Modern machinery and infrastructure are evolving, becoming more compact, more powerful,
and increasingly decentralised. Whether integrated into a production line, a battery energy
storage system (BESS), or an edge IT deployment, today’s systems place greater demands
on cooling, not only in terms of capacity, but also in environmental resilience, temperature
accuracy, and installation flexibility.
As flexible as a chameleon and technically precise, the expanded Blue e+ Chiller platform is
engineered to meet these evolving requirements, with specialised options tailored for
industrial, outdoor, and IT environments. Each variant delivers precise thermal stability,
optimised energy efficiency, and reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
