ATMOsphere Europe 2015
date16 - 17 March 2015 location Crowne Plaza Le Palace Hotel, Brussels view on mapAbout this event
ATMOsphere Europe, the annual meeting place for key industry stakeholders to discuss the latest natural refrigerant technologies, market trends and regulatory issues in Europe is back for it's 6th edition!
With the new EU F-Gas Regulation in effect since January 2015, ATMOsphere Europe 2015 "Natural Refrigerants - Solutions for Europe" will provide updates on its implementation and next steps. In addition, the event will feature a dedicated session to give input to European Commission in relation to national standards, codes and legislation that limit the use of natural refrigerants.
The conference will also be covering a mix of applications from commercial and light commercial, industrial and transport refrigeration to heat pumps and air-conditioning. But also newer applications areas such as convenience stores, hotels, restaurants and cafes, hospitals, etc. to show that natural refrigerants technologies are available and that the different industries can learn from each others' experience.

22 April 2015 | ATMOsphere Europe 2015: Summary report now available!We are happy to announce that the ATMOsphere Europe 2015 Summary Report has been published!
22 April 2015 | Exclusive interview with Amad Hafez provides update on Portuguese retailers CO2 journeySONAE MC’s Amad Hafez spoke to R744.com about their experience with cascade systems in Portugal and the retailer’s feelings about their future use of natural refrigerants. While the company praised the high savings their CO2 subcritical commercial refrigeration systems were able to provide, they are still seeking an alternative to R134a. The performance of its two CO2/NH3 stores has not met expectations. However, SONAE MC is keeping an eye on CO2-only technology and the innovative solutions being developed to improve the efficiency of transcritical systems in southern Europe.
2 April 2015 | Natural refrigeration gains ground, but obstacles remainNatural refrigeration technology is gaining traction with end-users, according to speakers at the Atmosphere Conference in Brussels last month.
31 March 2015 | Advanced R744 heat pump solutions for the European marketATMOsphere Europe 2015 provided a platform for the latest heat pump innovations including ENEA’s joint case study on a heat pump with a unique two-cylinder compressor, designed to cater for the European market. boostHEAT showcased its integrated heat pump/boiler solution while Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Sanden outlined the increased migration of their products from Asia to Europe.
30 March 2015 | ATMOsphere Europe 2015: industrial and transport CO2 refrigeration firsts in Europe2014 was an important year of ‘firsts’ for CO2 in terms of the refrigerant being applied in a wider range of applications in Europe, including transport, ice rinks, the HORECA food service sector, and more. The sixth annual ATMOsphere Europe 2015 conference heard from the technology providers and contractors of these projects, including Carrier Transicold, Green & Cool, Green Cooling, Thermo King and AF Consulting. +VIDEO
