Exhibitors arriving in Nuremberg on 13 to 15 October are no longer arguing about whether to move to natural refrigerants. They are showing how fast the move can be made, and at what cost. That single change of question runs through nearly every release we have received ahead of Chillventa 2026, the largest edition of the fair yet, expanded by an additional hall to absorb demand from exhibitors.

Reading the material side by side, six shifts stand out: CO2 is leaving the supermarket rack and moving into small formats; data centre cooling has arrived at a refrigeration fair in force; heat pumps have scaled into the megawatt class; efficiency has moved from the component to the system; the transition is shipping as components, valves, coils and heat exchangers, not only as finished machines; and behind all of it sits a hard regulatory date, 1 January 2027.

A limited number of slots is available. Write to info@refindustry.com or contact Sergei Mukminov on LinkedIn.

CO2 moves down-market

For fifteen years, transcritical CO2 was a supermarket technology. This edition of Chillventa shows it spreading both down and sideways: into bakeries, butcher shops, single counters and small cold rooms, in packaged units that need no machine room and no specialist rack.

TEKO (Hall 5, stand 5-110) brings the ROXSTAdiscpack, a compact CO2 unit aimed at exactly the sites a classic multi-compressor pack was never built for: small markets, butchers, bakeries and food service. Alongside it runs the ROXSTAcube mini pure, a development of the cube mini line focused on the essentials.

Frascold, CO2 semi-hermetic piston range

Frascold (Hall 5, stand 5-336) answers the same shift from the compressor side. Its new CO2 Two-Stage semi-hermetic piston range, 11 models in three sizes, is built for single-compressor gas-cooler units serving individual counters, small cold rooms and industrial freezers, the architecture the company says is taking over from the medium and large transcritical and subcritical packs that used to define the segment. First-stage displacement runs from 1.5 to 12.6 m3/h at 50 Hz, discharge-side design pressure reaches 155 bar, and evaporating temperatures go down to minus 50 C. Engineering details include nitrided pistons, anti-friction finishes and, on 4-cylinder models, internal barriers between oil sump and motor. The company is also launching a second range at the show, the ALUMINIUM semi-hermetic screw compressors for ammonia, eight models with motors of 97 to 120 kW, wound in aluminium because copper corrodes in contact with ammonia.

Panasonic (Hall 7, stand 7-337) marks fifteen years of CO2 condensing units, and backs the anniversary with a number the industry rarely publishes: a measured comparison. In tests by Panasonic engineers in Japan, its CO2 units consumed 25.4 per cent less energy in low-temperature and 16.2 per cent less in medium-temperature applications than inverter-controlled R404A units, with total emissions, refrigerant losses plus energy, 67 per cent lower. The company itself notes the caveat: R404A was the benchmark of its day and has not been permitted in new EU systems since 2020. The release closes with a working installation, a 20 HP R744 unit at a farm dairy in Devon.

Epta and Hauser (Hall 4, stand 4-247) present the full store lifecycle under one roof, from plug-in cabinets for small formats to remote cabinets and packs for large sites, on natural refrigerants led by CO2 with propane, air and water-loop options. It is Hauser’s first Chillventa as part of the Epta Group, extending the offer into light industrial applications.

BITZER (Hall 1, stand 1-303) brings new air-cooled ECOLITE CO₂ condensing units for medium and low temperature, plug-and-play with capacity control, as an easy entry into CO₂. Its ECOLINE CO₂ series gains new 6-cylinder reciprocating compressors, completing a range from 2 to 8 cylinders, alongside retrofit-oriented PERFORMANCE, OPERATIONAL SAFETY and CONNECTIVITY kits. The ORBIT PRO scroll range adds propane versions for heat pumps, air conditioning, process and IT cooling, and for industrial ammonia the ACP SINGLE unit, built on an OS.A95 screw compressor, allows flexible and redundant system concepts. A new BITZER Arena walks visitors through products, digital tools and services across the product life cycle.

