YAMATO Corporation has, for the third time, pledged its support for the ATMOsphere Asia conference on natural refrigerant technology & innovation as a Silver Sponsor. The conference will be held on 9 & 10 February in Tokyo, Japan.  

YAMATO Co. Ltd. is an engineering company specializing in planning, designing, installation and maintenance for freeze and refrigeration facilities and HVAC. For these two areas, YAMATO Co. Ltd. originally developed a thermal storage system, accumulating thermal energy during nighttime for daytime loads, to achieve daytime electricity saving. The patented Ultra Eco-Ice System (UEI) is adapted by customers in Japan where it helps reduce daytime electric power demand significantly, improve energy efficiency and reduce running cost.

The UEI system introduces brine on the secondary side and, in this way, significantly reduces HFC refrigerant charge and its leakage. By using this UEI system, YAMATO Co. Ltd. also developed an HFC-free system that does not require replacement of the existing HFC showcases for new CO₂ showcases by deploying brine as secondary refrigerant. YAMATO’s viable solution will help address over 50% of existing facilities in Japan that still use HCFCs but must be phased out by 2020, in order to comply with the Montreal Protocol.


About ATMOsphere Asia 2016
Returning for it's 3^rd edition, ATMOsphere Asia 2016 is THE industry event bringing together HVAC&R experts from across the globe! Perfectly timed on 9 & 10 February 2016 to coincide with the 50^th anniversary of the Supermarket Trade Show, which will also take place in Tokyo from 10-12 February, the conference is expected to attract a record number of both Asian and international end users and other leading industry stakeholders.

The conference will cover the latest natural refrigerant technology innovations, market trends and regulatory issues, looking at both the Japanese scope as well as the international dimension. Programme highlights include updates on national subsidies given by the Japanese Ministry of Environment and information about F-Gas policies and their implementation in Europe and North & South America.

This year, the two-day conference will be split with the first day focusing on commercial refrigeration and the second day covering industrial refrigeration and other applications.
