Once again, and based on the criteria established for the selection of these products, the jury has assessed the degree of innovation; energy efficiency; respect for the environment; quality; the design and use of renewable energies of the proposals.
Selected products:
Industrial and commercial refrigeration
Company: Intarcon, stand 8C01
Product: Ammolite
It is a series of glycol chiller plants that as a novelty use ammonia as a refrigerant with low-load technology. The Ammolite range consists of 6 models of chiller plants between 250 and 700kW, optimized for the production of glycol water at -8ºC and -25ºC, in a very compact design that integrates the refrigerated compressor, the evaporator and the dry air condenser, without the need for water. It incorporates state-of-the-art equipment and is designed for low-temperature industrial refrigeration applications, such as cold rooms or process cooling, in which the energy efficiency criterion is paramount for the choice of system.
Product: Waterloop evaporator,
INTARCON's waterloop refrigeration equipment for commercial refrigeration is a split-type system for cooling cold rooms, which only uses water pipes as a connection between the units. The range consists of several models of medium and low temperature indoor units from 1 to 5kW of cooling power, which use natural refrigerant R290. They integrate in a compact construction the refrigerated compressor and a plate condenser to work in a water loop. The range is completed with an electrical control and power panel, and a series of aerorefrigerante units or dry-coolers for outdoor installation and that incorporate a hydraulic group for the circulation of water in condensation loop with the indoor unit.
Company: Tewis Smart Systems S.L.U, stand 8C02
Product: Conveni-pack CO2
A compact system of refrigeration in medium temperature and air conditioning with heat recovery function in a small space and with a low sound level, which uses CO2 as the only natural refrigerant. These units offer a large number of installation possibilities even inside the building due to the available pressure of the condenser fans up to 78Pa. Its modularity maximizes installation flexibility and allows adaptation to the requirements of each project. Thanks to its potential for heat recovery, optimized controls and state-of-the-art compressor technology, Conveni-pack CO2 can reduce annual energy consumption by up to 50% compared to third-party solutions.
Company: Frost-trol, stand 8C06
Product: FREE Frost Energy Tech
This proposal is based on integrating into the interior of a refrigeration cabinet a heat transfer fluid with phase change that allows a totally autonomous operation, without the need for an electrical connection to maintain the temperature of the perishable food. From the thermal accumulation of a fluid composed of PCM samples (Phase Change Material) and the optimization of all the heat transmission mechanisms that coexist during the operation of a piece of furniture, Frost-trol seeks ways to optimize the performance of the furniture it sells and add new services that the market does not offer to date. Phase change materials by moving from the solid to liquid state or vice versa, can absorb or release large amounts of thermal energy by accumulating energy in the form of latent heat of fusion. This particularity makes them especially interesting for use in refrigerated furniture located in supermarkets for the conservation of the perishable product.
Heating and domestic hot water
Company: ABN Pipe Systems, stand 6C14
Product: ABN// INSTAL CT FLEX RD. Flexible polypropylene
The flexible pipe ABN / / INSTAL CT FLEX RD is made of polypropylene PPR CT RP multilayer plus elastic compound that offers the professional of the installations, among other advantages, the possibility of carrying out the entire installation using a single material such as polypropylene, both in large diameters (up to 500 mm) and in small diameters (20 mm). It is, in turn, very manageable thanks to its great flexibility. It has a multilayer system that avoids the use of accessories and facilitates longer-lived installations.
Company: Daikin AC Spain, stand 10D02
Daikin Altherma 3 WS (WaterSource), the new generation
System for collective housing buildings based on multi-service water/water heat pumps with continuous regulation Inverter working within an energy ring, and capable of meeting the needs of heating in winter, cooling in summer and domestic hot water throughout the year in collective housing buildings. Especially suitable for homes with variable energy demand thanks to the high partialization capacity of dakin Altherma units and the possibility of integrating all types of renewable energies easily within the water loop. In the field of this constructive typology of almost zero energy consumption, centralized or semi-centralized solutions are an interesting alternative since each user enjoys the advantages of an individual installation in terms of flexibility of operation and use, and the possibilities of recovering energy globally when some homes demand cooling and other DHW. In addition, it allows to integrate different systems and use renewable energy sources (geothermal, solar thermal and photovoltaic, aerothermal, etc.) to maintain within an optimal temperature range this water loop, on which the water-water heat pumps dissipate or take energy, significantly increasing the overall performance of the collective installation and reducing operating costs.
Air conditioning and ventilation
Company: Daikin AC Spain, stand 10D02
Product: VRV-5 Heat Recovery with R32
VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) is a direct expansion system whose main advantage for the end user and the installer is the possibility of connecting multiple indoor units, all of them totally independent of each other, giving maximum flexibility to the system. Thanks to its technological advances, inverter regulation of the compressor and fans, Variable Refrigerant Temperature and the integration of the control system, it manages to maximize efficiency and comfort automatically without the need for complicated start-ups. This guarantees the user lower operating expenses by massifying energy efficiency at both nominal and partial loads. For the prescribing user, the VRV solution allows a design based on criteria of flexibility, zoning, energy saving and low sound level, most relevant conditions in an air conditioning project. Flexibility is obtained by giving a completely independent operation and regulation of each unit
Product: Purification module for duct units
This new Daikin module offers a system for the control of the air quality of the air conditioning installation through ionization technology fully integrable in residential and commercial duct units. The purification technology used is based on the ionization of air components and VOCs. Air ionization is a process that occurs when electrons are removed or added to atoms, causing an imbalance of charge. The electrical configurations of the air ions thus formed include H+, H3O+, O+, N+,OH-, H2O-and O2-. Such ionized molecules act as condensation nuclei for small particles that, when clumped together, grow and increase their mass. In this way, they precipitate more easily and are captured with thicker filters.
Company: Hiplus Air Conditioning, stand SL 10D10
Product: miniKr3Bi
The miniKr3B family consists of four models in two sizes of furniture, with a format of front fans that gives them maximum versatility in compact furniture, with air conditioning and DHW production capacity, within a range of cooling powers from 17.7 to 36.0 kW, and calorific: from 20.4 to 38.4 kW, with energy classification A+ in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 811/2013.
Centralized regulation, control and technical management
Company: Eliwell Ibérica S.A, stand 8C02

It is a temperature data logger according to the EN12830:2018 standard with wireless connectivity and dissociatible digital probes with independent certificate. It allows, with a single device, to make temperature records for chambers of refrigerated, frozen and deep-frozen products with dissociatible digital probes and individual certificate, and to visualize and record from 1 to 8 temperatures.