Arneg PRISMA

Arneg (Hall 9, stand 9-428) brings the same logic to store formats. Its new PRISMA range of transcritical CO2 systems is built for mini-markets and small stores, delivering high performance from a small footprint, for sites where space is the binding constraint. Alongside it, TOWER RING, first shown at EuroShop 2026, lets a single refrigeration unit serve several displays in stores with no room for outdoor units, holding the R290 charge per unit under 150 grams, a number that matters as charge limits tighten. Also on the stand: the new IMOLA promotional island in medium and low temperature versions, the GLOBO CO2 system, an R290 HP chiller, and Ring and Glycol systems. Incold, the group’s cold room company, exhibits opposite on two stands with commercial and industrial cold rooms, the new POLAR panels designed for faster assembly and better sealing, and four rapid roll-up door models built for airtightness in industrial refrigeration.

Friga-Bohn (Hall 4A, stand 4A-112), part of LFB Group, lays out its stand as a Library of Solutions built around CO₂ and multi-refrigerant experience. For smaller sites it brings the CO2LD XS, a compact CO₂ rack for lower capacities, alongside unit coolers from 0.7 to 200 kW: the AZUR ceiling unit for CO₂, HFC, A2L and R290 at 0.7 to 4.5 kW, the NOVA CO₂ cubic unit at 10 to 75 kW and the NK industrial cubic cooler at 6 to 200 kW.

Magnoric (Hall 4A, stand 4A-115, on the VULKAN Group stand) takes small-format retail cooling a step further, past refrigerants altogether. Its C1000 MarketCool, developed with Kaplanlar, is a full-size pre-series refrigerated display cabinet that uses magnetocaloric cooling to deliver more than 1 kW of cooling capacity without conventional refrigerant gases.

Data centre cooling arrives in force

Two years ago this cluster barely existed at Chillventa. In 2026, coolant distribution units, liquid cooling and leak testing appear on stands across the halls, and the reason is plain: server heat has become both a cooling problem and a heat source worth money.

Siemens (Hall 7A, stand 7A-116) brings a new Intelligent Valve in stainless steel for coolant distribution units and differential pressure control in liquid-cooled server racks, built for AI-density loads. Next to it, the MVL702 magnetic expansion valve arrives in a 90 bar version for R744, rated for fluid temperatures up to 150 C, which opens applications such as industrial steam generation with high-temperature heat pumps. Climatix controllers gain AI diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

CAREL (Hall 6, stands 104 and 110) shows control solutions for liquid cooling from CDUs to direct-to-chip and immersion architectures, integrating programmable controllers, sensors and edge connectivity for high thermal density environments.

Danfoss (Hall 4, stand 258) covers the same ground from components to systems, and frames it as heat management rather than heat removal: recovery from the chiller down to chip level. On the stand are the Turbocor TGS490 Active Cooling compressor, the company’s oil-free cooling ecosystem, a CDU electrical panel sub-assembly and the Virtus differential pressure controller for hydronic control. All of it sits inside the wider theme of the stand: that the sector should go beyond energy efficiency and decarbonise.

BITZER brings HELICOM CS60, compact screw compressors developed for data centre cooling. The company says the series supports cooling systems for the latest generation of AI chips with supply temperatures up to +45°C, runs on established low-GWP refrigerants and suits the low-lift operation at low ambient temperatures typical of modern data centres, with an integrated IQ MODULE for operational reliability.

Magnotherm (Hall 9, stand 9-115) is the outlier in this group, and worth a look for that reason. The Darmstadt company cools using the magnetocaloric effect rather than vapour compression, with no refrigerant at all. Its ECLIPSE platform went into retail with REWE Group this year; what it brings to Nuremberg is STELLAR, a plan for modular units of 125 kW and above built around high-temperature superconducting magnets, aimed at data centres, industrial processing and HVAC. The reason for the jump in scale is straightforward physics: magnetocaloric output rises steeply with field strength, and the company puts the gain at roughly a hundredfold between 1 and 5 tesla. STELLAR is a development programme rather than a product, and Magnotherm says it is looking for technical and commercial partners to take it further.

