Explanation:
Could be they use "koelpark" as in "wagenpark": all the "vehicles" operating under the same ownership.

refrigeration units


Explanation:
or refrigeration facilities.

The qualification "park" is used in a strange way in Holland.

"autopark" can be a company car fleet. The car "population" of Holland is sometimes referred to as its "autopark".

"solarpark" is used by the Dutch to refer to a group of several solar panels set up to supply electricity to several properties.

Coca Cola refer to their fleet of cool drinks machines in Holland as their "koelpark".

So "koelpark" in your context will mean a collection of refrigeration units IMHO.

Your text will give you a better idea of what this "koelpark" consists of, however I doubt that it is airconditioning units as nowadays they also heat properties - more likely to be a number of refrigerators or the like..
