ENGIE Refrigeration provides high-efficiency solutions - Amonum, Spectrum and QUANTUM chillers comply with Ecodesign Directive

The European Union specifies the legal requirements for chillers in a number of directives. The member states are under obligation to apply these directives as national law. Since 2009, EU Regulation 2009/125 has governed environmentally sound design of products affecting energy consumption. Since 2015, EU Regulation 2015/1095 has governed environmentally sound design of condenser sets and process coolers running at low to medium operating temperature. On 1 January 2018, EU 2016/2281 came into effect to join these regulations. It specifies requirements for refrigeration products and process coolers running at high operating temperatures. This latest regulation defines two performance indicators as a minimum value legally required to be maintained for air-conditioning and process cooling: tier 1 for units delivered as of 1 January 2018 and tier 2 for units delivered as of 1 January 2021. Ensuring compliance with the performance indicators is the responsibility of the manufacturers.

ENGIE Refrigeration’s products comply with the requirements of the EU Regulations perfectly: All of the chillers from the Amonum and Spectrum series (both compliant with EU 2015/1095) and all QUANTUM chillers (EU 2016/2281) not only fulfil tier 1 – all of them already significantly surpass the minimum performance indicators specified for tier 2. This makes the chillers supplied by Lindau refrigeration specialist the most efficient solutions available worldwide.
