QUANTUM chillers in operation: perfect cooling for the Elbphilharmonie

Industry:

Solution:

The final chord fills the Grand Hall, the audience of 2,100 applauds enthusiastically and then, filled with satisfaction, exits from the Elbphilharmonie. While the musicians give their excellent performance in full view, the building technology provides an equally remarkable performance in the shadows. And that is a good thing. The building’s cooling system at the Elbphilharmonie needs to be extraordinarily quiet, for example, so as to avoid interfering with concerts – and this cooling is provided by two QUANTUM chillers.

Whisper-quiet climate with QUANTUM chillers

The building is cooled by two QUANTUM chillers, each with a cooling capacity of around 2,100 kW. Situated in the basement, their noise level of 75 dB(A), measured from one metre away, is so quiet that interference with concerts is impossible. In spite of their huge performance, the two chillers develop no more noise than a single standard car at medium performance.
