Chillventa promises special presentations

Chillventa 2012GERMANY: The organiser of the forthcoming Chillventa exhibition has revealed details of a number of special presentations at this year’s event.

Special presentation areas have been created within the exhibition space for energy-efficient data centres, commercial and industrial heat pumps and the energy inspection of air conditioning and room ventilation systems.

Energy-efficient data centres – sustainable solutions for air-conditioning will be taking place in a specially designated area in hall 7, with a focus on sustainable solutions. Areas covered will include precision air conditioning for data centres and server rooms, planning companies for designing new data centres and modernising existing ones, efficiency and GreenIT plus heat recovery.

Also in Hall 7 will be a special area dedicated to commercial and industrial heat pumps. The focus will be on presenting the advantages of heat pumps in comparison with other methods of heat generation, using the hot and cold side at the same time. Nearby, companies from the air-conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps sectors will be presenting themselves and their products. The special presentation will be supported by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) and Bundesverband Wärmepumpe (BWP) eV.

The energy inspection of air conditioning and room ventilation systems is still barely known, at least in terms of its practical implementation. Within a special area, a training line will be available where visitors can learn about the practical skills that are necessary for the inspection. Temperatures, volume flows, room air qualities and power take-ups will be measured and the mechanical energy state of the system will be evaluated on an actual system.

Chillventa takes place from October 14-16 in Nuremberg.
