Google in talks with China's Envicool, others to buy data centre cooling systems, sources say

Google's procurement team visited China and is in talks with Envicool and other Chinese firms to buy liquid cooling equipment for its data centers. The discussions indicate potential sourcing of specialized cooling infrastructure from Chinese vendors but no contract sizes, timelines or commitments were disclosed. Near-term market impact should be limited, although selected suppliers could see modest revenue upside if deals are signed and this may influence hyperscaler supply‑chain sourcing decisions.
