Modern industrial refrigeration systems and fans are designed to meet a range of requirements relating to energy efficiency, operational reliability, noise levels and cost-effectiveness. In addition, site-specific and application-specific legal and regulatory requirements must be taken into account. Forward-looking system planning can help facilitate compliance with future requirements and the integration of new technologies.
In refrigeration and process cooling applications, energy efficiency requirements and the use of refrigerants with lower greenhouse gas potential are among the key considerations. Relevant framework conditions arise, for example, from the EcoDesign Directive (ErP) and the applicable regulations governing fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases). These requirements continue to evolve and should be considered when designing and modernising systems.
