Partner's material In March 2026, Secop’s Solar Direct Drive Power Management Module was granted WHO PQS prequalification and officially listed in the WHO Catalogue of Prequalified Immunization Devices. The WHO IMD-PQS (Immunization Devices Performance, Quality and Safety programme) is the global benchmark for cold chain equipment used in immunisation. Being listed in its catalogue is a verified technical certification that a product meets the WHO requirements for performance, quality and safety: the standard that UN agencies and national immunisation programmes worldwide use to

For an engineer reading a data center brief in 2026, the first constraint is rarely the heat load. It is whether the site has the electricity, the water, and a use for the rejected heat to run a given cooling scheme at all. The cooling technology, and with it the refrigerant, follows from what the location can supply. This is not a 2026 development. The design and site-selection firm Build.inc dates the shift to around 2023, when GPU racks crossed the point at which cooling could no longer be, in its words, engineered in afterward; the assumption "broke around 2023, and it has not returned

By Sergei Mukminov, Editor-in-Chief, Refindustry The Danfoss Smart Store ADC in Nordborg. Source: Danfoss A/S. A Danish convenience store covered 100 percent of its heating demand from refrigeration waste heat through the coldest winter in more than a decade. Over two years of operation, the same site exported 36 MWh of surplus heat to its city's district network and saved close to €8,800 on heat it would otherwise have purchased from the same grid. The electricity penalty for delivering that heat was, in the operator's words, marginal.
