First Ice Storage System Set Up For District Cooling

Wien Energie is further expanding its district cooling network. Under the new campus of the Medical University, the eighth large district cooling centre was put into operation today. For the first time, an ice storage tank was also installed. Wien Energie CEO Michael Strebl spoke of a "milestone" at a media event and referred to the rapidly increasing number of tropical nights in Austria. Between 1960 and 1991, according to Strebl, there were an average of 1.6 tropical nights a year – i.e. night...

High-Temperature Air Source Heat Pumps Replace Gas at UK Airport

A major UK airport has taken its first step towards net zero by replacing gas-fired heating with a high-temperature 400kW air source heat pump system. Installed to operate at 75/60°C flow temperatures, this retrofit solution provides immediate operational benefits while supporting the site’s long-term carbon reduction goals. Immediate Impact Without Disruption The airport handles both domestic and...

Twin Energy CO₂ Chiller Cuts Energy Costs at UK Meat Processing Plant

A major UK meat processing facility has taken a huge step towards sustainable production by installing a CO₂ Twin Energy Chiller-Hot Water Generator system from Pure Thermal. This state-of-the-art installation delivers low-temperature process cooling at -12°C alongside 65°C high-grade hot water—achieving both energy efficiency and significant cost reductions. Meeting Production Demands with One In...

Propane Process Chillers for Food and Drink: 30–800kW Range

Propane process chillers for food manufacturing applications from 30 kW to 800kW with -10°C capability. If you’re looking to apply a chiller within a food or drinks sector application, then speak to us about our low carbon options with natural refrigerant and 100% waste heat recovery. There’s now no need to treat the rejected heat from process cooling as waste or use FGas refrigerants where propan...

IceBat 18,000kWh System Cuts Cooling Costs with Load Shifting

As an 18,000 kWh capacity IceBat Cold Battery System enabling a cooling plant to target flexible electricity tariffs. This provides the user with significant operating cost savings by increasing chiller output when low-cost (or low-carbon) electrical input power is available regardless of the cooling load/demand at that time. External and internal specifications IceBat systems are available to pro...

Propane Chillers and the Enerblue Silver Range

It’s now clear that the chiller market is going through real change with a definite drive towards low GWP and natural refrigerants. Over this year we have seen awareness dramatically increasing with respect to the effects of both the F-gas phase-out and the carbon impact of using high-GWP chillers and heat pumps. The impact of reducing the refrigerant quota is definitely driving change; in simple...
