Cooltherm a double winner at HVR awards

The Circlemiser chiller was deemed a top commercial air conditioning product

UK: Refrigeration and air conditioning company Cooltherm was a double winner at last night’s HVR Awards in London.

The Bristol-based business won the Commercial Air Conditioning Product of the Year (Chillers & Heat Pumps) award for the Circlemiser chiller, while its UK senior projects manager Justin Fisher picked up the Customer Service Person of the Year award.

The latest Circlemiser air-cooled chiller range, manufactured by Italian manufacturer Geoclima, is said to achieve EER’s of 4.35 thanks to the incorporation of special cylindrical condensers and cascade flooded evaporators.

Dave Blackmore, Director of CoolTherm said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won HVR’s award for air conditioning product of the year. It reflects a great team effort on the part of everyone involved.”

Justin Fisher was rewarded for his customer service

Justin Fisher has been in the industry for 10 years, starting as a junior installation engineer. He has been with Cooltherm for two and a half years and is described by his employers as someone who always strives to find better, greener, smarter ways to achieve something, putting his customers and the environment first.

Rob Young, director of CoolTherm said “Justin is not only a credit to us at CoolTherm, but he is a credit to the whole industry, it is people like Justin that make me proud to be a refrigeration engineer.”
