World’s leading exhibition for refrigeration technology, Chillventa will run in Nuremberg from October 08 to 10. The Chillventa Congress, will take place one day before, i.e., on October 07. According to me, this is one of the best global platforms to exchange the most updated knowledge in our field. The congress will focus on new ideas and developments based on four basic themes.
Under the theme ‘ASERCOM & EPEE Symposium’, “The R-AC-HP Industry: Shaping a net Zero-Emissions World” will be the topic for discussion. This will include specifics on implementing the F-Gas Regulation; the latest developments relating to PFAS; the interplay between environmentally friendly design, sustainability and legislative requirements; technological and geopolitical challenges on the way toward net-zero emissions etc.
Under the theme ‘Eighth Innovation Day for Refrigeration Technology’– The Bitzer Chair for Refrigeration, Cryogenics and Compressor Technology at the Dresden University of Technology, in conjunction with the Deutscher Kälte- und Klimatechnischer Verein e.V. (German Society of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, DKV) and the Informationszentrum Wärmepumpen und Kältetechnik (Information Centre on Heat Pumps and Refrigeration, IZW) will present their current plans and research projects.
Under the theme ‘Heat Pump Technologies’, there will be a series of presentations by the Information Centre on Heat Pumps and Refrigeration (IZW) on innovations and trends in heat pump technologies, the speakers will delve deep into themes such as energy-efficiency in industrial drying; heat pumps in a circular economy; pure coolants vs. zeotropic mixtures in heat pumps; safety with combustible coolants; steam compressors for heat pumps; thermal energy storage; and smart heat pumps.
Under the theme ‘Data Centres,’ organized by the German Society of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (DKV), the focus will be on sustainable solutions for the energy-efficient cooling of data centres using waste heat. This will cover the challenges posed by the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG); water-cooling as a heat supply; the current status of air-cooling; the new trends of liquid and immersion cooling; and heat and cold storage systems for fluctuating feed-in and withdrawal.
