Our Summer 2020 Newsletter Is Here--Technology

GEOTABS, when optimised, are the “perfect marriage” of technology for heating and cooling buildings. “GEO” refers to geothermal heat pumps. “TABS” (thermally activated building systems) include technology like concrete core activation, i.e., pipes embedded in concrete floors through which warm/cold water is pumped to heat/cool a building’s thermal mass. Together, GEOTABS (‘Geothermally Activated Building Systems’) offer tremendous energy savings over conventional systems.

Europe Innovates to Stay Afloat

This year in Europe, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spread rapidly, with Italy as an epicenter, from late February. In March, most European Union (EU) member states had locked down their countries and banned public contact, leading to a gradual decline in the numbers of new infections. Then in May, more and more countries began releasing the lockdowns in a stepwise manner. Under these circumstances, how did the European air conditioner market fare during the first quarter of this year?

HVAC&R Industry Seeking Post-pandemic Opportunities

April is the start of the air conditioner sales season in the Northern Hemisphere, and prior to this, many exhibitions and other events related to heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) are staged. However, this year, these major international exhibitions were canceled or postponed because of the novel coronavirus epidemic, bringing an unusually quiet start to the season. The novel coronavirus has spread throughout the world, shifting its focal point from China to Europe and the United States, and also to Southeast Asia and the Southern Hemisphere. Along with the spread, many cities and countries are locked down and some HVAC&R manufacturers have been forced to close their outlets, factories, and headquarters.

Snowman CO2 Heat Pump Provides Healthy Hot Water

In hot water systems, many viruses and bacteria tend to propagate, posing a threat to health. In general, viruses and bacteria, including the highly pathogenic Legionella bacterium that causes pneumonia, survive and reproduce in water at a temperature of 20 to 50ºC, but Legionella is immediately killed in hot water at a temperature above 70ºC. Therefore, healthy domestic water is achieved by heating water to a temperature above 70ºC.
