Tecogen Inc. Posts Regulation FD Disclosure on Data Center Cooling Tech
What Happened
On January 6, 2026, Tecogen Inc. (TGEN) posted a Regulation FD disclosure on LinkedIn and on its investor presentations page (www.Tecogen.com) titled “Frequently Asked Questions - The Future of Data Center Cooling.” The document explains why Tecogen’s natural gas chillers and patented Hybrid Drive technology remain relevant as data center cooling designs evolve, cites a recent comment by NVIDIA’s CEO, and describes specific use cases such as data-hall chillers, turbine inlet cooling, and powering large cooling fans.
Key Details
- Posting date: January 6, 2026; 8-K filing date: January 7, 2026.
- Tecogen states turbine inlet cooling can increase on-site gas power plant output by 15%–25%.
- Data-hall chilled water temperatures cited: commonly 12–15°C (55–60°F); many design loops target 18–25°C (65–78°F); some chips can run at >40°C (105°F).
- Example scale: a 250 MW data center could still need 50–75 chillers for data-hall and turbine inlet cooling, or 100+ Hybrid Drive power packages to run cooling fans in a chiller-free design (per Tecogen’s FAQ).
Why It Matters
This Regulation FD disclosure publicly positions Tecogen’s products as applicable across multiple data center cooling scenarios—traditional chillers, turbine inlet cooling for on-site power plants, and chiller-free fan-driven designs—using figures and use cases that highlight where the company believes its technology can be deployed. For investors, the filing signals the company is marketing its solutions to a high-growth, power-constrained segment (data centers) and quantifies potential equipment needs for large facilities using Tecogen’s cited examples.
