Fahrenheit GmbH Information

FAHRENHEIT is a pioneer in adsorption technology. Based in Germany, we design and manufacture the most advanced adsorption cooling devices on the market. We apply innovative research to delivering energy efficient cooling solutions. Our products have made their way into hundreds of installations worldwide across a diverse range of industries and applications. FAHRENHEIT was founded in 2002 as a spin-off from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE). From the very beginning, research and technological excellence have been the pillars of our company. Our original research coupled with a keen awareness of our customers’ requirements resulted in ground breaking patents in energy solutions. We develop and manufacture innovative and efficient solutions to generate and store cold anywhere cold is needed and waste heat is available. Adsorption chillers by FAHRENHEIT 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 substantial amounts of energy and CO2 emissions in mobile applications such as cars and transport cooling. 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.
