Specialty lubricants: The Unsung Heroes of Cold Storage

Reliable Cooling, Measurable Energy Efficiency

Refrigeration compressors are among the largest energy consumers in industrial cooling systems and play a critical role in maintaining uninterrupted production. Under the motto “Cool solutions. Hot Savings." Klüber Lubrication will show at Chillventa 2026 in Nuremberg how specialty lubricant solutions can help refrigeration operators improve equipment reliability, maximize uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and increase energy efficiency.

“In industrial refrigeration, reliability and energy efficiency need to be considered together,” explains Mevlüt Karakışla, Global Sales Development Manager at Klüber Lubrication. “While lubricants represent only a small share of operating costs, they can have a significant impact on production reliability by reducing wear, minimizing planned and unplanned downtime, and lowering maintenance requirements. At the same time, they can help reduce energy consumption. With Klüber Energy Efficiency, we are able not only to claim energy savings, but to prove them.”

Klüber Energy Efficiency is based on a TÜV SÜD-certified process that complies with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). Combined with high-performance lubricant solutions, the approach can help refrigeration operators to achieve measurable energy savings supported by a standardized and transparent methodology.

Klüber Lubrication will present its solutions for industrial refrigeration applications at Chillventa from October 13 to 15, 2026, at NürnbergMesse, Hall 4, Booth 4-522.
