About the Frigel Group
Frigel group offers innovative cooling solutions and refrigeration equipment for industrial applications. All Frigel products are conceived and engineered in the headquarters in Florence, Italy with the latest technologies available in the field and then built in four manufacturing facilities around the world. The solutions are design to fit all specific cooling and temperature control requirements in multiple industries, such as plastics, beverage, oil & gas, cogeneration & tri-generation, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, metals, die-casting & furnaces, data centers and others.
In the last 20 years, Frigel has become a market leader in several of these industries introducing a new way of conceiving and making refrigeration, which is called “intelligent process cooling”. Focused on constant innovation, Frigel designs and builds integrated cooling solutions that achieve: unique performance for each specific application and, at the same time, setting new sustainability standards for the industry
Frigel has been the pioneer in introducing the Ecodry System (internationally patented). A close circuit adiabatic cooling system for overall heat dissipation (replacement for old evaporative cooling tower technology). With it’s exclusive “Adiabatic Chamber” design, Ecodry is the most efficient adiabatic cooling system available and has been successfully validated worldwide in more than 8.000 installations and in all weather conditions.
Frigel also manufactures a wide range of products in the field of refrigeration and process temperature control. Such as high efficiency air and water cooled chillers and heat pumps, from portable units up to several large central systems with inverter driven high efficiency screw compressors. All systems are designed to achieve the highest standards of efficiency and respect of environmental norms.
