Aggreko expands chiller fleet with “greener” units

UK: Aggreko has expanded its European fleet of cooling solutions to include “greener” chillers for both production processes and cooling applications.

Aggreko claims to have grown its fleet of chillers to support its customers with the most efficient short- and long-term solutions to maintain critical operations, assist during emergency scenarios and support with increasing capacity.

Complementing its existing range of industrial HVAC solutions and wider Greener Upgrades portfolio, Aggreko is introducing two new cooling product ranges.

Its new very low temperature chiller, the VLTC550 with CO2 refrigerant, is containerised unit capable of achieving 220kW of cooling at -40OC in a condensed 10ft footprint.

Aggreko is also switching all screw chillers in its fleet to the lower GWP refrigerant R513A.

For larger scale cooling requirements, Aggreko has also introduced a new water-cooled chiller range which delivers 1.5MW of cooling and uses R513A refrigerant. Designed to meet the needs of data centres, manufacturing, petrochemicals, food & beverage, and mining sectors, the modular and scalable water-cooling solution provides advanced control capabilities to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

Aggreko has also recently invested significantly in its portfolio of Greener Upgrades to power the chillers. This includes incorporating stage V generators, greener fuels and battery energy storage systems.
