Kaltra completed the modernization for all its chiller families for compliance with Tier-2 Ecodesign Directive requirements that have come into force from January 2021.
Under the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC), the EU government set a framework for the development of minimum requirements for the energy and environmental performance of energy-related products (ErP), including water chillers, throughout their life-cycle. The regulation implements in two phases – a more lenient Tier-1 will be upgraded with stricter Tier-2 following a scheduled program of action.
Although much of our chiller range was already compliant with Tier-2, we have invested increasingly in our research and development efforts to ensure all of our products conform to current legislation, including the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC) and F-Gas regulations.
Effective now, all Kaltra chillers intended for air conditioning and comfort cooling are met and exceed Minimum Efficiency Performance Standards (MEPS) for Seasonal Cooling Energy Efficiency (SCEE), Tier-2, while high-temperature process chillers have complied with Minimum Efficiency Performance Standards (MEPS) for Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR), Tier-2.
