Marine HVAC and refrigeration systems

Established in 1947, Bronswerk Group has built a solid reputation as a leader in marine HVAC and Refrigeration Systems. With over 250 years of cumulative engineering experience we have resources who can respond to specific needs whether in air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, heating, fire protection, and cooling plants.

The company prides itself in leveraging the latest technologies to meet clients' requirements and, if it has not been developed, we have the ability to innovate and think outside the box to design a solution. This rare combination of skills has made Bronswerk Group an international leader in marine HVAC-R.

Customised military HVAC and refrigeration systems

Bronswerk's products and systems meet the highest military standards for performance, shock resistance, noise and vibration reduction and space optimization. Marine HVAC-R and Special Projects have been engineered for military clients worldwide, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Pakistan, Turkey, Bahamas, Thailand, Mexico, and Indonesia.

Bronswerk continues to pioneer innovative research and development on:

• Shock-resistant and vibration-compliant systems
• NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) or CBR-D (Chemical Biological Radiological - Defense) units design and manufacture
• Chillers (using an oil-free, frictionless, magnetic bearing compressor)
• Custom chillers that meet shock, noise and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) standards
• Reverse cycle "heat machine"
• Refrigeration condensing units
• Domestic refrigeration installations

We have also developed a number of special systems which integrate products (many designed and manufactured by Bronswerk) to meet other specific needs, such as:

• Radar cooling units and central station units (CSU)
• Electronic equipment cooling systems
• Environmental cooling units (ECU) for ADATS vehicles
• Smoke detection, fire detection and fire-fighting systems
• Blast protection systems
• EMI protection
• Barometric controllers

Customised marine HVAC and refrigeration systems

Engineering excellence and innovation are two of our key strengths. Our team of engineers have accumulated experience in markets around the globe and our knowledge of HVAC-R systems for marine environments is unsurpassed in the industry. Bronswerk engineers work to meet each individual client's needs, whether it's an HVAC-R system for a tug, ferry, passenger vessel or tanker. Small- and large-scale projects receive equal priority and customer care. Our team of engineers, detail designers, project managers and site supervisors is at your service.

At Bronswerk all our systems are low-noise and low-vibration, with superior pitch and roll tolerance. Lightweight, our HVAC-R systems represent the most solid technical package at the most competitive price.

Customised offshore HVAC and refrigeration systems

Offshore HVAC-R and Special Projects have been engineered for locations worldwide, including drilling barges, semi-submersible drilling platforms and FPSOs off USA, Korea, Canada, Norway and Russia. BRONSWERK Group has partnered on the Hibernia, Sable Island, Terra Nova, Petrodrill and North Sea projects, among others.

Its HVAC-R systems maintain designated levels of temperature, air change rate, humidity, fresh air quality and pressure. They provide cooling for high internal heat-gain spaces, and are quiet and low-vibration. Our products are compact and designed for platform space optimization. Equipment exposed to extreme weather is constructed of stainless steel, marine-grade aluminum or titanium to ensure longevity. High-efficiency louver filtration systems are installed to remove the salt, water and dirt particles that can be present in offshore environments.
