The Calmac acquisition is consistent with Ingersoll Rand’s strategy to help customers solve climate and industrial challenges
DAVIDSON, N.C. — Trane®, a global provider of indoor comfort systems and services and brand of Ingersoll Rand, has acquired Calmac® Corp., a privately held company specializing in cool energy technologies, including IceBank® storage tanks.
Calmac ice storage tanks are integrated with Trane commercial HVAC systems to take pressure off of the energy grid. The ice storage tanks store energy, similar to a battery, and use that energy to cool commercial buildings during times when the cost of energy is high. This reduces the strain on public utilities, reduces operating costs for building owners, and allows for better use of renewable forms of energy.
