Energy Efficient Chillers
Chiller Energy Analysis
ICS Cool Energy can undertake a Chiller Energy Analysis. A detailed overview and full report is produced containing equipment performance, efficiency and recommendations for system improvements including a payback period.
Both large and small enterprises are under pressure to reduce energy consumption and improve the efficiency of plant to meet legislation, protect the environment and minimise running costs.
The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) dictates that a Building Energy Audit is carried out every four years for large enterprises, along with regular air-conditioning inspections for capacities >12kW to meet the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
ICS Cool Energy is committed to providing energy efficient solutions to improve and protect our customers’ temperature control systems. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and best practice to deliver systems with the environment and our customers’ profitability at the forefront.
Our technical expertise, energy analysis software and wide portfolio of solutions will help improve the energy efficiency of your systems and your temperature control whilst reducing your costs and minimising your risk of downtime.
Understanding the efficiency and performance of your cooling systems is crucial to reducing your maintenance, operative and energy costs.
Chiller Energy Analysis – benefits:
- Understand the performance and efficiency of your existing systems
- Understand your cooling and heating requirements
- Learn about available technologies to save energy and reduce running costs
- Receive accurate energy savings and payback periods for business cases

Refrigeration Oil Analysis and Cleansing
The only contents within a refrigerant system should be refrigerant and oil. Modern polyester oils are very hydroscopic. Every time intrusive work is carried out, moisture is inadvertently allowed to enter the system. Moisture mixed with polyester oil turns into acid, which leads to system degradation and component failures. Acid attacks the electrical insulation within compressor motor windings – eventually leading to an electrical compressor failure or what is commonly called a “burn-out”.
ICS Cool Energy can analyse the oil within your refrigeration circuit to identify early signs of potential failure, noting moisture, acid and metallurgy. We’ll then make recommendations in line with the results.
Preventative action can increase the life of components and prevent expensive compressor failures if caught early.
Our highly qualified engineers utilise our Ref-Cleanse system which provides a cascade, triple filtration process. The system components are segregated, and refrigerant flushed through each area. All contaminates including oil, carbon, debris, sludge and any trace of moisture are completely removed from the circuit which is returned to an “as new” status.
Additionally, we can recycle contaminated refrigerant that would normally have to be disposed of, reducing impact on the environment and creating considerable savings.
Benefits of Ref-Cleanse:
- Extended lifecycle of equipment
- Prevent expensive component failures
- Avoids costly virgin refrigerant through recycling
- No need to use inferior solvents or cleaning agents
- System is quickly returned to full operating performance and efficiency

Adiabatic Enhancements
ICS Cool Energy can offer fitment of adiabatic enhancements to new and existing equipment.
An adiabatic enhancement is a unique system that improves the performance, reliability and energy efficiency of all air-cooled equipment, without requiring energy to provide its cooling effect.
The adiabatic enhancement works by reducing the temperature of the ambient air by as much as 20°C. A reduction of 10°C alone can generate a 13% reduction in energy consumption – delivering immediate cost savings and environmental benefits.
Adiabatic Enhancements – benefits:
- Reduction of system energy input
- Delivery of additional capacity for your process needs
- Delivery of design capacity without interruptions, even in higher ambient conditions
- Extension of equipment operating range beyond its original specifications
- Improved equipment lifecycle
- Filters air

Heat Recovery
Heat Recovery involves recycling waste heat from your cooling systems to help increase the efficiency of your plant.
The waste heat that would have been rejected in to the atmosphere, is recovered and reused for any number of process needs including heating or preheating water to use for either domestic hot water or process applications.
Heat Recovery – benefits:
- Recover up to 70% of potentially wasted electrical heat energy
- Produce hot water up to 70°C
- Reduce energy consumption of your heating system(s)
- No footprint increase

Variable Speed Drive
Controlling the flow of air and water in process temperature control systems is an effective, permanent way to meet the ever changing demands put on a system and enhance its efficiency.
ICS Cool Energy can install a Variable Speed Drive or VSD (an electrical/electronic system that provides infinitely variable speed control of AC induction motors). VSD’s can be installed to meet varying system flow rate requirements or just to increase energy efficiency.
Payback on an installed system can be as little as 6 months.
Variable Speed Frequency Drives – benefits:
- Energy savings
- Cost savings
- Trouble-free operation
- Meet system demands more easily
