Chillventa Connecting Experts: The expert gathering

Energy-efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability are still the driving forces in the development and refinement of products and systems for refrigeration, AC & ventilation and heat pumps.

What are the trends for compressor performance figures? What efficiency ratings can ventilators achieve? What is happening on the market for low-GWP refrigerants? What are some of the state-of-the-art strategies for making simultaneous use of cooling and heating?

Key themes include both the use and prevention of waste heat. The circular economy – involving more than just treated refrigerants – is the new challenge.
