Temperature-sensitive manufacturing and storage facilities operate chillers around the clock, consuming 40-60% of total electricity.

From cooling dairy products to cold storage, the food sector uses one of the largest chiller fleets in India.

Process cooling often requires refrigeration capacity exceeding 5,000 TR per plant.

Precise temperature control is vital, with chillers making up 35-45% of total energy expenses.

Energy used for cooling nearly equals that of IT equipment, making chillers key to decarbonisation.

Decarbonising cooling systems leads to immediate, measurable emissions cuts and lower electricity exposure.

BROAD's exhaust-fired VAM chillers convert waste heat from industrial processes, generators, or boilers into usable cooling. Energy that would typically escape into the atmosphere is used productively, decreasing overall facility carbon intensity.

Direct-fired VAM chillers that use natural gas emit fewer emissions per cooling unit than coal-powered electric chillers. Emission reductions range from 35-50%, depending on grid emission factors.

VAM systems work well with solar thermal energy, biomass boilers, or biogas systems, enabling truly zero-carbon cooling when connected to renewable heat sources.

Non-electric cooling lessens peak demand, allowing facilities to decrease grid consumption during high-tariff periods when emissions from coal plants peak.

Conduct comprehensive energy audits and establish a carbon baseline for comparison.

Identify available waste heat sources across your facility for VAM integration.

Roll out VAM chillers in phases to manage costs and ensure operational continuity.

Track emissions reductions and document for ESG reporting requirements.

Use performance data to refine operations and maximize efficiency gains.

Industrial rates: ₹6-12/kWh. Replacing 500 TR electric chillers with VAM systems saves ₹60-90 lakhs annually.

Cutting peak loads reduces demand charges, which account for 30-40% of industrial bills.

Non-electric cooling maintains operations during outages, preventing production losses in temperature-sensitive processes.

Emission reduction projects generate voluntary carbon credits. While prices fluctuate, they enhance project ROI.

Strong sustainability records attract higher valuations and easier access to green financing at better rates.

Low-carbon certified products command premium prices in export markets and supply chain partnerships.

• Use low to medium-pressure steam (0.2-2.5 kg/cm²) from boilers or process waste
• Single-effect and double-effect configurations
• Capacities: 50 TR to 1,500 TR per unit

• Operate with hot water (80-95°C) from engine jackets or solar thermal collectors
• Best for lower-temperature waste heat sources
• COP values: 0.7-0.75

• Transform engine or turbine exhaust (400-550°C) directly into cooling
• Ideal for cogeneration systems and generator sets
• COP values: 1.2-1.3

• Use natural gas, biogas, or diesel fuel directly
• No waste heat required—still deliver 35-50% lower emissions than grid chillers
• Flexible for facilities without process heat sources
