Energy-efficient refrigeration for smaller facilities

An EU-funded project has developed a prototype refrigeration unit that provides 70 % primary energy savings for smaller plants

Climate change targets set by the 2015 Paris agreement will only be met if significant energy and emissions savings are made not just by big industrial plants but also smaller units. A new refrigeration technology, ECOiCE, which recycles waste heat to save up to 70 % of primary energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions during the chilling process, is being rolled out to small and medium-sized facilities under the EU’s TRISORP project.
