Efficient process cooling for the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry
When things have to be perfect, we come to the fore – and that applies to the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry as well. Temperature-sensitive production processes in particular require that ambient temperatures are always ideal – whether manufacturing medicines or other complex chemical goods. We offer reliable and energy-efficient refrigeration solutions for these situations.
Projects from the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry
Industrial heat pump enables efficient heat supply at the chemical park
A chemical industry site is modernising its heat supply to optimise energy use. Previously, heating was provided via a central steam distribution system with high system temperatures and a correspondingly high energy requirement. The aim of the project is to gradually adapt the heat supply whilst continuing to make reliable use of the existing infrastructure. The project is being carried out in collaboration with the Building Technologies division of ENGIE Deutschland GmbH.
Multiple efficiencies: utilising geothermal energy, reliable cooling and heating
In two ultra-modern new buildings belonging to a German chemical and pharmaceutical company, several SPECTRUM chillers are utilising geothermal energy to simultaneously provide heating and cooling.
Demand-based heating and cooling with energy from an ice storage system
Efficient heating and cooling with just one machine? That's easy for our SPECTRUM Water. At a leading global manufacturer of medical technology and pharmaceutical products, two of these units ensure that cooling and heating are provided in line with requirements, using energy from an ice storage tank.
The right solution for every requirement: our refrigeration technology in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry
As we knew long before 2021, the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry is of absolute systemic importance – important production chains must be followed down to the smallest detail. But that’s not all. In this era, complex processes sometimes need to be adapted to different requirements quickly and, above all, easily.
The necessary refrigeration plays a central role here, both in the production process and in the storage of medicines and other chemicals-based goods. The refrigeration supply must guarantee that these stringent requirements are met at all times – and we at ENGIE Refrigeration have specialised in exactly these situations.
We are the reliable partner by your side
Our refrigeration technology solutions have always stood for maximum efficiency and absolute reliability. But it is not just our chillers that convince with their performance.
When you choose ENGIE Refrigeration, you are also choosing a sparring partner who is your equal, and who offers you much more than just machine solutions. We assist you in all matters relating to energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions – from more efficient refrigeration technology to the integration of heat recovery and renewable energy sources:
- Decarbonisation consulting as a service: If you wish, we will support you in reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of your refrigeration systems – from initial analysis through planning to implementation.
- dka – the refrigeration academy: We share our know-how and show you how to get the best out of your refrigeration technology.
- Efficiency check: How effective are your chillers? We tell you and identify potential improvements.
- Flexible for every requirement: We don’t have just one chiller. We have many different solutions for many different requirements and needs – and we definitely have the perfect model for your application.
The advantages of QUANTUM
- Maximum energy efficiency: Save up to 50% of operating costs
- Operational reliability: No failure of the entire system, compressor change while the system is running
- Continuous power control: Smaller dimensions of storage tanks, fewer start-ups, stable consumer power supply
- Oil-free compressor and non-contact magnetic bearing: no oil circuit, eliminating oil disposal requirements and reducing maintenance intervals
- Start-up current below 5A
- Gentle start-up: Staggered start, no power peaks
- Low sound and vibration: No vibration damping, sound damping, leakage or vibration damage
- Lower CO₂ emissions from operation: Reduced energy consumption leads to lower operational CO₂ emissions compared to conventional compression chillers – exact values depend on the energy mix and operating conditions (details available on request)
- No reactive current compensation: No drop of power factor under part load
- Service: Simple design, fewer components, low maintenance

The very first SPECTRUM Water chiller ever went to a company in the pharmaceutical and chemical sector. Well - that's no coincidence. Because this model is predestined for use in a highly sensitive environment. And in doing so, it stands up to demanding requirements in terms of operational reliability and efficiency. Here's what you need to know about SPECTRUM:
- Powerful nominal cooling capacities of up to 1,100 kilowatts and chilled medium outlet temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius.
- Clever chiller design and high-quality high-end components guarantee highest operational reliability and failure safety
- In process cooling applications with excellent seasonal efficiency values for minimum operating costs and CO2 emissions
- Low-maintenance and permanently reliable operation thanks to oil-free chiller design
- Smart operation leads to high user friendliness
- Compact design saves space in technical rooms and facilitates installation
- Low-GWP refrigerant R-1234ze is future-proof with regard to the F-Gas regulation