Sanhua (stand 4A-213) gives data centres a dedicated area of its eight-panel stand, built around one argument: its brazed plate heat exchanger range, already used in heat pumps, carries over to high-density liquid cooling, on both R290 and R744.

Eliwell and Schneider Electric (Hall 6, stand 6-118) add the electrical side: PLCs, drives and technologies for data centre cooling and HVAC, alongside Eliwell’s own refrigeration controls.

BAC (Hall 4, stand 4-323) approaches the data centre from the heat rejection side. COBALT pairs indoor immersion tanks, where the patented CorTex technology removes server heat with a dielectric fluid, with outdoor heat rejection that can be matched to local climate, energy and water conditions. Alongside it, the TrilliumSeries adiabatic unit, in cooler (TRF) and condenser (TRC) versions, combines EC fans, BAC-made coils and control strategies for free cooling, water quality and adiabatic operation. The stand also carries a dry cooler with double-stack coil and fan design, the Polairis PLC3 evaporative condenser and the MATRXDRIVE direct-drive fan array, which is also available as an upgrade for installed FXV, FXVE, CXV and CXVE units.

Heat pumps scale into the megawatt class

The range on show this year runs from 3,000 kW of heat per rack, sized for a district heating network, down to reversible units for a shop or a restaurant. Complete machines now supply at 95 C, and component makers say their hardware already allows industrial systems to reach 120 C: territory that used to belong to boilers.

GEA (Hall 4, stand 345) shows the new version of its RedGenium ammonia heat pump with supply temperatures up to 95 C, driven by the Grasso L XHP screw compressor optimised for ammonia heat pumps up to 95 C and 70 bar. Around it: the CompaX semi-hermetic ammonia screw, a new frame for the V reciprocating package that removes the need for a concrete foundation, a new Outdoor Enclosure for sites without a machine room, and a live compressor maintenance demonstration on a Grasso V 300-2. At the Specialist Forum on 14 October, GEA takes the argument into a second market with a session titled From Waste Heat to Value, which makes the case for treating data centre cooling as a heat supply business.

Johnson Controls (Hall 4, stand 4-131) brings the Sabroe HitemHP, the industrial high-temperature heat pump range launched for Europe in September. Built around the Sabroe SMC single-stage reciprocating compressor and running on butane and isobutane, it delivers output up to 122°C, with capacity turning down to 18 per cent.

Fenagy (Hall 1, stand 1-444) brings its H-range of CO2 heat pumps, 500 to 3,000 kW of heat per rack, air- or water-sourced, with supply temperatures up to 85 C, aimed at district heating, industry and heat recovery, including from data centres.

BITZER supplies the compressor side of the same move with CSH2T, compact screw compressors developed for high-temperature heat pumps, with fluid outlet temperatures up to +120°C and heating capacities of up to around 1.1 MW per compressor, for industrial process heat and district heating. The company says it is working to extend its heat pump components to condensing temperatures above +140°C.

Danfoss (Hall 4, stand 258) supplies the parts that set the ceiling. The company puts high-temperature industrial heat pumps at up to 120 C today, built around the PSG scroll compressor for R600a and R1234ze and the KH3 screw compressor. For the commercial segment it brings the VPN variable-speed R290 scroll with vapour injection, the fixed-speed PSN, and a Micro Plate heat exchanger optimised for propane.

Copeland (Hall 5, stand 5-132) brings the Vilter VQ95 single-screw heat pump for high-temperature industrial duty. Its industrial heat pump and process heat range, expanded with the acquisition of Germany-based SPH Sustainable Process Heat, includes technologies the company says generate hot water up to 180°C and process steam up to 175°C. The same stand covers the rest of the transition: oil-free centrifugal compressors with Aero-lift bearings for data centres on R513A, R515B and R1234ze; CO₂ scroll units for decentralised retail refrigeration and CO₂ compression for booster systems; R290 compressors for display cases; inverter swing rotary compressors developed with Daikin for residential heat pumps; and Bueno Analytics software for spotting system issues early.

