The PENSUM AIR – the chiller that sets new standards
The air-cooled PENSUM AIR chiller is far ahead of its time. Why? Future-proof refrigerant, higher energy efficiency, and a 78 per cent lower GWP value in comparison to R-410A – this is the chiller of the future.
ENGIE Refrigeration is pursuing a specific target with its technological innovations: zero carbon. It is therefore part of the corporate philosophy to continuously improve the company’s chillers. As part of this process, the company has now relaunched its PENSUM AIR chiller, which has been on the market since 2013. It is available in four lines: Basic Cool, Free Cool, Super Silent and Reversible Heat, with a refrigeration performance between 50 and 400 kilowatts.
Innovative refrigerant reduces carbon emissions
To meet the requirements of the F-gas Regulation, the aim is to reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases step by step. By 2030, the total amount of F-bases within the EU is to be lowered incrementally by 79 per cent. That is why the new PENSUM AIR runs on a more eco-friendly refrigerant than its predecessor model. The PENSUM AIR uses the refrigerant R-454B. Its excellent thermodynamic properties make it highly future-proof. It has a GWP value of 466, so it already meets the requirements of the F-gas Regulation. This regulation specifies that refrigerants must have an average GWP value below 500 from 2030. Compared to R-410A, the refrigerant that was used previously, R-454B can reduce the GWP value by 78 per cent – a milestone in refrigeration technology – without forfeiting refrigeration capacity and with an energy efficiency increase of up to 4 per cent. The PENSUM AIR already meets the Tier 2 Ecodesign Directive, which will apply from 2021.
Ready-to-use technology that delights!
The previous model was already extremely powerful, but it has been further refined and adapted to current requirements. Among other things, its configuration and design have been improved. The machine has also been equipped with a new compressor, which makes it even more efficient than its predecessor model. The four lines comprise up to 18 models in total, which are equipped with the minimum standard equipment at the factory. Each machine, for example, is equipped with additional structural safety measures to prevent the risk posed by a class ASHRAE A2L refrigerant. In addition, the housing has been improved and a protective grille has been installed in front of the fin-type heat exchanger to protect it from mechanical influences. Whether as a heat pump, with free cooling, super silent or just reliably cold: PENSUM AIR offers practical and attractive/sustainable/economical solutions for technological building services and process cooling.
Carefree all round thanks to the optimised PENSUM AIR
The outstanding equipment that the PENSUM AIR is fitted with at the factory can be optimised with the right add-ons. Customers can choose from various configuration packages, add maintenance packages and book other warranty and service options. After all, what distinguishes ENGIE Refrigeration is not just the quality of its technological products, but also its outstanding service – a carefree all-round package. With the PENSUM AIR, ENGIE Refrigeration is taking another important step on its path towards zero carbon. Office buildings, schools and other busy facilities can improve their ecological footprint with this chiller.
PENSUM Air SUPER SILENT in comparison to BASIC COOL:
- SEER increase up to 4%
- 2.856 EUR energy savings per year (process cooling)
- sound power level decreases up to 13 dB(A) and
- 7 tons reduced CO2 foot print (process cooling)

Cooling and heating technology with heart: How ENGIE Refrigeration is breaking new ground in B2B marketing
B2B marketing is boring? Not at all! ENGIE Refrigeration shows that creative communication and marketing approaches are worthwhile - and, on the contrary, should not rely on purely rational messages when it comes to cooling and heating if they are to be fully effective. This is because ENGIE Refrigeration's marketing activities differentiate it from the market in the same way as its product portfolio. Tatiana Köhler, Head of Marketing and Communication, reports on strategies, measures and channels in the "on point." magazine.

Refrigerants with a future: Mastering the F-Gas Regulation sustainably thanks to ENGIE Refrigeration
By 2030, the European Union aims to reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases by 70 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent to 35 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent compared to 1990. The F-Gas Regulation makes a key contribution to this by incentivising the use of alternative refrigerants and requiring those responsible to develop new strategies for the cooling and heating supply of tomorrow. Jörn Stiegelmeier, Head of Technology and Development at ENGIE Refrigeration, knows the legal situation very well, not least through his association work at the Bundesindustrieverband Technische Gebäudeausrüstung e. V. (BTGA), and points out future-proof perspectives.
