Crane Towers, Cologne

Since the start of the development of Cologne’s Rheinau Harbor into a leading location for offices and housing, the three “Crane Towers” (Kranhäuser) have been synonymous with this ambitious project. And rightly so, because the three Crane Towers, each approximately 60 meters high, dominate Cologne’s cityscape in a similar war to the city’s Cathedral.

The unique location on the Rhine, immediate access to the city’s lively and popular southern central district and direct proximity to the heart of the city give the site its special character. In addition, Condair evaporative coolers ensure efficient cooling and low running costs.

Evaporative Cooler

Significant energy saving

Indirect evaporative cooling reduces the power requirement of a cooling machine for mechanical cooling.
Conventional cooling machines and cooling batteries can therefore be designed to be significantly smaller and more cost-effective.

In addition to this, the ongoing operating costs for building cooling are reduced.

Location-specific calculation
with myCoolblue

Using the free myCoolblue software, you can make precise calculations even if the project is still in the planning stage. In addition to the project data, the software also factors in the specific weather profile of the site based on the archive data of the German Weather Service.
