- and AI-driven operations management software. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by strategic partnerships with major telecom design institutes (Zhongxun P&T Design Institute, Huaxin, China Mobile Design Institute), participation in telecom-operator tendering processes, and thought-leadership through national industry conferences and standards-setting bodies. Multi-year, custom-priced project contracts dominate revenue, with no standardized public pricing.

Customer base is anchored by China's Big-3 state-owned telecom operators — China Unicom, China Telecom, and China Mobile — across marquee projects such as the China Unicom Belt-and-Road Xinjiang Data Center, China Telecom Wenzhou Binhai Data Center (selected as National Green Data Center 2025, 34.89% energy savings), the Jiaxing Cloud Data Center (57.75% energy savings), and the China Mobile Yangtze River Delta Mashan Computing Center, with secondary diversification into semiconductor cleanrooms, pharmaceutical industrial parks, and government compute hubs (Xiong'an Urban Computing Center). With 400+ employees (100+ technical staff, 20+ senior), 70+ patents, four production bases in formation across Xinjiang, Shaanxi (Xi'an R&D), Jiangsu (Yizheng), and Jiangxi (Ganzhou, RMB 550M planned), and a 2023 conversion to joint-stock company structure with nine institutional investors, the company is positioning for a national-scale listing trajectory aligned with China's 'East Data West Computing' strategy and tightening national PUE mandates (1.25-1.4).
