Efficient District Cooling with Power.

A High-Performance Quantum P from ENGIE Refrigeration in use for the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT).

It is one of the largest research and teaching institutes in the world: The Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) was created in 2009 with the merger of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the Universität Karlsruhe. More than 9000 employees work here. For years the KIT Campus operating company has been a satisfied customer.

Efficient even in the future

At KIT there are already two ENGIE Refrigeration QUANTUM chillers cooling the campus data centre. The customer was highly satisfied with their performance, the excellent energy efficiency and the low costs for maintenance and decided to continue to back QUANTUM district cooling in the future. The energy requirement at the KIT campus has increased considerably over the past few years and the ageing ammonia chiller was no longer efficient. In 2014 it was therefore replaced by a QUANTUM P chiller with a refrigeration power of four megawatts (MW). The QUANTUM P has since been supplying multiple consumers with cooling power through a far-reaching ramified pipeline system from its position at the centre of the district cooling network.
