Refrigeration and air-conditioning conference provides information on possible grants for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems

WTT-Expo 2014 (taking place at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center between 8 and 10 April 2014) is being held under the patronage of Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter, member of the Bundestag and Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). Simplified considerably since January 2014, the revised grant procedure for promotion of efficiency-improving measures for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems will also be presented by Wolfgang Müller from the Energy Efficiency department of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building & Nuclear Safety within the framework of the refrigeration and air-conditioning conference being organised by the Association of German Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Companies (VDKF) during the WTT-Expo on 10 April 2014. Companies can now apply for grants for compression-type refrigeration systems with 5 to 150 kW power input, compression-type air-conditioning systems with 10 to 150 kW power input and adsorption systems with five to 500 kW cooling capacity (as long as the heat has been produced by a CHP plant or waste heat is used).

Other subjects to be discussed during the refrigeration and air-conditioning conference will include adsorption cooling technology, ice storage, energy-efficient refrigeration engineering in industrial applications, efficient power control concepts for reciprocating compressors, possible industrial applications for high-temperature heat pumps and systems that are energy-efficient as a result of choosing suitable heat exchanger technologies.

About WTT-Expo – Trade Fair for Industrial Heating and Cooling Technology

The 5th WTT-Expo – Trade Fair for Industrial Heating and Cooling Technology – will be offering an ideal information platform for energy-efficient optimisation of systems in process engineering applications between 8 and 10 April 2014, with its core components – heat exchangers, heat transfer technology and industrial waste heat recovery. It is being held at Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center in conjunction with the 5th PaintExpo – the Leading International Trade Fair for Industrial Coating Technology – and the 1st HallTec – the Trade Fair for Technical Building Equipment in Industrial and Commercial Building Construction – for the first time this year.
