Acting responsibly - Bock compressors at the EuroShop 2011

Bock presents compressor solutions for responsible refrigeration and air-conditioning technology in the trade area at the EuroShop

From 26.2 to 02.03.2011 the international trading world is meeting in Dusseldorf, Germany. The EuroShop is an industrial highlight and offers the great chance to find out about recent developments in all areas of the retail infrastructure.

On more than 200.000 m2 gross exhibition space more than 1.800 exhibitors from 50 countries and 104.000 experts and visitors from 93 countries got together at the last EuroShop. For the second time Bock presents its compressor program for all areas of refrigeration- and air-conditioning technology in the retail sector at the 17th edition of the EuroShop.

Especially in the area of trade there is a significant trend towards sustainable solutions to counteract climate change and often lower energy costs at the same time.

A considerable part of the energy consumption of supermarkets results from cooling goods and the air-conditioning of the buildings. Therefore it is no surprise that 14% of the whole energy consumption in Germany is due to the technical production of refrigeration. An impressive number that makes clear that the refrigeration- and air-conditioning technology might be one of the biggest energy consumers, but also has a big energy-saving potential. At the EuroShop Bock presents compressor solutions that ensure an improved eco-balance of the markets and at the same time opens up saving potential for system operators.

Committed to Efficiency

Because good is never good enough when it comes to efficiency, Bock is working continuously on the development of ist compressors. Those compressors, optimised for the specific characteristics of R134a, achieve a much higher efficiency, and therefore the annual capacity of the refrigeration plant can be significantly increased. As the first compressors in R134a version, Bock presents models of the type HG5…R134a at the EuroShop.

With the Bock e-series the compressor manufacturer also presents another development in terms of efficiency optimisation. This new generation of semi-hermetic compressors is optimised for all standard refrigerants. As a first model of this series Bock presents the compressor HG34e at the EuroShop. More Information

Awarded solution – Saving energy with the EFC-System

An essential element of an efficient operation of refrigeration systems is the regulation of the system according to its requirements. In many cases the regulation of the compressor via frequency converter results in energy savings of 25% and more. 

With continuous variable speed control the frequency converters adapt the capacity of the compressor automatically to the current requirements. Therefore they drastically reduce the energy consumption of systems. Already since 2004 Bock offers with the EFC-System (Electronic Frequency Control) the Plug&Play system for a frequency converter regulation of the compressor. At the EuroShop Bock presents this system that was awarded with an innovation price for refrigeration technology by the German Environmental Minister in December 2009. More Information

The natural solution CO2

In the last few years, the refrigerant CO2 was established in various applications such as the supermarket sector. A development that will even gain greater momentum in the next few year. As one of the pioneers of this technology Bock could gain experience in this area for more than ten years and now presents at the EuroShop the new 4-cylinder compressor models HG34 CO2 T for the use in transcritical CO2 applications.

A natural alternative – Hydrocarbons

Whereas the use of synthetic refrigerants is already limited in some countries due to their contribution to the greenhouse effect, the trend goes towards natural refrigerants that are a real alternative to synthetic refrigerants.

A well-known solution among them – hydrocarbons.

Based on the compressors of the current Bock semi-hermetic program and the established standard product range, Bock presents at the EuroShop a compressor version especially for the use with hydrocarbons – compressors in HC-design.

Those compressors are suitable for hydrocarbons and have, compared to compressors for standard FKW- and HFKW-refrigerants, safety-related modifications due to the flammability of hydrocarbons. More Information
