Decades of Experience
WHRL Solutions is an exciting collaboration between the USA and Scotland and draws on decades of experience in engineering and sustainable food supply chains.
Waste Heat Recovery Limited was established by Colin Thompson in Ayrshire, Scotland in April 2012 to research and develop leading edge technology in the recovery of heat energy. In November 2013 WHRL Solutions LLC was established in Texas in the USA and today we operate from our 2 bases on either side of the Atlantic.
A Note From Our Founder
“The Idea of how to do something better on heat recovery has been in my head for some time and in 2012 I built our first system. I quickly got the results I was looking for and since then I have developed the equipment for the wider market and built a great team around the product. I could not be more proud of our range of WHRL systems. Once we had the retrofit kits refined it was obvious next step to build a chiller with the WHRLflo® system ‘factory integrated’. As a service guy it also gave me the chance to address all the problems that I was seeing on dairy chillers time and time again. The service record of our chiller to date is providing that we have built a very reliable range of products”
