Glasgow, UK: Star Refrigeration is sponsoring the Eurammon Symposium, an online event that takes place on 4-8 July.
Star Refrigeration experts wll deliver two lectures during the five days of online lectures and panel discussions.
Star Refrigeration is sponsoring the symposium and delivering two keynote speeches on 6 July (tomorrow) and 7 July.
Rob Lamb, group sales and marketing director, Star Refrigeration said, “We are looking forward to this year’s symposium which is offering attendees a week-long journey into the future of cooling and heating. As always it is a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge, learn about new technologies and get your questions answered by industry experts.”
The programme for the week-long event features presentations and case studies. Lectures run from 9am to11.30am central European time.
Tomorrow, Rob Lamb, group sales and marketing director, Star Refrigeration presents apaper on Predicting Annual Refrigeration Energy Consumption In Temperature Controlled Facilities.
The increasing cost of energy means that reducing annual consumption is a key priority for operators of temperature-controlled storage facilities. Lamb will present data from a five year study which has examined data from industrial refrigeration systems, indicating a wide variation in energy consumption. He will also provide insights into the reasons for this variation, recommend improvements and provide justifications for making these changes.
In the short lecture, Lamb will offer a simple formula for measuring energy consumption and benchmarking performance year on year and across multiple sites and will also explain how plant data can be collected in real time to predict annual performance.
He will present a case study of an ammonia refrigeration plant providing cooling to a freezer warehouse, showing how changes made to plant operation affect predicted energy consumption and how this can be used to drive future improvements.
On 7 July at 9.45am is Dermott Cotter, managing director, Star Technical Solutions will provide advice on the flammable aspects of natural refrigerants. This is a complex concept where ventilation requirements are often understood but not implemented correctly.
