ICS Cool Energy, an international specialist in complete temperature control solutions for manufacturing process and facilities applications, is to expand and increase its investment in its rental fleet in Europe.
‘Constantly investing in the latest process cooling and heating solutions’, ICS Cool Energy expects to see its rental fleet grow by over 20% in 2022 ‘compared with the 2019 baseline’. In 2022 alone, the company plans adding significantly more chillers, cold stores, and portable cooling and heating units, to its rental fleet. It will also expand its holding stock of i-Chiller units for fast equipment sales deliveries. The i-Chiller, ‘unlike chillers designed for HVAC, is specifically built to cope with the rigours of manufacturing and critical processes’. The growing hire fleet will be mainly stored in the recently modernised and expanded central depot in Southampton, backed up by depots in Bradford, Germany, the Netherlands and France.
“For over 30 years, ICS Cool Energy has been growing and investing to be the market-leader for process temperature control,” said Dave Palmer, general manager for UK and Ireland. “Today, we have grown our chiller hire fleet to over 500 MW at our customer’s disposal. Our equipment capabilities and expertise enable us to quickly respond to customers’ temporary cooling and heating needs within their process, critical, or comfort applications. Our engineers can support jobs of any size – from short-term to up to 9 years, providing reliable, robust, and economic solutions for our customers’ businesses.”
ICS Cool Energy solutions are available for short or long-term hire, as well as part of the FLEX Membership, long-term exchange programme. FLEX Membership subscription gives customers access to the latest process heating and cooling equipment ‘with the flexibility of an operating expense’. Customers receive the equipment, preventative, and 24/7 emergency maintenance, replacements, and upgrades, for an all-inclusive monthly rate. ICS Cool Energy said: “This allows them to transform their process temperature control system from a fixed asset into a dynamic solution that will be up-to-date with their changing business and process needs.”
