The know-how enterprise Rheinmetall has received a significant order value over EUR770 million (together with valued added tax) within the extremely aggressive marketplace for stationary refrigerant compressors. It’s the largest-ever single order booked by one of many Group’s non-military models – right here the Sensors and Actuators division – outdoors the standard automotive sector.
Importantly, the order marks the profitable continuation of Rheinmetall’s diversification technique within the industrial area. Essential elements on this gross sales success have been, at the start, the excellent key efficiency information and lengthy service lifetime of the refrigerant compressor in addition to the usage of propane (R290), an environmentally pleasant refrigerant.
After deciding on a refrigerant compressor mannequin with direct present electronics, the client, an industrial buyer, entered a long-term provide contract with Rheinmetall. This compressor is analogous in design to these utilized in motor automobiles. Nevertheless, a number of modifications have been carried out to organize it for the particular industrial goal, together with the essential design and the {hardware} and software program. This provides the compressors a considerably larger service life; above all, it meets the relevant requirements within the area. Particular significance was hooked up to the changeover to R290, a pure refrigerant. The system is extremely built-in and terribly compact.
Refrigerant compressors draw a gaseous refrigerant into an in depth circuit, compressing it to the prescribed working strain. To reduce put on and tear within the compressor, the refrigerant is combined with oil, which lubricates the compressor whereas concurrently strengthening the seal in the course of the compression course of in accordance with the precept of displacement. With the suitable design, these compressors guarantee a excessive diploma of effectiveness coupled with an extended service life and low working noise. Relying on the method management, extremely environment friendly heating and cooling efficiency will be achieved, making the refrigerant compressor a beneficial software for minimizing CO2 emissions.
Its worldwide presence and unsurpassed improvement experience imply that Rheinmetall could make applied sciences out there for numerous purposes in a exactly tailor-made, fastidiously focused method. The Group’s globe-spanning manufacturing community and proximity to prospects world wide make Rheinmetall a extremely competent, agile companion for industrial prospects far past the bounds of the automotive sector, together with public authorities.
This gross sales success vindicates as soon as once more Rheinmetall’s strategic purpose of steadily diversifying its worldwide enterprise and contributing to the discount of world CO2 emissions.
