Refrigeration containers: a turnkey “home” for chillers
GENIUM heat & refrigeration containers offer many advantages. These include integrated safety equipment, ventilation, heating, lighting, and highly flexible transport characteristics. We present the design and equipment of GENIUM containers in detail.
Advantages of an energy-efficient modular hot & cold water system
Modular hot & cold water systems in a compact design impress with numerous advantages. Not only can such container systems ensure a smooth supply of heat and refrigeration, they can also be adapted easily to individual requirements. They have a small set-up footprint, for example, and can be set up flexibly almost anywhere outside a building. GENIUM containers are designed like machine rooms with all the safety equipment required for their use; this reduces the work that the customer has to do to connect the system electrically and hydraulically to the building’s system periphery. This means there is no need for a machine room in the spaces to be supplied with heat and refrigeration, thus focus can be placed on the actual intended purpose of those spaces. Container systems also function as a foundation for re-cooling systems. This means there is no need for additional frames for cooling towers.
In addition, container systems do not usually involve complex construction permit procedures. Interfaces have been reduced to a minimum, thus reducing administrative effort.
Containers are easy to transport
Container systems have another huge advantage: they are fairly easy to handle. As soon as spatial conditions change, i.e. because of rebuilding at the company, the cold water system in the container can be repositioned as a self-contained system. The container functions as transport packaging and protects the system from harmful environmental influences. The design is energy-efficient and saves space.
The Amonum in container format – protective and space-saving
The Amonum chiller from ENGIE made its debut in the market in 2013 and runs on ammonia, an eco-friendly refrigerant. The Amonum series impresses with, among other things, a speed-controlled piston compressor and an innovative evaporation system. Stepless speed control allows the refrigeration capacity of the Amonum to be adapted to refrigeration requirements while retaining maximum energy efficiency. Ammonia is considered an eco-friendly refrigerant, but the safety requirements for running ammonia chillers are relatively strict. This can scare off interested parties. When the Amonum is integrated in a container, it becomes a turnkey refrigeration solution that meets the safety requirements and reduces effort for the operating company to a minimum, because all necessary components are combined in one place.

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.
