Martin Millow of Mayekawa Australia analysed the benefits of generating useful hot water using an ammonia heat pump, rather than rejecting the refrigeration system heat, offering an energy efficient method of useful and sustainable hot water generation suitable in a variety of industries. Millow concluded the presentation saying that depending on system operating conditions and applications, ammonia heat pumps can exceed a COP of 8.0.

Responsible for the development of Adsorption Heat Pump at Denso, Kenichi Nishikawa introduced Denso’s ultra compact adsorption equipment with a micro-fin technology designed for an adsorption heat pump and presented a case study on how this innovative technology improves heat transfer and reduces size. In 2011, the study was one of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) projects to develop cutting edge energy-saving technology.

Emerson’s presentation highlighted the company’s latest developments in the field of CO2 refrigeration including Emerson controls designed to improve CO2 system pressure stability. The optimisation of CO2 system pressure is achieved by improving flash tank pressure stability, evaporator pressure / temperature stability, system suction pressure stability and higher suction pressures. In addition, advanced high-pressure controllers help maintain sub cooling in condensers in subcritical mode, create pressure drop into the flash tank and optimise COP during transcritical operations.
