Trane adds battery storage to rental fleet

BELGIUM: Trane Rental Solutions is now offering a containerised battery pack to ensure reliable electric power for cold storage and HVAC. 

Its new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is available as part of its rental fleet across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa as well as Australia and New Zealand.

The new large-scale containerised BESS units are engineered to support customers by storing energy and providing reliable power during periods of peak demand, fluctuating rates, or potential grid instability. This fully autonomous battery pack promises efficient, quiet and flexible electric power in temporary and permanent installations, including cold storage containers and small HVAC installations.

The BESS 200 unit expands Trane Rental Services power solutions portfolio as the company’s first battery storage system housed in a robust, 10-foot container, offering fuel-free battery capacity starting at 230kWh and 50kW output. 

Integrated within a container featuring Thermo King refrigeration technology, the system is said to be capable of operating in a wide range of ambient temperatures, from -30°C to 50°C and offers IP55 protection class for enhanced durability.
