Epta and Hauser presented their combined refrigeration portfolio at Chillventa 2026, held from October 13 to 15 in Nuremberg, Germany. Exhibiting together for the first time, the companies showcased natural refrigerant technologies, industrial refrigeration systems, integral cabinets and digital tools for refrigeration management.
Hauser introduced ecoFusion, a technology for transcritical CO2 systems developed in cooperation with Graz University of Technology. The solution uses a modular R290 subcooler with a limited propane charge per circuit and is available in 12 kW (approx. 40,900 BTU/h) and 24 kW (approx. 81,900 BTU/h) versions. Designed for applications with ambient temperatures up to 50°C (122°F), ecoFusion complements Epta’s FTE 3.0 and ETE technologies. These solutions are intended to maintain refrigeration capacity during heatwaves and deliver estimated energy savings of 15% to 23% at temperatures above 40°C (104°F).
The companies also presented the HAUSER XL Rack, extending Epta’s refrigeration power pack portfolio into industrial applications, including food production, storage, logistics and distribution. The system features configurable frames up to 12 metres (39.4 feet), expandable modules, variable-speed compressors and pre-wired electrical cabinets.
For commercial refrigeration, Epta displayed the propane-based Zenith VP Integral Air and Hauser MIRENGO Integral Air cabinets. Zenith VP Integral Air features a 100 mm (3.9-inch) reduction in depth, a 13% increase in Total Display Area compared with the previous Integral series and energy savings of 28%. The energy class B cabinet uses a single refrigeration circuit and compressor for its six-door L375 configuration. MIRENGO Integral Air is designed for frozen-food applications and features panoramic glazing, LED lighting and optional Infinity doors.
Epta also introduced MyEpta, a digital platform providing access to technical information, assets and services through a single interface. The platform offers a real-time overview of refrigeration solutions without requiring connectivity and supports maintenance planning and investment decisions. The combined EptaTechnica and Hauser offering also includes refrigeration systems based on natural refrigerants, supported by energy consumption forecasting and return-on-investment analysis.
“The integration of Hauser into the Epta Group represents a significant step forward in the evolution of the Company’s value proposition, creating a more comprehensive platform for supporting clients,” said Aurélien Tissot, Epta Group Marketing SR Director.
