LCA of a transport refrigeration unit and development of an HVAC&R equipment ecodesign tool.

Auteurs : BARNABE F., BENSAFI A.

Résumé

With increasing global environmental concerns and consumer awareness, HVAC&R manufacturers are faced with more constraining regulations but have opportunities to develop eco-friendly and more energy efficient products. In Europe, the Eco-design directive for energy-using products was voted in 2005 and will impose in the short term life-cycle assessments as an early and integral part of the design and manufacturing processes. The French technical centers Cetim and Cetiat, with the collaboration of HVAC&R manufacturers based in France and the Ademe environmental agency, have anticipated the enforcement of the coming rules and conducted life cycle analysis (LCA) studies on various equipments. These studies revealed that the available methodologies for LCA were time consuming and required considerable in-house resources to gather numerous information. Further, it was found out that if this information was not fully exploited for the ecodesign of products because of the lack of appropriate tools and methods. In this article, we use the example of a transport refrigeration unit to highlight the difficulties encountered in the implementation of a LCA and to justify the development of a specific ecodesign tool. Some requirements for this tool are then presented.
