For the two Technology Case Study Sessions at ATMOsphere Europe 2012, we are looking for case studies that present the latest product innovations, project developments and efficiency results in the field of natural refrigerants (CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, air and water). Please find application details below as well as information about our new sponsors Parker, EPTA and Frigo Consulting.

Deadline: 20 August, 2012

Application areas:

• Commercial & Light-Commercial Refrigeration
• Industrial Refrigeration
• Air Conditioning (Mobile & Stationary)
• Heat Pumps
• Transport
• New areas of application

Submission criteria

The focus of the case studies should be on product innovations, best practices and/or lessons learned in the field of natural refrigerants in Europe. The case study should be a practical summary of an improved practice rather than a formal, rigorous research paper. It should provide and analyse real life results relating to the energy efficiency and reliability of a new HVAC+R technology using one or multiple natural refrigerants.

Please note that it is important that the case studies present projects in Europe or that are directly relevant for the European market.

Should you wish to provide your input in the above-mentioned fields, you are invited to send an abstract that satisfies the following criteria:

• Sustainable: The case study should address the potential of natural refrigerant technology (CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, water and air)
• Replicable: Lessons learned that could be applied to other projects
• Original: Technology innovations, research results that have not been shown elsewhere, new field of applications etc.
• Tangible: Examples of real life installations and demonstration projects, laboratory testing with tangible results etc.

Elements that should be included

• Efficiency analysis: analysis of how the refrigerant influences the COP, comparison of different systems or parameters, etc
• Cost analysis: energy costs, operational costs, planning and installation costs, life-cycle costs
• Result-oriented: review of the lessons learned and suggestions on how the next installation could be managed differently.

Author content and format guidelines

In your Case Study submission, please include:

• Your full name, organisation and email address
• Case study title
• An Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction

Required: on the last page, authors must provide a list of bulleted best practices and/or lessons learned on the topic.

Please Submit the Case Study via email to: info@ATMO.org

Deadline for case study submission is 20 August, 2012
