Star Refrigeration has designed a groundbreaking renewable energy heat pump system to serve a military base in Norway.

The Glasgow-based cooling and heating specialist, with Norwegian refrigeration partner Norsk Kulde, has just installed the Neatpump system at the Ramsund Naval Base. Located in the northern county of Troms, the coastal facility is used for Norwegian Army and Royal Norwegian Navy vessel repairs and is also a Special Forces base.

Star’s Neatpump is an innovative ammonia heat pump plant that extracts heat from seawater in Ramsund’s harbour. A glycol loop submerged in the harbour helps provide hot water and heating to all buildings on the base.
