This model belongs to Blueway’s Energy Storage Air Conditioning series, developed under our Customized HVAC Fabrication capability.
Battery cells inside a sealed container generate heat continuously during charge and discharge. If temperature rises above the recommended window, capacity fades faster, cell imbalance increases, and thermal runaway risk grows. If temperature drops too low in winter, charging must be limited or stopped entirely.
Ordinary comfort air conditioners are not built for this job. They cannot handle 55°C ambient, they are not designed for 24/7 unattended operation, and they usually lack the communication and alarm functions a BESS controller needs.
The 5kW Container Energy Storage Air Conditioning is built specifically for this environment.
Closed-loop cooling keeps the internal compartment within ±1°C of the set point, even when the container is fully loaded and outdoor temperature is high.
With the appropriate configuration, the unit supports operation from -40°C to +55°C. Low-ambient cooling, heating and anti-freeze logic can be enabled for cold regions.
Dehumidification function reduces condensation on busbars, terminals and PCBs — a common cause of insulation faults in coastal and tropical projects.
C5-M anti-corrosion treatment is available for coastal, offshore and chemical-industrial sites. Protection level can be specified as IP54 or IP55.
RS485 Modbus RTU is standard. TCP/IP, SNMP and dry-contact alarm outputs are optional, so the unit can report status directly into the site SCADA or energy management platform.
Industrial-grade compressor, EC fan, self-diagnosis and multi-layer protection allow continuous operation without on-site attendance.
All values are typical and for reference only. Final specifications depend on the confirmed datasheet and project requirements.
| Application Scenario | Recommended Configuration |
|---|---|
| Small container BESS, mild climate | 5kW cooling, IP54, RS485, single-phase |
| Middle East / Gulf, high ambient | 5kW cooling, high-ambient compressor, IP55, three-phase |
| Coastal or offshore site | 5kW cooling, C5-M anti-corrosion, IP55 |
| Cold region, year-round operation | 5kW cooling + heating, low-ambient kit, anti-freeze logic |
| High humidity / tropical | 5kW cooling + dehumidification, IP55 |
| Integrated with site SCADA | TCP/IP or SNMP communication option |
Is 5kW enough for my container?
It depends on container size, battery heat load, insulation and maximum ambient temperature.
Send us your project data and we will confirm the required capacity. For larger containers, multiple
units or higher-capacity models can be used.
Why R410A instead of a newer refrigerant?
R410A is mature, widely available and well supported by service networks worldwide. For projects
with specific refrigerant requirements, alternative options can be discussed.
Can the unit both cool and heat?
Yes. Heating function is available as an option for cold-climate projects.
Can it work at 55°C ambient?
Yes, with the high-ambient configuration. Please specify the maximum ambient temperature of your
site when requesting a quotation.
Can it communicate with our BESS controller?
RS485 Modbus RTU is standard. TCP/IP and SNMP are optional. Protocol details can be provided for
integration testing.
Do you support OEM / ODM?
Yes. Blueway provides OEM, OBM and ODM services with customized branding, voltage, dimensions,
protection level and control logic.
For different cooling requirements, Blueway also offers the Elevator Air Conditioner for machine-room and shaft applications, the Condensing Unit for refrigeration and process cooling, and the Evaporative Condensing Chiller for large-capacity industrial sites.
