Concentrated knowledge in special presentations

Chillventa is continuing its success story in 2014 and entering a new era of growth when it comes to exhibitors and exhibition space. In just a few weeks, the world's largest international trade fair for refrigeration, air-conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps, with around 1,000 exhibitors, will be starting. The event actually starts on Monday, 13 October 2014 with Chillventa Congressing, the know-how highlight. On Tuesday, 14 October, the trade fair will then open its gates for three days. In addition to top innovations in the halls there will also be plenty of exciting special presentations, as in previous years.

Special presentation: Energy-efficient data centres
Growing volumes of data, increased demand for energy, volatile energy sources and the resultant rise in energy costs plus planning uncertainties are presenting major challenges for the operators of data centres worldwide. The special presentation "Energy-efficient data centres – sustainable solutions for air-conditioning" will be taking place in a specially designated area in hall 7, with a focus on sustainable solutions. Here companies from the air-conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps industries will be presenting themselves and their products. Areas covered will include precision air-conditioning for data centres and server rooms, planning companies for designing new data centres and modernising existing ones, efficiency and GreenIT plus the topic of heat recovery.

Special presentation: Heat pumps in commercial and industrial use
The special presentation on heat pumps focuses on the hybrid generation of heat and cold as a future energy use for commercial and industrial applications. The possibilities and solutions for saving energy through the use of heat pumps will be presented on a special area. The focus is on presenting the advantages of heat pumps in comparison with other methods of heat generation, using the hot and cold side at the same time. This special presentation will be shown in hall 7 within the Heat Pump Area. Nearby, companies from the air-conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps sectors will be presenting themselves and their products. The participating firms can exhibit on the special area with their solutions under the relevant headings. The special presentation will be supported by Chillventa's technical partners: European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) and Bundesverband Wärmepumpe (BWP) e.V.

Energy inspection of air-conditioning and room ventilation systems
In practice, the energy inspection of air-conditioning and room ventilation systems according to Art.12 EnEV [Energy Saving Ordinance] is barely known, at least in terms of its practical implementation. The revision of EnEV will make the inspection a general obligation, in combination with DIN SPEC 15240, which is now also in effect. The transitional periods for existing systems have already expired or are about to expire. Within a special area, a training line will be available where visitors can learn about the practical skills that are necessary for the inspection. Temperatures, volume flows, room air qualities and power take-ups will be measured and the mechanical energy state of the system will be evaluated on an actual system.
