This month, our sustainability spotlight falls on the Grant ORCA Closed Loop Recirculating Chiller, an innovative, energy-efficient cooling solution designed to help laboratories reduce their environmental impact and operating costs.
Engineered and manufactured in the UK using Grant’s latest refrigeration technology, ORCA replaces tap-water cooling systems, significantly reducing water consumption and utility spend. Its intelligent, adaptive cooling automatically responds to varying heat loads, delivering exceptional temperature stability of ±0.1°C while minimising energy use.
By releasing less waste heat into the laboratory, ORCA also reduces demand on air-conditioning systems, further improving energy efficiency.
Combining a quiet 49 dB operation, a compact, modern design, intuitive controls and easy integration with existing equipment, ORCA offers a practical cooling solution. Backed by a three-year warranty, it’s a smart choice for laboratories looking to improve performance while reducing their environmental footprint.
