Impending Labeling for professional and commercial refrigeration

-----------------------------------------
Impending labelling
for commercial and-------------professional refrigeration
Energy labels are already existing
They prompt the consumers to choose a product
This is a motivation for manufacturers to develop and
market energy efficient equipment
It offers comparison of specifications related to energy
efficiency and environment compatibility
They are existing for household appliances, office
equipment, buildings…
There are EU-label, Energy+ label, Blue Angel Label…
Energy Labelling is ongoing for
Commercial Refrigeration
Professional Refrigeration
and
This labelling is needed to :
Cut down
energy
consumption
Contribute to the achievement of the Europe 2020
environmental objectives (Kyoto Protocol, 1997 extended
until 2020) : avoid exceeding +2°C
Limit
greenhouse
effect
compared to global
temperature average of the pre-industrial era.
Face global
warming /
climate change
What will involve this labelling ?
Labelling documents have been drafted by the European Commission thanks to
preparatory studies and consultation with the HVACR (Heat Ventilating Air-Conditionning
and Refrigeration) industry.
Products that do not comply with minimum standards will no longer be allowed to be sold
in Europe.
There will be a classification based on the EEI (Energy Efficiency Index).

Magnetic Cooling, a way to decrease energy consumption !
•
European regulations are becoming
more stringent about ecology.
•
Environmental protection is now a
major issue in European Union.
Magnetic Cooling…
•
Providing a greener image and energy
efficiency for end users :
E = m . Cp . ΔT
Magnetic Refrigeration, getting energy from
temperature changes in a material
Magnetic Refrigeration System (MR.S), by Cooltech Applications
•
Providing differentiation needed for
O.E.Ms (Original Equipment Manufacturers)
:
 Reduced Carbon Emissions
 High Energy Efficiency
 Reduced Costs
 Safer Systems
 Noise / Vibrations Reduction
