In order to present the latest market innovations and efficiency results in the field of natural refrigeration (CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons) at ATMOsphere Europe 2011, we are looking for case studies in the following application areas (deadline 15 July):

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

Submission criteria

Deadline to submit the case studies is 15 July 2011.

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

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)
• 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:

1. Your full name, organisation and email address
2. Case study title
3. An Abstract
4. Keywords
5. Introduction
6. Any applicable references

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


New sponsors of ATMOsphere Europe 2011

In addition, we would like to welcome and thank two new Sponsors:

Star Refrigeration joins as Bronze Partner: Star is the UK's largest independent industrial refrigeration engineering company. It first used CO₂ in the early 1990s. In 1996, Star were pioneers on behalf of Nestle to deploy a CO₂/NH₃ cascade system for freeze drying. Recently, Star installed a 15MW 90C ammonia district heating system in Norway- the world's largest. CO₂ continues to play a major role with orders for over 120 CO₂ systems for supermarkets currently in production.

Linde Group joins as Supporter: The Linde Group is a world leading gases and engineering company with almost 52,000 employees working in around 100 countries worldwide. It is one of the world's largest refrigerant distributors. Linde's refrigerants business operates in 5 continents, with more filling stations and retail outlets than any other company. Its wide portfolio of products includes the natural refrigerants CO₂, Ammonia & Hydrocarbons.
