Danfoss develops cooling solutions from India and ships worldwide
Danfoss develops cooling solutions from India and ships worldwide. The technology was manufactured specifically for India by his R&D team at his Danish engineered solutions company and is one of many that have been exported to other countries, says Danfoss India president
As one and only Ravichandran Purushothaman said:
Danfoss currently supplies inverter-driven condensing units to the European Union, Africa and the Asia Pacific countries.
The condensing unit is suitable for operation on normal mains supply as well as photovoltaic DC (direct current). They are designed to run at speeds that match actual load conditions, providing optimal performance and savings. “We expect the Indian and African markets to see increased demand for inverters and solar solutions in the coming years,” Purushothaman told ET.
“The company has sold more than 600 units in the EU, Africa, and the Asia Pacific since January 2021. These units are 100% solar powered and from February 2021 onwards, cooling milk and The field of application has been successful in his trials,” he added.
A condensing unit is a complete assembly of outdoor units required for a refrigeration system.
Danfoss manufactures air-cooled condensing units that are mainly used as milk cooling tanks, cold rooms and ageing rooms. According to the company, the savings in electricity bills and consumption with inverter capacitor units is about 30% compared to traditional constant speed units.
Condensing Units in India
His team has designed and developed a range of low GWP refrigerant condensing units, Purushothaman said.
GWP stands for Global Warming Potential and is a measure of how destructive a climate pollutant is.
Today, refrigerants are often far more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide (CO2).
His GWP of a gas refers to the total contribution to global warming resulting from the emission of 1 unit of that gas for 1 unit of the reference gas CO2 assigned a value of 1. GWP can also be used to define the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming over different periods or time horizons.
“In order for the Danfoss condensing unit team to be prepared for the next phase of the phase-out of F-gas, the Danfoss India Application Development Center encourages the team to use these low-GWP natural refrigerants. We are testing our condensing units with a variety of natural and low GWP refrigerants to help us plan in Europe and the rest of the world,” he said.
F-gas, or fluorinated gas, is an artificial gas used in many industrial applications. They are often used as alternatives to ozone-depleting substances because they do not damage the ozone layer in the atmosphere.
However, F-gas is a powerful greenhouse gas with an even higher warming potential than CO2. They will therefore make a significant contribution to climate change. To control F-gas emissions, including hydrofluorocarbons, the EU has adopted two legislations: the F-gas Regulation and the MAC (Portable Air Conditioning) Directive.
Danfoss India is working with the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru to facilitate the research, development, use and promotion of new low GWP natural refrigerants in support of the global refrigerant transition and India’s commitment and the amendment to the Kigali Agreement. said Purushosaman.
The Kigali Agreement is an amendment to the Montreal Protocol, an environmental agreement signed by countries to remove ozone-depleting substances from the earth’s atmosphere.
