Mathias Safarik from the Institute of Air-handling and Refrigeration (ILK Dresden) presented a demonstration project involving vacuum ice generation and storage at the University of Applied Sciences in Zwickau, Germany. The project used chillers with water as refrigerant, demonstrating the feasibility of this new cooling technology in practical application.

About the speaker(s)

Mathias Safarik

 

Mr. Safarik studied chemical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Köthen, Germany. He then worked on R&D projects in the field of solar thermally driven air-conditioning and heat storage using phase change materials. He received a PhD from the Technical University Magdeburg in 2003.

Since 2002, he has been working at the Institute of Air Handling and Refrigeration (ILK Dresden) with the main focus on absorption refrigeration technology. Mr. Safarik was involved in several developments of innovative thermally driven chillers with different working fluids. The latest development in this field is a directly air-cooled water/lithium bromide absorption chiller.

Since 2012, Mr. Safarik has been managing the Department of Applied Energy Engineering of ILK Dresden with the main technological fields: water as refrigerant in compression systems, absorption refrigeration technology, water desalination and complex energy systems.
