When KONSUM Optimal-Kauf eG, the owner and operator of an all-new Edeka supermarket in the German town of Erxleben, required an environmentallycompliant cooling and heating system for the store, it called on the expertise of Limburg-based refrigeration specialist KMW.
Heat pumps are seen as a major solution for decarbonising the energy market on the way to achieving Net Zero by 2050.
Combined with using a renewable energy source they will help reduce the impact of Climate Change, lower carbon footprint whilst also reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Their main advantage is they are very energy efficient, providing up to 4kW of heating energy for every 1kW of electrical energy consumed.
Low GWP Opteon™ refrigerants are ideal for use in many different applications ranging from heat pumps to low temperature refrigeration. A recent example is in crop storage where retailers not only expect their suppliers to produce quality products but also to operate with the best environmental credentials.
Standards, safety and training will be more important than ever, whichever refrigerant you choose. The purpose of the F-Gas regulation is to drive the industry to use lower GWP refrigerants, but as many of the low GWP options have different safety requirements, successful implementation will demand changes in the way we work. Are you prepared for this?
The first question should really be "do you have refrigerant strategy?" If the answer is “no”, you are probably wondering why you need one now.
Having previously successfully navigated the changes from either CFCs, HCFCs or the more recent move from high GWP HFCs like R-404A to lower GWP refrigerants such as R-448A or R-449A, you are probably thinking the next phase of the transition to lower GWP will be just as straight forward, but that may be a big mistake. The refrigerant landscape is about to change again, but this time it is going to be different...
In a recent interview with the ACR Journal, Climalife UK Marketing Manager, Mel Summers, talks about here career and how she got into the cooling industry.
With today’s buzzword being energy efficiency due to the rising energy costs, there are also signs that our industry is starting to consider lifetime ownership costs, which includes the, often overlooked, cost of running the equipment in favour of only considering the initial capital expenditure.