Enex Technologies (Hall 7, stand 7-210) widens the choice rather than narrowing it: its portfolio now spans five natural refrigerants, with isobutane (R600a) added to CO₂, ammonia, propane and water. Two of the new units are heat pumps: Everest, an air-to-water four-pipe machine on R290 in a modular three-unit configuration, and a water-to-water high-temperature booster on isobutane for process heat, waste heat recovery and domestic hot water. At the Specialist Forum on 14 October the company puts numbers on the choice itself, comparing lifecycle cost across ammonia, transcritical CO₂ and NH₃/CO₂ and R290/CO₂ cascades at different plant sizes, using capital and operating cost, European climate data and electricity price sensitivity.

Clivet (Hall 7, stand 7-204) fills the commercial gap with SHEEN PRO, an air-cooled reversible R290 heat pump for the service sector, alongside the CVT9-Y VRF development and the TC3-7 touchscreen controller.

Efficiency moves from the component to the system

The most consistent engineering message of this edition: single components have reached the point of diminishing returns, and the next gains sit in how the parts talk to each other.

ebm-papst (Hall 7A, stand 7A-320) builds its entire stand on that thesis, premiering the AxiBlade.Perform fan series inside the NEXAIRA digital ecosystem of monitoring, reporting and predictive maintenance. The company’s CEO puts efficiency, reliability and digitalisation in one sentence for a reason. Its two forum sessions carry the same logic into practice: a smart fan retrofit format with guaranteed energy savings, and a first-hundred-days review of the ErP26 requirements, both on 14 October.

CAREL answers with RED Pilot, a platform that turns HVAC/R units into remotely managed connected assets, and with a new pRack rack controller: new architecture, extended modularity, Ethernet connectivity and versions for HFC/HFO, subcritical and transcritical CO2.

Eliwell EWNext 1000

Eliwell (Hall 6, stand 6-118) shows AIR, its app and cloud platform that automates HACCP reporting and flags anomalies remotely, plus the IDNext controller lines, the new EWHT 600 for temperature and humidity, and the LKDNext leak detector.

RDM (Hall 6, stand 6-327) argues the point from the data side: its forum session on 13 October, Finding Refrigeration Efficiency Through Data, starts from the observation that most operators already collect the data they need and fail to turn it into decisions.

Gradhoc (Hall 4, stand 4-126) answers that point with software that acts rather than reports. The Spanish platform starts in read-only mode on an existing installation and can progress to automatic real-time optimisation, adjusting suction pressure, superheat and setpoints within limits the customer sets, on top of whatever controls are already there. The published figures come with their baselines, which is rarer than it should be: 41 per cent lower energy consumption at an industrial ammonia plant, month before against month after deployment; 35 per cent in food retail, with compressor demand down by about 40 per cent; roughly 18 per cent in a 24/7 frozen store. The company states the comparison periods and warns against extrapolating to other installations.

Embraco Sync it All Pro Components

Embraco (Hall 4, stand 4-145), part of Nidec Global Appliance and sharing the stand with Nidec Drives, makes the section’s argument almost literally. Its Sync it All Pro ecosystem puts compressor, fan, controller and configuration software under a single operating logic, and the company brings a working reach-in cooler to the stand to show it running. The Sync Pro controller handles up to 16 components, 12 of them variable speed; the Flow Pro fan pack adjusts to demand; and the latest YouControl release adds an auto-tuning tool that, the company says, brings parameter setting down from weeks to days. Embraco puts the result at up to 30 per cent energy savings, with case studies shown at the booth. Around that demonstration sits a wider move: the new Embraco Scroll range, 1.2 to 35 HP across refrigerants from R410A to R290, carries the brand into heating and air conditioning, including air-to-water heat pumps and rooftop chillers, and the newly launched Pulse adds digital capacity modulation from 10 to 100 per cent across 2 to 15 HP. On the refrigeration side, the Bioma+ condensing unit for cold rooms takes multiple refrigerants including the A2Ls R454C and R455A at 29 to 36 dB(A), while the R290 line is led by the VLT, a dual-voltage variable-speed series in a frame 123 to 131 mm tall, and the VEHD, rated by the company 15 per cent more efficient than its predecessor.

