Dpac offers absorption chillers

Absorption-Heat-PumpUK: Dpac UK Ltd has been appointed the exclusive distributor of Chinese Shuangliang absorption chillers in the UK and Ireland.

Founded in 1982, Shuangliang started manufacturing lithium bromide absorption chillers in 1985. Since then Shuangliang has become a well known brand in China and in 2003 became the only public-listed Chinese company in the lithium bromide absorption chiller industry.

Since its beginnings, Shuangliang has supplied over 20,000 units with a total cooling capacity of over 30 billion Kcal.

Dpac’s  Simon Lamberton – Pine  revealed that his company had already been working on waste heat energy projects with Shuangliang in CHP and energy applications prior to the official agreement.

“The existing brand awareness of Shuangliang and the high quality technical back-up support already experienced is something we have been searching for from a single overseas supplier for some time now,” he commented. “This will increase our penetration into an expanding waste energy market and we are looking for strong but importantly well supported client growth and a long-term relationship with Shuangliang complementary to our main brand of chillers with Thermocold.

Full training and support is available from both Dpac and Shuangliang European networks.
