AxiEco: Efficient and save – ebm-papst

Patrick Stern, Product & Market Manager, ebm-papst

The new axial fan range AxiEco in the sizes from 300 to 500 mm is extremely efficient and so it reaches even the requirements for the next step of the EU Eco-Design Directive for fans. Furthermore, due to its characteristic the AxiEco is very quiet and can handle high back pressures. Fitted with special motors and motor electronics the AxiEco fans can be used for cooling equipment and heat pumps with flammable refrigerants.

11:30 am CET/Auditorium 2

CO2 Transcritical Technology in Industrial Refrigeration Systems - Dorin

Giacomo Pisano, Sales Manager, Dorin

Carbon dioxide (CO2 - R744) has been identified as one of the best alternatives to HFCs in many market sectors, this thanks to its environment benign features and its excellent performance in many applications. However, due to lack of large CO2 components carbon dioxide has not yet penetrated the industrial refrigeration market and ammonia (R717) has been in so far the preferred choice for larger duties (e.g. > 500 kW). However, though ammonia is an excellent refrigerant, its application may lead to legislative and efficiency drawbacks linked to its safe use. Nevertheless, new large CO2 transcritical compressors are now available leading to CO2 systems consistent cost reduction. This work deals with a performance and cost comparison between the CO2 and ammonia execution of a large refrigeration systems. The systems layouts are described as well as the CO2 efficiency achieved with parallel compression and ejectors.

12:00 pm CET/Auditorium 1

Long-term chiller solutions: different refrigerant characteristics and their impacts - Teko

Andreas Meier, Managing Director, TEKO

We are taking a look at different refrigerants used for chiller applications, like HFOs, propane, ammonia and CO2 – regarding their pros and cons. What has to be considered in terms of safety, flammability or toxicity? What influences do the refrigerants have on components, maintenance and service, efficiency and cost-effectiveness? The corresponding answers are be given in our presentation by Andreas Meier. ​

12:30 pm CET/Auditorium 2  

LEAP makes access to natural refrigerants, exceptionally easy - Novum

Eoin Lennon, Head of Sustainability and Innovation, Novum

Through LEAP’s low noise, low heat rejection, optimum capacity range of plug-in freezers, the move to natural refrigeration is simple. All LEAP™ enabled freezers are carefully factory tuned prior to departure, all you need to do is plug and play on arrival and you will reap all the benefits of natural refrigeration combined with the additional benefits of LEAP™ technology. If reducing energy usage, achieving sustainability targets, reducing labour routines, maintaining food integrity, achieving agile store design and minimising maintenance costs is of interest to you, this presentation is not to be missed.

1 pm CET/Auditorium 1

A perfect fit: Good (organic) food and cool stores – RefNat4LIFE

Antoine Azar, Managing Director, Sustainable Solutions, & Project Manager / Senior Expert, HEAT

Collin Bootsveld, Project Engineer, Colruyt Group

Britta Paetzold, Project Manager, HEAT

Why are natural refrigerants a perfect fit for small, organic retailers? It's as simple as that: combined with high energy efficiency, they reduce a store's heating and cooling GHG emissions to a minimum, forming a key component of a store or retailer’s sustainability strategy. The Refrigerants, Naturally! 4 LIFE (RefNat4LIFE) project supports the switch to climate friendly cooling in Europe’s small, organic food retail sector. The Belgian Colruyt Group has gained valuable experience in switching to natural refrigerants in small and large stores alike, and is encouraging others to follow suit. They are also sharing their experiences during the webinar. The Refrigerants, Naturally! association offers a platform for joint commitment in support of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants - natural refrigerants. Find out more about what the association has to offer and their vision for the future.

1:30 pm CET/Auditorium 2

The future is natural refrigerants only – Refolution 

Thomas Frank, CEO, Refolution Industriekälte

Technical refrigeration started with natural refrigerants. In the 19th century, handling natural refrigerants was challenging since the technology was not ready. Easier to handle chemical refrigerants were developed in the 1930s, but they have shown to be dangerous to the health of humans and nature. The past has shown that bringing tonnes of chemicals into the environment has a negative impact. With having established technology for natural refrigerants available there is no need for chemical refrigerants any more. After banning ODP refrigerants and phasing out HFCs (High GWP) refrigerants it is now time to use natural refrigerants only and skip the new chemical HFO refrigerants and avoid another global disaster.   

2 pm CET (8 am EDT)/Auditorium 1
