Industrial Refrigeration Consensus 2004: environment, application, design. Summary of the Workshop.

Date: 1900.01.01

Summary

This summary of the two-day workshop consisting of 7 conferences organised by Danfoss, held in Sønderborg, Denmark, contains the statements reached through discussions focusing on the industrial refrigeration issues. The aim of the event was to identify the trends and challenges affecting industrial refrigeration in the years ahead. Headlines: ammonia will continue as main refrigerant; work will focus on lower ammonia charges and tight systems; CO2 will be used in low temperature applications; there is no general driver for transcritical CO2 systems within industrial refrigeration and heavy investments for transcritical component development will be needed if demands arise; R723 will not be a significant refrigerant in industrial refrigeration; HCFCs do not have a future in industrial refrigeration and HFCs will be reduced wherever possible; today, initial investment is clearly more important, but lifetime cost will become more important; the price of energy is too low to drive significant work on energy efficiency; significant problems prevent DX plate heat exchangers from emerging as a solution to reduce charge and cost; the need for innovative pump design i.e. speed, flow, regulation, head.
