Heat exchange technology, lifecycle assessment and intelligent controls to feature at the refrigeration industry’s leading exhibition

Güntner Group, a global specialist in heat exchange technology, will showcase its latest approach to efficient, reliable and sustainable cooling at Chillventa 2026, which takes place from 13-15 October 2026 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, Germany.

The three-day event brings together companies and specialists from across the refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump sectors. Chillventa 2026 will provide a platform for manufacturers and technology providers to demonstrate developments in energy efficiency, digitalisation, refrigeration technology and thermal management.

Güntner Group will use the event to demonstrate how its technologies are designed to help customers address the increasingly complex requirements surrounding cooling system efficiency, sustainability, reliability and long-term performance.

Visitors to the Güntner Group stand will be able to explore technologies covering the selection, operation and optimisation of heat exchangers and cooling systems.

Virtual Environment demonstrates cooling technologies

As part of the Güntner Group stand, visitors will be able to explore a Virtual Environment designed to help customers visualise technologies and better understand how different cooling solutions can be applied to their specific requirements.

The interactive environment is intended to provide a more practical way of exploring cooling technologies and their potential applications.

For engineers and other decision-makers involved in refrigeration and cooling system design, understanding how individual components and technologies fit within a wider system can be an important part of selecting an appropriate solution.

The Virtual Environment will therefore provide an opportunity for visitors to examine different approaches and discuss their requirements directly with Güntner Group specialists.

Lifecycle impact made more transparent

Güntner Group will also showcase the latest version of its IMPACT Life Cycle Indicator (LCI) within the Güntner Product Configurator.

The tool is designed to help customers compare energy consumption, operating costs and CO₂ emissions from the planning stage onwards.

Considering these factors during the early stages of equipment selection can provide a broader view of the potential impact of a heat exchanger over its operating life rather than focusing solely on the initial specification or purchase cost.

Güntner’s approach is intended to make the environmental and economic impact of heat exchangers more transparent throughout their lifecycle.

This can give customers additional information when comparing different cooling solutions and assessing how equipment choices could influence operating costs and environmental performance over time.

Intelligent controls optimise thermal performance

Another focus at the Güntner Group stand will be Güntner aicore™ enhanced intelligent controls.

The control technology is designed to monitor, adapt and optimise thermal performance as operating conditions change.

Cooling systems do not necessarily operate under constant conditions. Changes in ambient temperatures, load requirements and other operating parameters can influence system performance.

Intelligent controls can respond to these changing conditions by adjusting system operation to help maintain the required thermal performance.

For customers looking to improve cooling efficiency while maintaining reliable operation, the ability to monitor and adapt system performance can be an important part of overall refrigeration and thermal management strategy.

Supporting efficient and reliable cooling

The technologies being showcased by Güntner Group reflect the wider challenges facing the refrigeration and cooling sector.

Energy efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability remain important drivers for the development of refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump technologies. Chillventa itself identifies energy efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability as key themes for the industry.

At the same time, cooling systems need to provide reliable performance over their operating life. Equipment selection therefore increasingly involves considering not only thermal performance but also operating costs, maintenance requirements, environmental impact and long-term reliability.

Güntner Group’s Chillventa programme will bring these considerations together through its heat exchange technologies, lifecycle assessment tools and intelligent control solutions.

Expertise across refrigeration and industrial cooling

Product experts from across the Güntner Group business will be available throughout Chillventa to discuss industry challenges and individual customer requirements.

The company’s presence will be relevant to visitors working across refrigeration, data centres, climate solutions and industrial applications, where efficient and reliable cooling can be central to system performance.

Data centre cooling in particular presents demanding thermal management requirements as computing infrastructure generates significant and continuously changing heat loads. Industrial applications can also require cooling systems capable of maintaining controlled temperatures under demanding operating conditions.

The opportunity to speak directly with product specialists will allow visitors to explore how different heat exchanger and cooling technologies can be applied to specific requirements.

Michael Bauer, CSO, said: “Our customers are operating in an increasingly complex environment, balancing efficiency, sustainability, reliability and long-term performance. At Chillventa, we want to show how Güntner supports them throughout that journey, from selecting the right solution and understanding lifecycle impact, to optimising performance in operation.”

He adds: “Whether they work in refrigeration, data centers, climate solutions or industrial applications, visitors will be able to speak directly with our experts, explore our latest innovations, discover practical ways to address their real-world cooling challenges and enjoy our Bavarian hospitality. We look forward to welcoming customers and partners from around the world to our stand.“

Güntner Group at Chillventa 2026

Chillventa 2026 takes place from Tuesday 13 October to Thursday 15 October 2026 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, Germany. The exhibition opens from 09:00 to 18:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday and from 09:00 to 17:00 on Thursday.

The Chillventa CONGRESS takes place on Monday 12 October, the day before the main exhibition opens, with a programme covering technical and scientific developments across the refrigeration and related sectors.

Güntner Group will be exhibiting in Hall 1, Stand 1-211 throughout the three-day exhibition.

The company will use its presence at Chillventa to demonstrate how heat exchange technology, lifecycle assessment and intelligent controls can work together to help customers address the demands of modern cooling systems.

For visitors, the stand will provide an opportunity to explore Güntner’s latest technologies, discuss specific refrigeration and cooling requirements with product experts and examine approaches to improving efficiency, sustainability and long-term system performance.
