Thermocold and plant engineering for extreme climates: The New Mont Blanc cable way

An artwork of world-class engineering, the new complex ropeway Pontal d'Entreves, Mont Frey and  Helbronner, with its new stations for the visitors, are seeing the light on the highest and famous mountain  of  Europe.

The great attention and sensitivity of the designers, Francesco Pastoret Industrial Expert of  Consulting Company Pastoret of Aosta, and Dott. Eng. Paolo Oliaro of Consulting Advanced Engineering Milan, towards respect of an environment among the most pristine, and a standard of "Zero energy Builiding ",in full harmony and cooperation with Thermocold, has oriented the choice towards cooling products with a reduced environmental impact by replacing the most polluting and uncomfortable diesel boilers with pumps heat-cycle electric, DUO FULL INVERTER, able to work with the most stringent temperature conditions encountered at high altitudes such as those of the stations of the new cable cars. Particular attention was given during the design to minimize the energy loss with the use of materials with high insulation, large photovoltaic surfaces and heating systems with heat pumps and heat recovery. Glass and steel are predominant in the structures, with panoramic large areas stations and rotating cabins fully glazed and spherical. The cabins will be equipped with a system that will allow the rotation on themselves allowing visitors to take advantage of the 360 ° view of all the zones crossed.
