Sanhe Tongfei Refrigeration is a Chinese temperature-control specialist moving from industrial, energy-storage and machine-tool cooling into data-center liquid cooling. As AI racks pack accelerators far more densely than traditional servers, the heat they throw off exceeds what moving air can carry away — so coolant is piped directly to the chips. Tongfei makes the units that do this, placing it in the thermal plumbing of the AI factory.
Its structural hook is the shift from air to liquid. Dense GPU deployment makes liquid cooling less an upgrade than a requirement, and that turns cooling hardware from a facilities afterthought into a gating item for how much compute a site can host. Tongfei is one of several domestic entrants chasing that demand; the model places it as a real but replaceable supplier, well downstream of the silicon.
