Most Cooling Systems Are “Operational” - Not Optimised

Production continues.
The system runs.
Energy bills get paid. 

Most engineering teams believe the system is already optimised. 

It rarely is. 

Legacy cooling infrastructure evolves over decades – equipment gets added, loads shift, and controls get bypassed.

The result is a system nobody fully understands, quietly consuming more than it needs to.

  • Consuming 10–30% more electricity than necessary
  • Pumping harder than required due to poor distribution
  • Run without meaningful controls
  • Lack a defined or documented design basis
  • Carrying resilience risks that only surface when something fails
Where savings are typically found
Sub-optimal setpoints & controls
42%
Condenser fouling & poor heat rejection
31%
Oversized pumps & fixed-speed drives
27%
18% Average energy saving identified across Vistech efficiency reviews

Who It’s For

  • UK manufacturing sites with 500kW+ cooling load (typically 1–50MW+)
  • Sites with £500k+ annual energy spend
  • Multi-line production environments
  • Engineering teams focused on process improvement
  • Sites operating legacy or evolved cooling infrastructure with no recent review
  • If cooling is critical to uptime and margin, this review is relevant.

What You Receive

Defined Scope. Clear Outputs. No Fluff.

Every Cooling System Efficiency Review includes:

On-site visit by a consultant engineer

A consultant engineer attends your site for a full-day assessment - no outsourcing

Full system walkthrough

Process-backwards review of the full cooling system - from your process back to the cooling system

Interviews with engineering and operational stakeholders

Structured conversations with engineering and operational teams to understand how the system is actually run

Review of current operating strategy and control approach

Assessment of current controls, set points, sequencing and operating philosophy

Inefficiency Mapping

Identification of waste across distribution, pumping, controls, architecture and resilience.

High-level savings estimate

High-level quantification of energy and water saving opportunity

Savings Estimate & Capital Roadmap

Budget-level view of investment required to capture the identified opportunity

Written Report

A concise commercial and technical report structured for decision-making - not filing

What It’s Not

To make sure expectations are clear, here's what this review doesn't include.

  • Not a generic audit
  • Not a cooling tower sales pitch
  • Not a compliance exercise
  • Not a theoretical consultancy report
  • This is a commercially driven engineering assessment designed to uncover tangible value.

What Clients Typically Discover

Every site is different. But across manufacturing environments, reviews consistently identify:

10–30% electricity reduction opportunity
Pumping energy waste due to poor distribution
Control deficiencies causing unnecessary load
Disparate cooling loops that could be centralised
Hidden resilience risks
Cooling capacity constraints limiting production

The objective is not to produce paper.
The objective is to define opportunity.

The Next Step / The Ladder

What Happens After the Review?

The Efficiency Review is designed as the first step in a structured process. You only move forward when the commercial case is clear.

No. 1
Efficiency Review

Instrumented data capture to validate assumptions and build a robust business case. Only commissioned if Step 1 identifies clear opportunity.
No. 3
FEED Study
POA
Front-end engineering and design. Defined scope, capital cost, ROI model and procurement strategy.
No. 4

Full design, supply, installation and commissioning. FEED costs credited against project value.

Our Commercial Guarantee

To demonstrate our confidence in the value we deliver, we offer the following guarantee. 

If, following completion of both the System Healthcheck and the Performance Survey, no measurable efficiency improvement opportunities are identified, we will refund the full cost of these assessments. 

Should you proceed to implement the recommended solution, the full cost of all FEED services will be credited against the project order value, up to a maximum of 10 percent of the contracted project sum. 

Where specialist disciplines or third-party consultants are required, their fees are excluded from the guarantee and from any payback calculations. All such costs will be clearly identified and itemised within the proposal prior to commitment.

If we do not identify tangible value, you do not pay. 
If you proceed with the project, your FEED investment is fully offset against the capital cost. 

Terms and conditions apply.

To qualify, a project order must be placed within 12 months of completion of the Performance Survey. 

Engineering Depth. Commercial Focus. Real Delivery Experience.

We've seen what poorly optimised cooling systems cost businesses. This review exists because we know what's possible - and we want to prove it.

We do not sell equipment.
We engineer systems.

  • 40+ years cooling system design, installation and commissioning experience
  • In-house CAD and design capability
  • Process-first engineering approach
  • Proven across food manufacturing, defence, pharmaceutical and large-scale industrial sites
  • Commercially focused - not theoretical
