Green Coo­ling Sum­mit 2023: Green Coo­ling along the Cold Chain | Re­cap Day 2

Two days of interesting sessions with different experts, lively discussions and insightful inputs on Green Cooling along the cold chain!

Julika Schmitz and her sparring partner Dr. Daniel de Graaf opened Day 2.

This was followed by Session 3 with the experts Iwan Chandra (PT Selaras Mandiri Tehnik, AIREF),  Andrea Silva (Advansor) and Wang Guangsheng (Haier Biomedical).

In the third session of the Green Cooling Summit 2023, international representatives from the private sector presented technolgies for stationary refrigeration systems using natural refrigerants.

Iwan Chandra (PT Selaras Mandiri Tehnik, AIREF) started by explaining how his company in Indonesia produces block ice using solar power and the natural refrigerant propane (R290). Andrea Silva (Advansor) continued with a presentation of a margarine factory in Egypt that uses the natural refrigerant CO2.  Before the Q&A session, Wang Guangsheng (Haier Biomedical) shed light on the important role of Green Cooling in the health and cold chain.

The fourth sessionof the Green Cooling Summit 2023 focused on Green Cooling technologies for transport refrigeration. Dr. Jürgen Süß from ECOOLTEC introduced this topic by illustrating how Green Cooling within transport refrigeration can look like. Dr. Filip Kitanoski presented how PBX depollutes transport refrigeration by using the natural refrigerants propane in a low-charge system architecture. Jan Zeller closed the session by showing how Refolution Industriekälte GmbH uses Green Cooling technologies for ultra-low temperature (below minus 40°C) transport refrigeration.
