Pfannenberg Showcases BESS Solutions – EES Europe

Hamburg, Germany – 9th June 2026 – Pfannenberg, your global partner for Thermal and Signaling Solutions, will present its portfolio for safe and efficient energy infrastructure at ees Europe 2026 in Munich. As a key meeting point for the energy storage industry, ees Europe provides the ideal platform to shape and advance the future of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Pfannenberg Booth B2.440.

With more than 70 years of experience in thermal management and signaling technology, Pfannenberg is a trusted partner for industrial and energy storage applications worldwide. At this year’s ees Europe, the company will demonstrate its comprehensive portfolio of solutions designed to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Focus on next-generation Temperature Management

Next to our proven chillers in the BESS market, a key highlight of the exhibition is Pfannenberg’s latest development in thermal management: the new DTI 8000P Series, specifically designed to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern BESS applications.

Just as diverse as the battery storage systems available on the market are, so are the requirements for temperature management. Pfannenberg is known for its comprehensive portfolio of cooling units in demanding environments and with the market launch of the DTI 8000P Series, we are now able to address customer needs in the European Energy market even more precisely,” says Christoph Kähler, Global Product Manager Thermal Solutions at Pfannenberg.

The new DTI 8000P Series combines efficiency, robustness, and flexibility, offering:

  • Low ambient package – For operation down to -40°C and integrated heater​
  • Modbus communication – Equipped with Modbus RTU interface for easy machine integration​
  • ETL listed – Listed to the new UL 60335 certification with enhanced safety standards​
  • High IP rating – IP55 protection for operation in a wide range of environments​
  • F-Gas ready – Safe and regulation-compliant solution with a low-GWP refrigerant

Comprehensive safety with Signaling Solutions

In addition to thermal management, Pfannenberg will present its advanced signaling devices for BESS applications. These systems ensure clear visual and audible alarms in critical situations, supporting early hazard detection and fast response times.

Designed to meet both machinery and building safety requirements, Pfannenberg Signaling Solutions help operators comply with international standards while providing maximum flexibility for different installation scenarios. By combining high-performance devices with global certifications and application expertise, Pfannenberg enables standardized and reliable safety concepts across BESS projects worldwide.

As Battery Energy Storage Systems continue to scale in size, complexity, and criticality, signaling must be considered an integral part of the overall safety architecture from the earliest design stage. At ees Europe, we demonstrate how our EN 54- and UL-certified visual and audible Signaling Solutions, combined with our 3D-Coverage planning approach and the Pfannenberg Sizing Software, help our customers achieve compliant and reliable alarm signaling – even in complex BESS applications.” says Lukas Nieland, Product Manager & Application Specialist for Signaling Solutions at Pfannenberg.

ActivCool™ DTS 5000 Series: Smarter Cooling for Industrial Environments

Industrial environments demand thermal management solutions that are powerful, safe, and easy to maintain. The new ActivCool™ DTS 5000 Series from Pfannenberg delivers on all fronts, combining advanced R513A refrigerant technology with streamlined serviceability to protect critical electronics in high-density control cabinets.

Why the DTS 5000 Series Stands OutActivCool DTS 5000 Cooling Unit Group Shot

The ActivCool™ DTS 5000 Series uses a long internal air path that draws hot air from above heat-generating components and delivers cooled air below, helping maintain uniform enclosure temperatures. A large evaporator coil supports increased airflow for high-density electrical enclosures, while a compact, side-mount design fits most 12-inch-wide cabinets for seamless panel integration.

Each unit comes standard with R513A refrigerant, helping customers meet stringent environmental regulations, including those affecting California and IT applications, and is rated A1 nonflammable for added safety.

 Built for Easy Service & Maximum Uptime

The DTS 5000 Series is engineered to simplify maintenance in demanding industrial settings. Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • External Service Access: Critical components are accessible from outside the enclosure, avoiding lockout/tagout procedures while minimizing downtime.
  • Optimized Cooling Capacities: Available in 4,700 and 8,500 BTU/hr models to cover a wide range of heat loads.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Choose between LED status indicator or digital display controller versions for viewing and adjusting settings from outside the panel.

How the DTS 5000 Compares to the DTS 3000

While the DTS 3000 Series has been a trusted solution with capacities ranging from 900 to 24,000 BTU/hr, the DTS 5000 introduces significant advancements in environmental compliance and serviceability. The DTS 5000 comes standard with environmentally friendlier R513A refrigerant and enhanced external service access, along with optimized cooling capacities specifically engineered for today’s high-density electrical enclosures.

Available in Multiple Configurations

This cooling solution handles diverse industrial environments with Type 12, Type 3R, and Type 4X protection for dusty plant floors, outdoor infrastructure, and washdown environments. From industrial control panels to harsh manufacturing floors, the DTS 5000 Series is built to protect your critical electronics.

Designed for the Future

More than just a cooling solution, the ActivCool™ DTS 5000 Series is a strategic investment in safety, efficiency, and simplified maintenance. To learn more, visit: ActivCool™ DTS 5000
