Under the theme, “Indoor Air Quality is Health,” the II CAI Congress will take place on November 26 and 27, organized by the Association of HVAC Equipment Manufacturers (AFEC), the Spanish Technical Association for HVAC and Refrigeration (ATECYR), and the Federation of Indoor Environmental Quality Companies (FEDECAI). Indoor air quality is especially significant because HVAC…
Borealis Energía Térmica has recently undertaken a new project called BOMCAMAT, focusing on the design and experimental development of a new air-to-water heat pump for hot water production using a low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant. For this experimental development, the company has received support from the Junta de Comunidades of Castilla-La Mancha, specifically through…
Borealis Energía Térmica has recently completed a new project, called DHUMTROP, focused on the design and experimental development of a new dehumidifier for indoor pools in tropical and equatorial climates. For this experimental development, the company has received support from the Junta de Comunidades of Castilla-La Mancha, specifically through the Innova-Adelante Grants. This project has…
Heat pumps can be defined as a “thermal machine that, using a refrigerant gas in a closed thermodynamic cycle, transfers heat from the natural environment—air, water, or ground—to a building or industrial applications by reversing the natural flow of heat so that it flows from a lower temperature to a higher one.” Consequently, heat pumps…
Borealis Energía Térmica has developed an indoor air disinfection system using ultraviolet radiation. Its purpose is to disinfect the environment against microorganisms and bacteria such as COVID-19 in indoor spaces through air conditioning systems. This system, called ‘Borealis UV’, is based on the adaptation of UV-C ultraviolet light lamps to systems that condition indoor spaces.…
A heated pool consumes a large amount of energy, both in electricity and fossil fuels (diesel or natural gas). Furthermore, meeting the international agreements on reducing greenhouse gases is an objective that can only be achieved by collective efforts within each of our areas of responsibility. Saving energy in heated pools and reducing their CO2…
AFEC Publishes an Informative Note on Ecodesign Requirements for Autonomous and Rooftop Units AFEC (Association of Air Conditioning Equipment Manufacturers) recently published an informative note on compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2281, concerning ecodesign requirements for Air Heating Products, Cooling Products, High-Temperature Process Chillers, and Fan Coil Units. The purpose of this note is to…
