Thermax Cooling Division Thermax pioneered absorption cooling technology in India The division offers absorption chillers that work on steam, hot water or are fired directly on fuels like natural gas, diesel etc. Today Thermax absorption chillers are globally popular with over 3000 chillers supporting industrial and commercial units internationally.
Economic progress requires convenient and affordable forms of energy Energy is cause of most damaging and intractable environmental problems Challenge is to meet energy/economy needs without disrupting environment Sustainable development = means and end are consistent.
Energy Environment and Economy
Average temperature of earth is rising Up 1.2 degree in last 100 years, 0.9 in last 30yrs 12 hottest years since 1860, all after 1980, 5 after 1990
Evidence is unrefutable: Evaporation & rainfall on the increase Glaciers are retreating Sea ice & snow cover are shrinking
Climate Change Evidence
Sustainable ‘GREEN’ Technology
An investment in a solar energy system delivers the following benefits:
Solar is a fixed cost hedged against rising energy costs. Solar provides a compelling return on investment and payback as low as 3 years in some cases. Solar energy systems are highly reliable and have low maintenance costs. Solar is a clean, completely silent energy generation technology.
Thermax + Solar = Advantage Customer
Core Strengths Thermax banks on its major strengths – the company's extensive and
varied experience with industrial processes its expertise in application R&D, and its trained and dedicated manpower.
