For the two Technology Case Study Sessions at ATMOsphere America 2013, we are looking for case studies that present the latest product innovations, developments and efficiency results in the field of natural refrigerants in or for North America. Deadline: 15 April 2013.

Please find below all application details. We would also like to welcome our new Silver Sponsor True Manufacturing!

Deadline: 15 April 2013

Application areas:

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

Special attention will be given to:

• Type of refrigerant (CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, air, water)
• Cost-efficiency of the whole life cycle
• Geographic area (North America)

Submission criteria:

The focus of the case studies should be on completed or ongoing projects, best practices and lessons learned in the field of natural refrigerants in North America. The case study should be a practical summary of an improved practice rather than a formal, rigorous research paper. Ideally, it should provide and analyze real life results relating to the energy efficiency and reliability of a HVAC+R technology using one or multiple natural refrigerants.

Main criterion is that the technology is either applied in North America or has clear potential to be used in North America.

Should you wish to provide your input on 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 with focus on how to apply this to other developing countries
• 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 Coefficient of Performance (COP), comparison of different systems or parameters, etc.
• Cost analysis: energy costs, operational costs, planning and installation costs, life-cycle costs

Author content and format guidelines:

In your case study submission, please include:

1. Your full name, organisation and email address
2. Case study title
3. An abstract
4. Keywords
5. Relevance for the North American market

Presentation time

Presenters need to plan for a 12 minutes presentation + 3 min Q&A.


Please Submit the case study via email to: info@ATMO.org and indicate "ATMO America" in the subject line and in the case study itself.

Deadline for case study submission is 15 April, 2013

New confirmed Sponsors

We are very happy to welcome our new Silver Sponsors for ATMOsphere America 2013:
