8 Sustainabillity Natural refrigerants are the obvious choice as a sustainable & ecological alternative to HCFC & HFC's All natural refrigerants occur in nature's material cycle. They do not contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer and have no significant influence to the greenhouse effect. They have been used in food production and storage for more than100 years. Therefore, we are convinced that the natural refrigerants ammonia and carbon dioxide are essential essential. 8 8

9 Trends in Europe regarding HFC Norway and Sweden: Penalty tax on HFC e.g., in Norway ( NOK/kg R134a (~ 35 ) Denmark: Larger than 10kg HFC charge Germany: Subsidies of up to 200,000 for commercial refrigeration systems using CO 2, NH 3 or hydrocarbons Annual inspection with leak test for HFC systems (1-4 times, depending on filling quantity) Luxembourg: Decision according to TEWI value Austria: Larger than 20kg HFC charge Switzerland: >300 kw Qo HFC 9

10 Refrigerants available in Europe in the future? Refrigerant Synthetics Natural CFCs HCFCs HFCs R11 R12... R500 R501 R R21 R22 R123 R R23 R134a R507 R404a R410A R407C Ammonia Hydrocarbon Carbon dioxide Water Air Market significance Sales ban 1996 Sales ban 2000 Sales ban? Future refrigerants General trend towards natural refrigerants. 10

11 HFC Refrigerant consumption in Europe AC chiller * 15 % Commercial refrigeration 15 % Industry/ process cooling 3 % AC/air handling units 11 % Household 10 % Transportation 1 % Car AC 45 % R134a cannot be used for AC in new cars from 2011 * AC chiller market size is approx. 40,000 units 11

12 What to do? GEA supports and deliver natural solutions 12

13 New Chiller developments - BluAstrum 13

14 Why did we start the BluAstrum project? Industrial refrigeration line (I Line) Air conditioning line (AC Line) Existing chiller program was too industrial and complex Increasing trend for natural refrigerants in AC and Industries Increased competiveness by designing an outstanding, next generation chiller, using latest innovative technologies 14

15 The goal Maintaining the market leader position delivering industrial and AC chillers with natural refrigerants by offering the newest technologies, by facing the political discussion on greenhouse gases and a growing demand for eco-technology. 15

16 How to achieve this ambitious goal? By developing a highly competitive chiller with important features demanded by the market: Minimizing carbon footprint by using natural refrigerants Highest efficiency by applying newest technologies Small dimensions (door size and minimum footprint) Low noise level Optimized for low TCO (total cost of ownership) 16

17 GEA RT core competency the heart of refrigeration Better efficiency, speed controlled 1,000 up to 4,500 rpm, Automatic Vi-control integrated in compressor Less maintenance, long service life time of roller bearings Easy maintenance, fewer connections Less complexity, no external oil pump, no internal oil pump Lower manufacturing cost, ground rotors, rotor-grinding technology 17

18 Evaporator and Condenser the heart of efficiency Approach temperatures only 1,5 ⁰C Normally 3 to 5 ⁰C 1,5⁰C 30⁰C Condenser TC: 36,5 ⁰C 35⁰C Condenser 36,5⁰C 12⁰C Separator Evaporator 4,5⁰C 30⁰C 35⁰C 1,5⁰C TE: 4,5 ⁰C Evaporator 6⁰C 6⁰C 12⁰C 18

19 Customers advantage: Easy to install Fits through any door! 19

20 Customers advantage: literally half the footprint Innovative 4.6 m2 Conventional product m2

21 Efficiency leads to reduced carbon footprint Energy Efficiency Efficiency miles/ltr Ratio ~ 90% Operational point usage ESEER 8.53 M-5, Improved inverter, car ESEER technology 7.32 M-1, Conventional slider, ESEER car technology 5.96 Refrigeration capacity (%) city limit speed Car speed highway speed 21

22 Chiller part load and full load efficiency Typical Dry Expansion S&T ESEER < 4 22

23 BluAstrum Range NH3 Refrigerant charge BluAstrum 1000 : approx. 75 kg (66g/kW) 23

24 Summary Minimizing carbon footprint by using natural refrigerants Highest efficiency by applying newest technologies Small dimensions (door size and minimum footprint) Excellent low noise level and safety in design Optimized for low TCO (total cost of ownership) First cost for BluAstrum1000 is lower than HFC products offering same level of COP 24

25 NH3 Heat pump applications with Grasso compressors 25

26 Grasso heat pumps Ammonia is the efficient refrigerant for heat pumps! Grasso heat pumps are based on refrigerant ammonia System COP crucial Standard chiller can be platform for a heat pump! A heat pump system does not behave like a refrigeration systems 26

27 Applications of industrial heat pump technology +82 C +70 C Heat pumps for buildings and energy savings Heatpumps for cleaning purposes +60 C +50 C +40 C Heatpumps for food and bevarage Heatpumps in greenhouses Heatpumps for Dehumidification and floorheating 27

28 Heat pump principle 28

29 Heat pump add on (on refrigeration installation) 29
