Cooling from Heat:
Reduce your industrial cooling costs by up to 80%.

Cost-efficient

Your advantage: Up to 80% lower operating costs through waste heat utilisation.

Using heat as a drive energy source instead of electricity significantly reduces your power consumption and, consequently, your operating costs. Furthermore, you increase the overall efficiency of your coupled heat supply system.

Climate-friendly

Sustainable: Reduction of CO₂ emissions by approx. 100 kg per MWh of cooling.

By drastically reducing electricity consumption for cooling purposes, the associated emissions are lowered, helping to protect the climate. Additionally, you benefit from using natural refrigerants such as water or propane, which are also environmentally friendly.

Low-maintenance

Reliable: Minimal maintenance due to mechanical-free adsorption modules.

As the heart of the cooling generation process, the adsorption modules are completely sealed vacuum chambers with no moving parts. They use only water as a refrigerant, which significantly reduces maintenance requirements.

Combined Cooling, Heat, and Power (CCHP)

Optimising energy use: Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units operate with high efficiency. However, what to do with the excess heat in summer? SorCool transforms your summer heat surplus into valuable cooling capacity with high efficiency. This ensures optimal, year-round utilisation of your energy system and drastically reduces your electricity costs.

Solar Cooling

Cleverly utilising summer surpluses: Solar thermal systems produce the most heat precisely during the hot summer months – exactly when your demand for building cooling is at its highest. SorCool’s adsorption units convert this unused solar heat directly into environmentally friendly cooling. This protects your solar system from thermal overload and increases the return on your investment.

Industrial Waste Heat (Production Cooling)

Utilising waste heat from compressed air: Almost all manufacturing companies operate compressed air systems. With integrated heat recovery, nearly 80% of the energy used can be extracted as hot water (above 70°C). Our cooling technology uses this waste heat directly as climate-friendly drive energy for cooling tools, manufacturing processes, or office spaces.

Cooling from Heat – How does it work?

The principle is as ingenious as it is simple: We utilise the physical properties of water and silica gel.

1. Adsorption (Cooling generation): In a vacuum chamber, water evaporates at minimal temperatures and extracts heat from the environment – creating usable cooling. The water vapour is absorbed by a highly porous material (silica gel), much like a sponge.
2. Regeneration (Heat supply): Once the silica gel is saturated, we supply your surplus waste heat (e.g., from a CHP unit or process heat). The heat drives the water out, the silica gel dries, and the cycle begins again.
