Best practice Sectoral mitigation strategy – Transport refrigeration in South Africa
HEAT regularly applies a sectoral approach when striving to reduce emissions. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories, low-carbon roadmaps and real-life pilot projects can effectively support sector transformation and low-carbon strategies. Aiming at the reduction of emissions from refrigerated transport in South Africa, HEAT supported the GIZ project Mitigating Emissions in the Transport Refrigeration Sector in South Africa in 2013-2017, funded by the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). HEAT identified measures to reduce emissions from refrigerated transport in trucks. The switch to natural refrigerant-based cooling systems and increased efficiency of those systems led to less direct emissions from the refrigerants and less indirect emissions from diesel to operate the equipment. Together with Transfrig, the leading local manufacturer, our experts developed and tested prototypes of climate-friendly refrigeration systems with 30% less energy consumption. Contribution to climate resilience: An improved cold chain leads to better food security and less health risks associated with perishable food. Optimized logistics and more efficient refrigeration systems cause less air pollution than conventional systems. Working with local companies regarding innovative technologies enhances vocational training, job opportunities and supports local operators and technology providers in their efforts to “green” their business. Moreover, the sector strategy introduced Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system procedures that can also be applied in other sectors. …
Best practice Production conversion to natural refrigerants
The number of room air conditioners is rising quickly throughout the world and especially in developing countries with warm climates. According to IEA, there could be over 3.7 billion room ACs in use in 2050. Emissions from room air conditioning will increase dramatically. Besides the decarbonisation of energy supply, increasing the appliances’ energy efficiency and using climate-friendly natural refrigerants are the only way towards zero-carbon and “green” cooling. HEAT has supported a pioneering room AC production conversion project which was implemented by GIZ and funded by the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The Indian manufacturer Godrej ozone- and climate-friendly natural refrigerant R290 and started selling it in 2012. HEAT experts provided technical support for the new product design with a special focus on energy efficient and safe operation. HEAT also supported the elaboration of technicians training regarding the safe handling of flammable refrigerants in this context. In several related projects, HEAT experts have assisted the conversion to natural refrigerants in the production of household refrigerators as well as to natural blowing agents in the production of foam. …
Member TH. WITT Kältemaschinenfabrik GmbH
Since 1896: because experience counts We are an owner-managed family business specialising in the field of industrial refrigeration technology. In 1896, the company's founder, Theodor Witt, started out in Aachen as a plant manufacturer for brewer-ies. He built automated refrigeration systems with the refrigerant ammonia (NH3) completely in-house. The principle of mechanical high-pressure float regulators that he developed at that time can still be found in industrial plants today. Since the 1950s, the company has increasingly changed from a supplier of complete refrigeration sys-tems to a supplier of components. These were increasingly also distributed internationally via a network of independent WITT representatives. In 2010, we finally ended our own refrigeration system construction in order to focus completely on the further development of components. Today, we offer you a reliable partnership worldwide with system solutions consisting of standardised, high-quality components and units. The many years of experience are reflected in well thought-out details of our products, which guarantee high quality, reliability in operation and easy handling. You also benefit from this experience when it comes to consulting and services: We plan, design and manufacture pressure vessel units professionally according to your requirements and design refrigerant pumps and high-pressure float regulators to meet your needs. For 125 years we have already preferred the use of the natural refrigerants NH3 and carbon dioxide (CO2), which mean the right choice from an energy and ecological point of view. The mission: our significant contribution to your success • Benefit from our in-depth expertise and holistic understanding of the refrigeration process: we under-stand your requirements and offer custom-fit solutions. • Let us help you meet your requirements: we see ourselves as your partner and are there when you need us. • Gain security of supply: our business relationships and products are designed for the long term. • To help you move forward, we continue to develop: through continuous improvement and openness to new ideas. • Concentrate on your core business: we make meeting your requirements as easy and pleasant as possible. • Be prepared for the future with us: we are sustainably oriented, not only in our relationship with our business partners and employees, in terms of the quality and functionality of our products and with regard to the conservation of natural resources. passionate. competent. for your success. …

More and more people are suffering from heat stress and need health protection against high temperatures. The active cooling technology COOLINE SX3 used in E.COOLINE products is transforming heat into cooling energy with the natural cooling refrigerant water. We have perfected the evaporative system of H2O with the patented smart 3D COOL fibres. This award winning technology is integrated into textiles. You can use the COOLINE SX3 technology like an air conditioner to wear in cooling vests, cooling headgear and more and save up to 90% CO2 compared with air conditioning systems ( analyzed by climate partners). It works in seconds, is dry outside and highly effective for hours. You can wear it not only indoors but also outdoors where there is no other cooling solution right now. Furthermore you can integrate it into home textiles as blankets for a better sleep or use it in cooling curtains inside and outside of the building. You can use it as a technical textile for outer constructions or roofs for buildings and also for control cabinets for computer systems or in cars to reduce their energy consumption. The system technology is partly made by upcycling of waste fibers, we use natural electricity in Ulm, we have short production ways to save CO2 and though we reduce our carbon footprint. Since 2013 we compensate the rest of our carbon emissions by a Gold Standard project in Papua Neuguinea for reforestation and improving the social situation of the people living there. Our company is the first climate neutral textile company of the world with a green cooling technology for mostly every situation. …
