Bespoke process cooling
Beyond the sea, APINA designs bespoke refrigeration plants for industrial processes that need controlled temperature: chemical, pharmaceutical, electronics, plastics and automotive. From 5 kW to several MW, combining screw or reciprocating compressors or absorption systems.
And a specialty almost no one offers: producing cooling from the heat your process already wastes.
Bespoke process refrigeration
We design the refrigeration plant to fit your process, not the other way round: capacities from 5 kW to several MW, with screw or reciprocating compressors or absorption systems, and natural refrigerants (NH₃, CO₂). Solutions for chemical, pharmaceutical, electronics, plastics and automotive, where temperature stability is critical.
Cooling from waste heat
Our specialty: using heat that would otherwise be wasted —low-pressure steam, cogeneration gases, process heat— to generate cooling by NH₃-water absorption, with near-zero electricity consumption. Cogeneration + absorption = the highest overall COP and a radically lower energy bill. Also ideal for hot climates where air condensation is not viable (solutions proven in Saudi Arabia and Nicaragua).
Equipment and solutions
Brine chillers
Flooded plates up to 200 kW / 57 RT, with high resistance to corrosive environments and simple maintenance.
District cooling
For industrial and urban complexes.
Retrofit and certification
Replacement of obsolete refrigerants, stage linearisation and legalisation before classification societies.
TESTIAC® and predictive maintenance
In-house technology and data-based maintenance.
Electrical and control included
As in every APINA plant, the installation is delivered turnkey with switchboards, in-house PLC programming, SCADA supervision and secure remote management via web/VPN, with automatic alerts and reports.
