Client Background
Our client is a renewable energy developer in Pakistan, focused on large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects to support grid stability and renewable integration. With growing demand for reliable energy infrastructure, thermal management of battery enclosures is critical to ensuring long-term safety, performance, and efficiency.
Project Requirements & Challenges
The energy storage project faced several technical challenges:
-
High ambient temperature: Equipment needed to operate stably in outdoor environments exceeding 45°C.
-
Precision cooling: BESS cabinets required accurate temperature control to maintain optimal battery performance and lifespan.
-
Environmental protection: Air conditioners had to meet IP56 standards, providing dust and moisture resistance for reliable year-round operation.
-
Rapid deployment: The client required a short lead time to align with project commissioning schedules.
Our Solution
Cooltec supplied its 2000W industrial air conditioner, specifically optimized for BESS container and cabinet cooling.
Solution highlights:
-
Targeted cooling performance: 2000W capacity designed to stabilize cabinet temperature and protect lithium battery packs from thermal runaway risks.
-
Energy-efficient operation: High-efficiency compressor and optimized airflow design minimize power consumption, improving overall system efficiency.
-
Rugged design: IP56 protection against dust and rain ensures long-term reliability in outdoor deployment.
-
Quality assurance: Each unit underwent full-load simulation tests, replicating Pakistan’s hot climate and operational demands.
-
Engineering support: Custom integration with the client’s BESS cabinets, supported by detailed installation guidance and technical documentation.
Deployment & Implementation
The air conditioners were shipped to Pakistan and integrated into the client’s energy storage enclosures. Our technical team provided remote commissioning support to assist local engineers during installation. The units were installed smoothly and placed into operation within the client’s project timeline.
Outcome & Value
Since deployment, the 2000W air conditioners have maintained stable cooling performance, ensuring battery systems operate within their safe temperature range. Key benefits delivered include:
-
Enhanced battery safety and lifespan due to precise temperature control.
-
Uninterrupted system operation, even during peak summer heat.
-
Reduced O&M costs, as reliable thermal management minimizes the risk of downtime.
The client has expressed strong confidence in Cooltec’s cooling technology and is planning to expand deployment across future energy storage projects in Pakistan.
