High-tech locations promote the economy in a variety of ways and set new standards in terms of innovation. Advanced technologies contribute to their success; this includes reliable cooling and heating technology in particular. This is due to the fact that the flawless operation of equipment and thus production quality depend heavily on compliance with specific temperature specifications. When planning and constructing high-tech new buildings, it is therefore all the more important to consider the air conditioning of the building as well as heat generation, for example by installing chillers with heat recovery, from the outset. A leading global provider of optical and optoelectronic solutions followed this example when building its new high-tech location in Jena, Thuringia. This creates space for all development units as well as for the majority of the local production and administration areas.
As the new building stands for modernity, openness and innovation, sustainable cooling and heating technology is a must. Three QUANTUM Water chillers ensure reliable air conditioning of the building. As the most efficient water-cooled chiller series on the market, QUANTUM Water scores highly in both economic and ecological terms. When generating heat for new buildings, two water-cooled QUANTUM chillers with heat recovery develop their full potential and support the customer with smart waste heat recovery on the way to climate neutrality. The experts for cooling and heating ensured the technically flawless operation of the chillers with and without heat recovery in advance on their own test bench in Lindau. ENGIE Refrigeration was also responsible for the delivery and commissioning of the systems. These run with the long-term available refrigerant R-1234ze, which is a safe choice with regard to the F-Gas Regulation. In short: thanks to reliable building air conditioning and energy-efficient chillers with heat recovery, the customer is ideally positioned for the future.
