Garrett Motion (GTX) announced that Multistack selected its oil-free centrifugal compressor technology for next-generation data center cooling platforms in Asia-Pacific.

The technology will be integrated into Multistack’s direct expansion computer room air conditioning systems, with production planned for the second half of 2027. The compressor combines high-speed centrifugal compression with oil-free air foil bearings. Garrett says the technology reduces maintenance requirements and supports next-generation refrigerants with low global warming potential.

Key Terms

air foil bearing, low-gwp
2 terms
air foil bearing technical
"oil-free air foil bearing technology"
A foil bearing is a type of gas-lubricated bearing that uses a thin, flexible metal or composite sleeve (the foil) around a rotating shaft; as the shaft spins a thin layer of air or gas is dragged into the gap and forms a supporting pressure film that carries the shaft without metal-to-metal contact. At low speeds the shaft may touch the foil and so foil bearings typically require auxiliary or touchdown bearings for start-up and shutdown; they are used where oil lubrication is undesirable and in high-speed, high-temperature, or clean environments.
low-gwp technical
"next-generation low-GWP refrigerants"
Low-GWP means a product, chemical or technology that produces far less warming effect on the atmosphere compared with traditional alternatives, where GWP stands for global warming potential. Investors care because regulators and buyers are increasingly favoring lower-emission options, which can create new markets, reduce regulatory risk and affect costs and long-term demand—think of it like choosing a cleaner, more efficient fuel that becomes required or preferred over time.

Enabling Multistack’s next-generation CRAC-DX (direct expansion computer room air conditioning) cooling platforms in Asia-Pacific

PLYMOUTH, MI. and ROLLE, Switzerland, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Garrett Motion Inc. (Nasdaq: GTX), a global leader in differentiated turbocharging and electrification technologies for automotive and industrial applications, today announced that Multistack has selected Garrett's oil-free centrifugal compressor technology for its next-generation data center cooling platforms in Asia-Pacific.

The award marks another step in Garrett's expansion into industrial thermal management. Garrett's technology will be integrated into Multistack's next-generation CRAC-DX (direct expansion computer room air conditioning) for data centers, with start of production planned for the second half of 2027. Multistack is a recognized provider of modular chiller and cooling solutions for commercial, industrial and data center applications.

"As AI and digital infrastructure grow, the need for efficient and reliable cooling is becoming increasingly critical," said Olivier Rabiller, President and CEO of Garrett Motion. "Our high-speed, oil-free centrifugal compressor technology helps deliver greater energy efficiency, reliability and system performance. Together with Multistack, we look forward to advancing the next generation of sustainable cooling solutions."

Engineered for industrial HVAC and cooling applications, Garrett's oil-free centrifugal compressor combines high-speed centrifugal compression and oil-free air foil bearing technology to deliver high efficiency and reliability while reducing maintenance requirements. Operating at more than 90,000 RPM, the compressor supports the adoption of next-generation low-GWP refrigerants. Its compact design is more than 50% smaller and 80% lighter than conventional solutions, helping lower total cost of ownership while delivering sustainability benefits.
