Podsumowanie kontekstu i ogólnych celów projektu

Commercial and professional plug-in refrigerated cabinets use much more energy than household products. Saving potentials are huge but there are barriers to improving efficiency. Standardised declaration of energy consumption does not exist; this makes comparing the electricity costs of products impossible. Coming EU legislation of F-gases will overcome this lack of basic information and TEKNA is following it through methodically. The labelling of domestic refrigerators at EU level has led to a reduction in energy consumption of 66%, however, today the electricity consumptions in non-domestic refrigerator is indicated in 20%, but is aimed to be 79% by 2030 for all refrigerators.
Our new innovative professional refrigerator machine, easy to use, modern looking that will reduce Global Potential Warming (GPW), CO2 emissions by 30% and the energy consumptions by 60%, redefining in depth the machine, acting directly on the main components of it. Our project, called REFICIENT is looking ahead and is designed to directly address the upcoming legislations of F-Gases (N. 517/2014), mandatory from 2020, that acts on the fluorinated greenhouse gases, banning the use of R-507 gases, replaced by hydrocarbon refrigerants, like the R-290. Our refrigerator is thought to deliver a highly adaptable commercial refrigerator, designed for lower energy consumption, with feedback & control capability and also built with eco-friendly, new generation material like the bio-polymer plastics.

Prace wykonane od początku projektu do końca okresu sprawozdawczego oraz najważniejsze dotychczasowe rezultaty

We have performed a market analysis to verify the commercial potential and to support our market activities, a global Freedom-To-Operate analysis and Intellectual Property management strategy. From the technical viability, we have a complete execution plan for the Phase 2 project, including planning, organization, risk analysis and budget.
From our financial viability plan, we estimate a total investment for 2-years Phase 2 project over € 1.15 million.

Innowacyjność oraz oczekiwany potencjalny wpływ (w tym dotychczasowe znaczenie społeczno-gospodarcze i szersze implikacje społeczne projektu)

The technical advantages of REFICIENT are clear as with our system we provide a new innovative professional refrigerator machine, easy to use, modern looking that will reduce Global Potential Warming (GPW), CO2 emissions by 30% and the energy consumptions by 60%, redefining in depth the machine, acting directly on the main components of it. The current State of the Art does not have this caracteristics yet and we will be the pioneear of it.

REFICIENT, will lead to long-term profitability for both customers and our company, providing a significantly lower running costs to our client, - 30% electrical costs, and generating € 11 million of accumulated profit by 2023 for TEKNA.
