ENGIE Refrigeration refines its water-cooled QUANTUM series

The QUANTUM chillers from ENGIE Refrigeration have represented the best quality and most powerful models available on the international refrigeration market for many years now.

The refrigeration and heating specialist from Lindau on the shores of Lake Constance is continuing to refine and enhance its machines to ensure it maintains this high standard. One outcome of this strategy is the new design of the watercooled QUANTUM series.

Adapting chillers to suit the customer’s expectation of today and of the future; this is the objective that ENGIE Refrigeration is pursuing with the new design of the watercooled QUANTUM series. After all, users and operators have seen their needs and expectations of a refrigeration supply change over the last few years. As Jochen Hornung, CEO of ENGIE Refrigeration, says “Around two years ago, we gave our QUANTUM AIR a new design based on a modular system principle; this concept has proved very popular among our customers.

At the same time, the efficiency and sustainability of a refrigeration system are becoming increasingly important. We are catering to these developments with the new design of our water-cooled QUANTUM series.” This also reflects ENGIE Refrigeration’s support of the ‘Zero carbon transition as a service’ mission that was launched by France’s ENGIE Group. The strategic objective at the heart of this mission is to help customers reduce their carbon footprint by providing low-carbon technologies and services. The overhauled features of the chillers allow them to make a key contribution to achieving this.

QUANTUM WATER setting new standards

The new QUANTUM WATER will be available on the international market from Monday, 28 June 2021 on, and will supersede the previous QUANTUM W, QUANTUM B, QUANTUM X and QUANTUM G series. At the time of its launch, ENGIE Refrigeration will be offering 47 different models, all featuring a modular configuration. Customers also have the option of choosing between R-515B, R-134a, R-513A and R-1234ze as refrigerants.

All of the machines require a smaller quantity of refrigerant than the predecessor series – a key aspect when it comes to sustainability. Moreover, state-of-the-art technical components and optimisations to the PLC and regulation options boost efficiency even further, in particular when operating under partial load. New compressors allow a much higher refrigeration capacity than was previously the case for the water-cooled QUANTUM chillers: All in all, the QUANTUM WATER models will, in future, be able to cater to the full spectrum of different capacities, from 200 kilowatts to four megawatts.

The QUANTUM P will, of course, remain available for customers requiring even higher capacities from four to 11.5 megawatts as a customised solution. Just like the predecessor models, the QUANTUM WATER chillers featuring the new design are ideally suited for use in a large number of different industries – from data centres to the pharmaceutical industry, and from automotive manufacturers to industrial production lines.

Jochen Hornung is confident that ENGIE Refrigeration will, once again, be setting new standards on the international refrigeration market with its QUANTUM WATER, “The efficiency of our QUANTUM WATER easily surpasses what was already the very high efficiency of the previous series, and is consequently able to reduce our customers’ carbon footprint. The modular system principle, the enhanced range of capacities, and the wide choice of refrigerants that can be used means that every customer is guaranteed to find exactly the right unit for their specific application within the QUANTUM WATER series.

And this shows that ENGIE Refrigeration is consolidating its pioneering role on the international refrigeration market.” The new Quantam Water is slated for an official launch on 28th June 2021. Further, the product will be available in 47 different models worldwide.
