Hispacold is presenting at Busworld in hall 5, stand 509, a new CO2 HVAC unit, and a predictive maintenance system that is based on artificial intelligence. In 2022 Hispacold achieved €54 million in sales and says it is returning to pre-pandemic revenue levels.
The electric eBreeze HVAC consists of two systems which have a reversible heat pump for producing cold and heat and an air renewal system that allows them to work with 100% fresh air. Available in multiple configurations, the e-Breeze systems reduce weight by more than 20% compared to previous Hispacold electric ranges, and they require 40% less refrigerant gas charge than previous ranges, as the Spanish company announces. The B100 CO2 unit, a new design of the environmentally friendly CO2 HVAC system for buses uses this natural refrigerant. Also it presents its range of NetiOs control panels to the sector and the Thermion range of BTMS units (battery thermal management system) which allow the battery temperature to be maintained within the optimal operational range.
On the Hispacold stand it will also be possible to see the new, smaller version of the air purifier, the mini eco3, which can treat up to 8 m3 of air, and is therefore particularly suitable for treating the volume of air around the driver of a bus, ambulance, or public service vehicle. Then there is Signum: a new predictive maintenance and efficiency system based on artificial intelligence. The Signum project aims to develop a smart system that is based on two complementary goals: to generate a maintenance system that can anticipate when a technical intervention is really necessary for a vehicle, before a breakdown occurs, in order to reduce costs and intervention times. On the other hand, the energy optimization of the operation of air conditioning equipment reduces operational costs. Besides al the new products Hispacold is celebrating this Busworld a special jubilee. Purchasing Manager Maribel Ceballos is 45 years at Hispacold. Not only that, she also was the very first woman to be hired in the factory. She started working as management secretary, and after that in logistics, planning, sales and for the last 20 years she has been in charge of purchasing. In those days it was uncommon to have women working in factories or in the bus sector. Besides this, she has been part of the Busworld history for 20 years.
