Fenagy
Fenagy designs and manufactures industrial heat pumps, chillers and combined heating and cooling systems based on natural refrigerants – CO2 and hydrocarbons.
Each of our systems are custom-built and factory-assembled, and all our units are modular and scalable and can be integrated in both new and existing facilities.
But that’s not all. We deliver more than just heat pumps – we deliver full projects. We take part in the entire process – from initial design through to commissioning. Our job is not done until the customer has a fully commissioned, well-functioning heat pump or cooling system.
Heating and cooling account for nearly half of the total energy consumption within the EU, and large-scale heat pump and cooling systems can make a real difference in decarbonising the sector. Our solutions provide PFAS-free, environmentally friendly heating and cooling and are designed to operate on electricity from renewable sources.
