Mine cooling & ventilation solutions
From comfort cooling to optimizing equipment
We partner with industrial mining companies and contractors to provide scalable cooling and mine ventilation to regulate temperatures underground.
When you dig deep in some of the world’s harshest climates, controlling temperatures and airflow is vital to the health and safety of your teams.
Controlling temperatures and extracting contaminants is a vital way of ensuring that miners’ welfare and productivity don’t suffer – even when you’re pushing the boundaries of mining exploration and activities.
We help mining companies avoid loss of productivity due to safety risks caused by high ambient underground temperatures by delivering, installing, and commissioning mine ventilation and cooling equipment.
We understand your environment and the expected comfort standards, so you can:
- Get effective cooling even in confined spaces
- Meet your Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment obligations with confidence
- Protect your vital equipment by maintaining the ideal operating conditions
- Avoid loss of productivity due to high ambient underground temperatures
- Get emergency and contingency cooling if your usual equipment fails

What sets Aggreko apart for mine cooling and ventilation solutions? Keeping you in the safe zone
Throughout every stage of the mine lifecycle – from feasibility testing to construction, exploration, commissioning, and decommissioning – we go further. Using our rich experience working with mining companies around the world to control your environment with a solution designed around you.
- Scalable Solutions - Mines grow and shrink rapidly over time – so your equipment can’t hold you back. With a rental solution, however, you can increase or decrease the number of rental towers and chillers you need easily and efficiently for maximum cost-effectiveness.
- Everything’s Included - From equipment rental to ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and remote monitoring. We work with our partners from exploration through to production to provide technical advice and bespoke equipment packages to meet your needs.
- Increased Resilience - With affordable backup cooling equipment and air conditioners available on demand.
- Affordable and Effective - There are significant cost-savings to be had with rentals, freeing up capital that can be invested elsewhere in your operation. You won’t be liable for the cost of maintenance of spare parts – we’ll cover it all for you.
- Keeping Staff Safe - The ‘safe zone’ for working temperatures is below 30 degrees, and you need to trust your plant will achieve this all day, every day. We’ll make it easy to scale your cooling and ventilation plant to match demand and use our expertise to ensure your needs are always met.

Mining cooling & ventilation solutions across the mining lifecycle
- Air-cooled chillers to significantly reduce temperatures inside your mine down below 30 degrees for employee comfort and productivity. Our compact units range from 10 to 420 tons, so you can get the cooling you need on any scale, even where space is limited.
- Air conditioners including heavy-duty units in sizes up to 70 tons, spot coolers for targeted cooling in busy areas or where sensitive equipment is housed, and HushPac systems with variable-speed fans to keep noise to a minimum. We’ll help you get cool, clean air to wherever it needs to be without creating unnecessary cost or noise.
- Heat exchangers to displace excess heat from high-temperature processes or equipment. We provide a range of heat exchangers including standard, shell & tube, shell & plate, and fin/fan exchangers. Trust our experienced engineers to size your heat exchanger and help you control your environment.
- Cooling towers to augment or supplemental water flows around your operating environment, dissipating excess heat to keep ambient temperatures down.
- Power generation and electrical distribution to provide a dependable source of power for your comfort cooling and other equipment, even in remote locations where grid connectivity is unavailable.
