Trane EaaSy Long-Term Rental Solutions for Tourism and Industry in Egypt

Background

Trane Egypt delivered a chiller rental solution for two major customers in the tourism and process sectors. By applying the Trane EaaSy (Equipment-as-a-Service) model, the projects reduced energy costs, addressed capex limitations, and ensured long-term reliability through turnkey rental agreements.

The Challenge

Two Egyptian operators faced similar challenges: high running costs from ageing systems and limited capital budgets for replacement. Both needed reliable cooling systems that could operate efficiently under local conditions while offering financial flexibility to preserve cash flow.

Industry: Tourism (resort) and Process Industry (manufacturing)
 Application: Long-term cooling solutions via rental chillers and accessories

Challenges We Faced
  • High energy costs: Old chillers created excessive running expenses and electricity bills.
  • Capex constraints: Both customers wanted to avoid heavy capital expenditure on new equipment.
  • Risk of alternatives: One customer considered shifting to local equipment providers with limited service reliability.
  • System reliability: Cooling performance needed to be improved while maintaining production and service quality.
Considerations for the Replacement Plan
  • Offering financial flexibility by converting capex into predictable opex.
  • Ensuring energy efficiency through new-generation chillers.
  • Providing full turnkey solutions with pumps, AHUs, and piping where needed.
  • Supporting customers with long-term agreements tailored to their business needs.
  • Delivering continuous technical support and service reliability through Trane Egypt.
