What Makes Us Different
Engineer-Led Designs For Optimal Efficiency
Cooling that works with the environment, not against it
Systems are engineered to take advantage of available ambient conditions, reducing mechanical cooling demand while maintaining stable temperatures and predictable system behaviour.
Site-Specific Assessment, Not Assumptions
Design decisions based on real conditions
We assess local climate, operating hours, and load profiles to determine where ambient cooling adds value — and where it doesn’t — ensuring the system performs as intended year-round.
Continuity Built In for Changing Conditions
Integrated hire connections for flexibility
Integrated hire connections allow temporary cooling to be connected quickly if ambient conditions or operating demands change, protecting uptime without reconfiguration.
Revolutionising Industrial Cooling With Ambient Systems
NovaCool Solutions Ltd ambient cooling systems reduce cooling energy demand, lower operating risk, and improve long-term system efficiency by using naturally low outdoor air temperatures to reject heat. The outcome is stable process cooling with far less reliance on mechanical refrigeration, delivering measurable reductions in electrical load and carbon impact.
​
Designed for UK climate conditions, these systems provide effective cooling for much of the year without compressor operation, protecting uptime while cutting operating overheads. When demand exceeds ambient capability, systems can be supported through industrial chiller hire, giving manufacturers the flexibility to manage seasonal peaks without permanent cost or infrastructure burden
How Ambient Cooling Systems Work
Ambient cooling systems cut energy demand by replacing compressor runtime with free cooling whenever outdoor temperatures allow. When ambient conditions fall below a defined set point, heat is rejected directly from process water via air-side heat exchangers or dry air coolers—no compressors, no refrigerant compression, no wasted power.
​
As conditions change, intelligent controls automatically blend or hand over to mechanical cooling to maintain precise temperatures. The outcome is stable process control with dramatically lower electrical load, smooth transitions between modes, and no operator babysitting. Over a year, this delivers consistent uptime, predictable performance, and maximum efficiency from the UK climate—especially for facilities running 24/7.
Key Benefits Of Choosing Ambient Cooling
Ambient cooling delivers clear operational outcomes: lower energy demand, improved system efficiency, and reduced reliance on mechanical cooling. During cooler months, chiller runtime can be reduced by up to 80%, cutting electrical load and easing stress on compressors when demand is highest.
​
By shifting heat rejection to ambient air, systems experience less mechanical duty and more stable operating conditions, supporting longer equipment life and more predictable maintenance planning. At the same time, reduced energy use directly supports carbon-reduction objectives and aligns with UK environmental commitments.
​
With optional real-time monitoring and energy reporting, engineers gain continuous visibility of performance, enabling optimisation throughout the year and ensuring the system delivers measurable results—not just theoretical efficiency.
Tailored Solutions For Diverse Industries
Every industrial site operates differently, so ambient cooling systems are engineered to deliver the right balance of energy reduction, reliability, and control for each application. Whether supporting process cooling loops, plastics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or food production, systems are configured to perform consistently under real operating conditions.
​
Detailed site analysis ensures each solution delivers maximum benefit at your location. Integration with existing plant infrastructure is straightforward, while remote access tools provide continuous visibility of system operation. From initial consultation through installation and ongoing support, NovaCool delivers ambient cooling solutions that meet strict standards for safety, compliance, and long-term cost efficiency.
