Our History

Where We Started

While researching and testing various types of heat rejection systems in metal melting environments, hybrid adiabatic technology emerged as a viable, but underutilized approach to cooling. Adiabatic cooling systems are widely utilized in Europe as a result of regulation and are one of the few instances in which regulation gave way to a more economical and efficient technology.

Using this knowledge, the NIMBUS team extended its engineering expertise and problem solving skills, creating the HyprCool hybrid adiabatic cooling system for EMSCO. This allowed EMSCO to expand beyond induction melting customers to serve all businesses that use induction heating in their processes.

Serving an Emerging Market

After manufacturing exclusively for EMSCO, NIMBUS looked beyond induction melting and launched its own hybrid adiabatic cooling system that can serve any facility or application — the VIRGA™ III™.

Before initial release, the NIMBUS research and development team spent five years conducting rigorous testing on the VIRGA III in one of the harshest environments in the world – metal melting facilities.

While the HyprCool is manufactured exclusively for induction-based operations, the VIRGA III is sold to all other markets including industrial and public facility applications.
