After the success of ATMOsphere Asia in Tokyo in February, the next event in our annual ATMOsphere series is ATMOsphere Europe 2016. This year, the conference is leaving its usual home of Brussels and heading to Barcelona. With just three weeks to go, the programme is being updated daily. The final selection of case studies covers a wide variety of applications.
With ATMOsphere Europe making its debut outside of Brussels, its home for the past seven conferences, the Crowne Plaza hotel in Barcelona will play host to industry leaders and expert speakers on 19-20 April. Joining an already impressive line-up of expert speakers in policy, market-trend and end-user sessions are presenters of technology case studies.
The presentations will cover a range of different technologies, with a focus on natural refrigerants used in a variety of applications. The following case studies will be presented over both days of the conference:
The next generation of commercial CO2 refrigeration systems, Sascha Hellmann, Carrier Commercial Refrigeration
This case study focuses on real-life examples of the next generation of commercial CO2 refrigeration systems in supermarkets. The presentation will reveal the results of an energy analysis and discuss the optimal system configuration for hot and cold ambient temperatures.
CO2 refrigeration system for convenience stores in Europe, Hidekazu Tachibana, Panasonic
The case study will show operational results from Panasonic’s CO2 transcritical solutions for smaller stores. Efficiency and system analysis will show the differences and advantages compared to existing traditional systems. The presentation will show the main solutions and challenges encountered when using these CO2 systems to achieve high efficiency and reliability in the European market. Among the key topics to be discussed are cost reduction, product improvements and training of installers.
HVAC integration building management with CO2 transcritical technology, Francesco Mastrapasqua, EPTA
The case study will examine the latest advancements in HVAC integration using CO2 transcritical technology in Europe. It will present an in-depth analysis of the energy efficiency, capital cost, payback, net present value and environmental benefits of using CO2 refrigeration for environmentally sustainable buildings. Extensive data will be presented to explain the reasons to increase use of CO2 refrigeration systems compared to R404-refrigerated stores.
Reach-in cabinets running with propane, Frédéric Guy, Tecumseh Products Company
In this case study, the efficiency of R290 will be compared to R404A. Following F-Gas compliance, the thermodynamical refrigerant comparison will also take into account the design cost of the two components. The presentation will include laboratory test results of the compressor, and reach-in test results for coefficient of performance (COP), cooling capacity and system temperature, all of which show the optimised design of the R290 system.
Supermarket with CO2 refrigerant and refrigeration-air conditioning integration, Javier Atencia, Tewis
The case study focuses on installations created in Spain by the ALDI supermarket chain. The facilities comprise efficient fully CO2-based solutions and include technological advances in the thermodynamic cycle, featuring cutting-edge technologies, solutions and systems developed by Tewis in recent years.
Tewis has fitted over 500 supermarkets in Spain with air conditioning-refrigeration integration, supporting their energy efficiency objectives with control and monitoring in facilities that integrate different systems.
MagFreeG Project: Accelerating the deployment of refrigerant gas alternatives thanks to European Union initiatives, Vincent Delecourt, Cooltech Applications
This case study will examine the replacement of HFCs with a green alternative – magnetic cooling. Granted by the European Commission, the MagFreeG project has been managed by Cooltech Applications since July 2014. It is part of efforts led by the EU to reach the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030.
The main goal of the project is to accelerate and support the deployment of innovative alternatives to HFCs in the HVAC&R sector. The talk will highlight how European market stakeholders (OEMs, end users) will benefit from the technology to find new areas of improvement and differentiation for their refrigeration systems.
The presentation will also touch upon the commitment of large organisations, such as the European Commission or BPI (Public investment bank) in France, to create an influential network that fosters innovation and the implementation of green alternatives to HFCs.
Energy-saving effect of ejector technology, Jennifer Yun, DENSO Europe
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce DENSO’s ejector development and the energy savings obtained from using an ejector in CO2 refrigerant cycle products. Last year, an ejector for CO2 cycle vending machines was introduced into the Japanese market. The application of CO2 refrigerant vending machine is a joint development with Fuji Electric for Coca-Cola vending machines in Japan.
DENSO developed an ejector for the CO2 refrigerant cycle, whose uniqueness comes from a system using the ejector outlet temperature to realise stable cycle control, resulting in 25% energy savings in annual power consumption.
A common problem when using the traditional refrigerant cycle with expansion valve is the loss of the energy generated by the refrigerant under high pressure during the expansion process. To recover this energy that is typically lost, DENSO developed the ejector. Today it uses two types of ejector cycle, EJECS I and EJECS II.

About ATMOsphere Europe 2016
The 7th annual ATMOsphere Europe will be held in sunny Barcelona, Spain on 19-20 April. Besides focusing on the latest trends and achievements in the field of natural refrigerant technologies, the two-day event will explore untapped business opportunities and reveal future perspectives in the HVAC&R industry.
ATMOsphere Europe 2016 offers participants a comprehensive programme of end user and supplier panels and policy, market trends and technology case study sessions, without forgetting the popular workshops and unparalleled networking opportunities. The event is expected to attract over 300 industry experts, making ATMOsphere Europe 2016 a unique opportunity to meet and create partnerships with leading end users, contractors, suppliers and government representatives.
