Comparative life cycle assessment of refrigeration systems for food cooling: eco-design actions towards machines with natural refrigerants

Food Polymeric Packaging Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

  Food packaging is used to maintain the safety and quality of food during distribution and storage and to protect them from adverse internal and external conditions, such as water vapor, spoilage due to microorganisms, moisture, light, and dust. In this regard, lots of research studies have been done to increase shelf life, safety, and quality to create suitable physico...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment

Air-Cooling Open Cycle with Peripheral Machines

Air-conditioning plants With air as working fluid In open cycle have been wtdely employed and they provtde high performances In terms of compactness and low weight. In the on-aboard systems Interesting developments have been obtained as well as In the land applications same good improvements can be expected. As a matter of fact the absolute lack of pollution problems and the compactne:ss can ma...

European Supermarket Refrigeration Systems Eco-Efficiency Considerations

Fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerants have especially in Europe been drawn into the focus of the public debate concerning the background of reducing greenhouse active substances. This debate concentrates mainly on the GWP (Global Warming Potentials) properties of the substances. To step forward from a material based discussion to a useful dialogue about substances in their respective application...
