In this first online event of our virtual Technology Roadshow we will meet three experts from Germany:

  • A professor and book author on the subject of solar cooling. The focus will be on solar powered cold stores and options for energy storage.
  • A technical manager who has accompanied the planning and installation process of CO2 and propane-based air conditioning in an office building. We will talk about challenges and benefits of this ambitious pilot project. 
  • A developer of a special software who tells us what to consider when converting commercial refrigeration systems to propane based on 3 scenarios with different plant sizes.
