One of the major trends in the industrial cooling systems market is the rising adoption of energy-efficient and eco-friendly cooling systems. With growing environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding carbon emissions, companies operating in industries such as power generation, automotive, and oil & gas are incorporating green technologies in their existing infrastructure. Other factors driving the demand include rapid industrialization in developing countries of Asia Pacific and Latin America and the increasing need for process cooling in industries.

Global industrialization and rising temperatures

With rapid industrialization occurring all over the world, especially in developing economies, there is increased demand for various industrial operations and manufacturing activities. A wide range of industries like oil and gas, power generation, food and beverage, chemicals and petrochemicals among others have seen substantial growth in their production volumes. All these industries require uninterrupted operations and any shutdown causes huge financial losses. At the same time, global warming has caused rising temperatures in several parts of the world. High ambient temperatures pose serious challenges for continuous operations in many industries. It can cause overheating of machines and industrial equipment, which can further lead to technical faults and failures.

For instance, in May 2023, Delta T Systems, a leading provider of innovative process cooling solutions, announced the launch of its latest product - the Free Cooling System. This high-performance free cooler, also known as a fluid cooler or dry cooler, is designed to deliver energy-efficient cooling for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Strict environmental and energy efficiency regulations

Authorities in many countries have introduced stringent regulations regarding carbon emissions, energy efficiency and waste heat recovery in industries. Failure to comply with such norms can attract hefty penalties. This has motivated industries to focus more on sustainable manufacturing practices. One of the focus areas is on upgrading their cooling infrastructure to newer energy efficient technologies. Regulations mandate monitoring and reporting of key performance indicators like power usage effectiveness (PUE) of data centers. Advancements in cooling engineering have enabled the development of greener solutions like fluid coolers, evaporative condensers and adiabatic condensers which provide comparable cooling with lower energy consumption compared to conventional equipment. Industries are also exploring possible reuses of waste heat from cooling systems to further boost energy savings. Compliance to regulatory driver forces industries to periodically retrofit existing conventional cooling systems with improved eco-friendly alternatives having lower total owning cost in long-run. Therefore, the evolving regulatory landscape has become a critical factor fuelling investments in next-gen industrial cooling technologies globally.
