Industrial Process Cooling Solutions
From plastics to data centres, from food to power generation — cooling solutions designed around each sector's heat load, temperature tolerance and operating regime.
9 sectors
We start from the real load profile of the process, not from the equipment
The variables that define cooling demand differ in every sector: mould temperature, food safety, server inlet temperature or the stability of oil and hydraulic circuits. Choose your sector to see typical applications, engineering criteria and recommended Carnot products.
Plastics & Rubber
In mould cooling, temperature stability drives both cycle time and scrap rate.

Food & Beverage
Hygiene class, unbroken cold chain and certified air quality, together.
Explore
Automotive & Metalworking
High, swinging load profiles need capacity that tracks demand in real time.
Explore
Pharmaceutical & Chemical
Validation, traceability and redundancy are the starting point of the design.
ExploreTextile
In dyehouses and finishing lines, waste heat is a recoverable resource.
ExploreFoundry & Die Casting
Under heavy thermal load, equipment simply has to stay up.
Explore
Electronics & Data Centres
High availability and a low PUE target meet in the same design.
ExplorePower Generation Facilities
On generators, turbines and auxiliary systems, continuous cooling is continuous output.
ExploreCold Storage & Logistics
In large-volume warehouses, stable temperature has to hold through heavy dispatch traffic.

Typical cooling loads and systems by sector
A quick guide to where the heat comes from in each industry and the Carnot system we usually start from. Every project is then sized to the plant’s measured load.
- Plastics & Rubber
- Heat comes from the melt entering the mould and from hydraulic and oil circuits. Typical system: a process chiller working with Molder temperature control units for steady mould temperature, plus free cooling to carry part of the load without compressors in winter.
- Food & Beverage
- The load comes from cooling after cooking and pasteurisation, fermentation and product temperature before filling, with latent heat added where there is a phase change. Typical system: a water- or air-cooled chiller set to the leaving-water temperature the process exchanger needs.
- Automotive & Metalworking
- Machining spindles, laser sources, cutting fluids and hydraulic oil create loads that swing from minute to minute. Typical system: an air- or water-cooled chiller whose capacity tracks demand, with separate circuits for equipment that needs different temperatures.
- Pharmaceutical & Chemical
- Heat of reaction, condensing load and batch volume call for a time–temperature profile at the reactor jacket. Typical system: a redundant, tightly controlled Tundra water-cooled chiller with a secondary fluid circuit chosen for its viscosity at low temperatures.
- Textile
- Post-dyeing cooling and temperature control of coating and lamination rollers create loads that swing with every production changeover. Typical system: a chiller with buffer volume, combined with recovery of dyehouse waste heat.
- Foundry & Die Casting
- The heat transferred into the mould on each cycle, the mould’s thermal mass and the target cycle time set the cooling demand. Typical system: a Tundra water-cooled chiller sized for high-flow mould circuits, with start-up heating, steady production and shutdown built into the controls.
- Electronics & Data Centres
- The IT load from servers and network equipment runs 24/7, and AI workloads keep pushing density up. Typical system: N+1 redundant chillers with Fusion free cooling and Kalter dry coolers that run without compressors whenever outdoor air allows.
- Power Generation Facilities
- Heat from engines, generators and auxiliary equipment has to be removed continuously, whatever the season. Typical system: dry coolers sized for design outdoor conditions, backed by a chiller where the fluid temperature limit demands it.
- Cold Storage & Logistics
- Product load, heat through the building envelope, air infiltration from door openings and internal gains change throughout the day. Typical system: a Tundra or Thule chiller feeding separate temperature zones through a glycol secondary circuit.