ABB (Hall 6, stand 6-316) raises the consequence of all this. Once variable speed drives sit on every compressor, pump and fan, power quality becomes the next constraint, and the company brings ultra-low harmonic drives built on active front end technology to address the harmonic distortion and reactive power that follow. Alongside them: the ACH580-01 range extended to 315 and 355 kW in wall-mounted form, which cuts cabinet size; IP66/UL Type 4X drives rated for outdoor dust and water jets so they can be installed next to the application; and drive solutions for high-speed compressors. ABB’s PLC portfolio sits on top, coordinating compressors, pumps and fans as one system. At the Specialist Forum on 13 October, the company takes part in a session on specifying variable speed control for compressors, which puts partial-load energy savings typically in the range of 25 to 50 per cent and argues that drive selection decides reliability and power quality as much as efficiency.

Heat transfer and components

SWEP BPHE

SWEP (Hall 4, stand 4-357) shows brazed plate heat exchangers for CO2, propane and ammonia, including the FI190 for residential heat pumps and the B4TS for high temperature duty. Its forum session on 13 October addresses how EU F-gas requirements are pushing heat pump design from kilowatt low-charge systems to megawatt units, and what that does to distribution and oil management.

Alfa Laval (Hall 5, stand 5-203) brings the largest units in its copper-brazed range. The AXP172, the largest frameless high-pressure plate heat exchanger in its brazed portfolio, is built for transcritical CO₂ in large heat pumps and refrigeration systems; the CB450, its largest copper-brazed plate heat exchanger to date, targets industrial heat pumps and district heating. The SE43 is developed for R290 in residential and light commercial heat pumps, and the CB16SL internal heat exchanger supports high-efficiency heat pumps on R454C and R290. The new semi-welded TS45 covers high capacities and large flow rates, and a copper-brazed plate-and-fin design for industrial heat pumps, intended for poorly conducting gases and fluids, gives an early look at what comes next.

Secop

Secop (Hall 4, stand 129) reorganises its stand into five application areas: Food Service, Food Retail, Special Applications, Medical Cold Chain and Mobile Cooling. The focus is on natural refrigerants and on variable-speed and heat pump compressors. The R290 (propane) range goes from 3.0cc to 25cc and adds three new KL models, with NLE displacement increased up to 15cc and SCE up to 25cc. Two KL models, KLF3.0CNT and KLF9.6CND, are presented for the first time and are coming soon. The variable-speed range introduces the full set of electronic controllers: Core Functions, Multipurpose and Extended. Across the NLV and SLVE series, energy savings reach up to 40 percent compared with a fixed-speed R404A compressor. A new counter is dedicated to R290 compressors for domestic hot water heat pumps: KLE6.6DND and NLE10DNDX. The Medical Cold Chain area showcases a real ultra-low temperature condensing unit reaching down to −86 °C. In the Mobile Cooling area, the BD Nano is presented with four controllers: Electric Cars, Automotive, Leisure and OneControl, a single integrated controller for both the compressor and the car refrigerator cabinet.

Tecumseh (Hall 4, stand 4-307) arrives with a rebuilt compressor line for R290 and A2L, and names four platforms. Nexus covers fixed-speed R290 from 2 to 15 cc; Vector is the variable-speed counterpart, 4 to 13 cc, aimed at food service and retail; Axion spans 22 to 33 cc on R290 and A2L; and Spirion, the scroll family, reaches 13 HP across R290, A2L and A1 refrigerants. On the systems side: Orion, a fractional condensing unit platform built for multiple refrigerants, Astra, a new outdoor condensing unit for A2Ls, and the Silensys Scroll Inverter, 3 to 19 kW, pairing a variable-speed scroll with acoustic treatment for low noise. The company also brings a new global brand identity to Nuremberg.

