THE COMPANY IS EXPANDING ITS FLEET TO MAKE GREENER COOLING PROVISIONS BOTH FOR PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND COOLING APPLICATIONS . and beverage , and mining sectors , the modular and scalable water-cooling solution provides advanced control capabilities to ensure optimal performance and efficiency .
Further enhancing the environmental credentials of its cooling solutions , Aggreko has also recently invested significantly in its portfolio of Greener Upgrades to efficiently and sustainably power the chillers . This includes incorporating Stage V generators , greener fuels and Battery Energy Storage Systems ( BESS ) to enhance efficiency and reduce fuel use and carbon footprint .
By investing in its Greener Upgrades , Aggreko is aiming to make efficient and clean technologies more accessible to customers , in addition to the skills and expertise required to correctly implement them – a fundamental part of the company ’ s sustainability framework , Energising Change . By providing turnkey cooling solutions , Aggreko can ensure that customers across Europe can prioritise resilience and uptime on-site while keeping operational costs under control and emissions to a minimum . � solutions to maintain critical operations , assist during emergency scenarios and support with increasing capacity .
Growing its expertise in HVAC , the company is expanding its fleet to make greener cooling provisions both for production processes and cooling applications . Complementing its existing range of industrial HVAC solutions and wider Greener Upgrades portfolio , Aggreko is introducing two new cooling product ranges .
Its new very low-temperature chiller , the VLTC550 , uses CO 2 ( R774 ) refrigerant with a global warming potential ( GWP ) equal to one , and provides stable and exceptionally efficient cooling . The containerised unit can achieve 220kW of cooling at – 40C in a condensed 10ft footprint .
As companies are under pressure to use low GWP refrigerants , Aggreko can help companies accelerate the transition with this new fleet . To further support the transition to more environmentally friendly refrigerants , the company is switching all screw chillers in its fleet to R513A , significantly reducing the GWP of Aggreko ’ s fleet of industrial chillers by almost 60 %.
For larger scale cooling requirements , Aggreko has also introduced a new range of water-cooled chillers which delivers 1.5MW of cooling and uses R513A refrigerant . Designed to meet the needs of data centres , manufacturing , petrochemicals , food
