SorCool - Chillers & Heat Pumps

SORCOOL is an expert in adsorption cooling technology and middle sized propane heat pumps. Based in Germany, we design and manufacture the most advanced adsorption cooling devices on the market. Our market ready products are based on a successful journey of the former development-oriented companies, their research and efforts to bring this technology to a reliable and long-lasting status. SORCOOL was founded end of 2024 as technology follow up of FAHRENHEIT which was built on a spin-off from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in 2002. Adsorption chillers by SORCOOL can be used wherever there is residual heat available. Our cooling technology reaches a new dimension of energy efficiency because it does not rely on electrical power for cooling. Our chillers and our adsorption modules are widely used in industrial manufacturing, for air conditioning, in data centers, in solar cooling and in various other applications. They are also ideally suited for combined heat and power plants – turning them into tri-generation units –, and they can save up to 80% of electrical energy and CO2 emissions. Our chillers operate on the principle of adsorption. Adsorption occurs when molecules of a liquid (in our case water) adhere to the surface of a solid (in our case zeolite crystals or silica gel). This causes the liquid to evaporate, generating cold. Once the solid material is saturated, heating it will cause it to release the adsorbed liquid, allowing the process to start again. Our propane heat pumps equipped with an inverter are able to produce heat and cold, can be applied solo or as an integrated device with adsorption technique. Propane inverter controlled reversible heat pumps are the most efficient and climate-friendly heat pump technology available.