Boyard (Hall 4A, stand 4A-313) covers the small commercial end: new monoblock systems from 0.5 to 3 HP in fixed and variable speed for R449/448, R454C and R290, wall or top mounted and ready to take an R290 leak detector; new A2L-ready outdoor condensing units from 1 to 3 HP with a redesigned service door; a variable-speed outdoor range up to 8 HP; rotary compressors from 1/3 to 3 HP; and variable-speed rotary compressors of 11 to 30 cc for transport refrigeration, on R448, R513, R1234yf and R454C.

KARYER (Hall 8, stand 8-108) shows dry coolers with adiabatic pad, spray or hybrid support that can be run separately as capacity demands, 5 mm coils for CO2 that cut size, weight and refrigerant charge, fruit-storage evaporators optimised for low moisture loss, and a new stainless steel cabinet-type brine cooler working at a 3 K temperature difference.

LU-VE (Hall 1, stand 1-324) brings a redesigned GIANT F family of flat condensers, liquid coolers and gas coolers with C4-H casing, and for data centres the ALFA V Mega VXX3 V-shape unit with adiabatic options aimed at PUE and WUE targets. For A2Ls it shows the Vantage SEHC indoor unit and the Minichannel SLMC condenser with 4 mm tubes to cut charge; for natural refrigerants, the Alfa Optigo FMS for CO₂, the Alfa Optigo PF MC for propane, the Alfa Arctigo ISD for ammonia and the Vantage FHC and FHD CO₂ indoor units. The coils on display include 4 mm tubes for heat pumps and appliances, 7 mm tubes for propane refrigeration and a fully recyclable all-aluminium coil for domestic hot water.

MITA Cooling Technologies and Frigofluid (Hall 4, stand 4-225) put water on the efficiency agenda. The PAD-XL W adiabatic cooler, configurable to 20 fans and 2,500 kW across 11.6 metres, wets its adiabatic section only when strictly necessary under PLC control and recovers water without chemical treatment. Frigofluid shows its RW chiller on R32 alongside. From 2026 the group also runs its own climatic test chamber, a quiet but telling investment: performance claims that can be verified.

Enex Technologies also brings the water question to the coil. Its new V-shaped adiabatic dry cooler is built to raise heat exchange while cutting water consumption and footprint, and at the forum on 15 October the company presents two patented ice safety solutions that allow pure water to replace glycol in finned-tube coils, protecting the coil against internal ice formation while improving heat transfer and cutting pumping energy.

NDL Industries (Hall 4A, stand 4A-413) extends its CO2 valve and fitting programme to 150 bar ball valves in stainless steel and UL-certified CO2 copper fittings up to 2-5/8 inch, the small hardware without which no transcritical system ships.

Sanhua

Sanhua (stand 4A-213) rounds out the component picture with a stainless steel line, REVO refrigeration controllers, and a standard controller for CO2 condensing units developed jointly with Reftronix (Hall 6, stand 6-210).

The 2027 clock

Every pattern above has the same deadline behind it. From 1 January 2027 the EU quota for hydrofluorocarbons placed on the market roughly halves in a single step, and GWP limits at equipment level take effect on the same date. The UK runs its own timetable, with its own quota step in 2027. We will publish a separate breakdown of what changes in 2027 for equipment manufacturers and importers.

A-Gas (Hall 1, stand 1-332) represents the other half of the arithmetic. If the quota for newly produced gas halves, the refrigerant already circulating in installed systems becomes a supply source in its own right. The company recovers used refrigerant, reclaims it to AHRI 700 standards for resale, and destroys what cannot be reused under UN-approved processes; its stand is laid out as a walk through those phases. Regulation treats reclaimed gas differently from virgin production, which is why the recovery side of the industry is suddenly commercial territory.

The exhibitor list reflects the moment: AFS Cooling (Hall 6, stand 6-127), a quota and compliance desk, exhibits at a refrigeration fair, offering EU and GB quota authorisations, statutory reporting and refrigerant sourcing for OEMs and importers. When compliance trading takes a booth next to compressors, the regulatory calendar has become part of the industry’s hardware.
