// Stainless steel chiller RFI 750 in the shipbuilding industry //
Example of stainless steel chiller RFI 750 designed to withstand the worst storms at sea!
Four RFI 750 water stainless steel chillers are about to be delivered to REEL, a company based in La Rochelle.
This company, specializing in industrial lifting equipment, is regularly involved in maritime projects (platforms, docks, ships, submarines, etc.).
This is the case for this project, where our four units will cool two lifting cranes installed on offshore construction vessels.
This project is a prime example of our expertise: it involves taking our standard RFI 750 chillers and adding a range of protective finishes.
These units feature: stainless steel chassis, stainless steel cable glands, stainless steel control cabinet, stainless steel flanges, and epoxy varnish on welds.
This ensures they can withstand harsh marine conditions while providing efficient cooling.
Thank you to REEL for their trust and for their recent visit to our premises, alongside our Engineering and Compliance teams.
