At Chillventa 2026, Eckelmann will be showcasing its expertise as a systems architect for modern refrigeration and building management technology in Nuremberg from October 13 to 15, in Hall 6, Booth 403. The focus will be on a comprehensive system landscape ranging from high-performance cooling point controllers and refrigeration control systems to cloud-based services and cross-discipline building management.
Reliable operation, digital monitoring, and energy savings: with the new generation of Virtus Pro hardware, the Virtus Caelum digital services, and the Virtus Tectum Grid building management system. Visitors will experience a seamless technical platform for refrigeration and building automation that offers a comprehensive solution featuring control, communication, remote service, reporting, and smart building integration.
The New Generation of Virtus Pro Hardware
High functional density, compact design, reduced wiring, quick commissioning, and clear suitability for modern transcritical CO₂ systems. The VPC 5000 takes center stage at the Chillventa exhibition as a complete solution for CO₂ refrigeration systems. It natively positions and controls up to six compressors. In addition, it includes low-, medium-, and high-pressure control, gas cooler and fan control, and supports variable-speed compressors.
The VPC 5000 enables connection to heat recovery systems and, using auto-adaptive optimization strategies, adjusts cooling capacity to match actual demand. A generation of hardware that not only controls systems but also serves as the foundation for digital services, remote maintenance, and scalable system architectures.
The VPC 5000 leverages its digital capabilities through two independent Modbus channels, two independent CAN bus segments, and communication with Virtus 5 via Ethernet.
