On 10 October 2012, during the Chillventa trade fair, GIZ Proklima together with the German Federal Environment Agency is organising the 3rd International GIZ Proklima Expert's Day. Everybody is invited to discuss cooling technologies using hydrocarbon refrigerants with experts from industry, policy and research. Presentations from Indian air-conditioning manufacturer Godrej and Jordanian Petra Engineering, a panel discussion and a hands-on design workshop will round up the afternoon

With its main theme “future trends in sustainable cooling”, the 3rd International Expert’s Day will give detailed insights on how new hydrocarbon technologies work and what their advantages are.

Among the panellists will be the Indian air-conditioner manufacturing company Godrej, speaking about their new energy-efficient R290 room air conditioner, developed for the Indian market. Also part of the afternoon event will be a panel discussion on cooling needs, trends, and technology cooperation, as well as a hands-on design workshop where participants can find out what is special about room air conditioners with hydrocarbons, and a presentation about practical experiences. Some of the other highlights will be Petra Engineering talking about “rooftop air-to-air package systems with hydrocarbon refrigerants” and Frigoteam about “air conditioning and cooling systems with natural refrigerants”.
