We modernise your chiller
Is your refrigeration system outdated? We check your efficiency and return you to the state of the art – with our tried-and-tested retrofit, instrument and control procedures. Modernising your chiller can improve its technical condition and support measures aimed at reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, depending on the system configuration and operating conditions. The impact on operating costs should be assessed on a project-specific basis. This approach is aligned with our services supporting decarbonisation projects.
How energy-efficient is your chiller? We perform an exhaustive efficiency check on your system and advise you on potential savings. We get the maximum performance and efficiency from your refrigeration system through technical optimisation according to the latest performance and energy standards. This reduces the energy consumption of your refrigeration system over its operational lifetime – lowering both operating costs and the system's direct energy-related CO₂ emissions.
Your chiller is obsolete but cannot be replaced? Not a problem! With our retrofit procedure we will bring your system up to the standard of a QUANTUM – energy-efficient (SCOP/COP value per EN 14511 – see product data sheet) and powerful. In the process we will deploy modern QUANTUM turbo-core technologies for high refrigeration capacity, among others. The advantage: you receive innovative technology and can forgo expensive conversion costs. This is because the machine frame of your refrigeration system is retained.
Our retrofit program for cooling towers comprises the thorough refurbishment and the conversion to stepless speed regulation:
- Refurbishment: During the refurbishment, our engineers remove the interior of your cooling tower. This includes louvres, packing material, nozzles and drift eliminators. The outer hull is retained. It makes sense to refurbish your cooling tower when limescale deposits form or if softeners escape from the installed technology and become porous. If they enter the system they can cause damage to the pumps or plug up the system. We therefore recommend that you perform a refurbishment every six to eight years.
- Conversion: We convert conventional cooling tower drives to frequency converter drives. This significantly lowers the electricity consumption of your system – and your operating costs. Switching to stepless speed regulation also allows the water temperature to be controlled precisely and maintained at a constant level.
If your refrigeration system is no longer efficient, it will cause unnecessarily high costs during operation. This is often because of obsolete measuring and control technology. Our refrigeration experts examine your system on site and replace your old technology with the latest components.
