German International Cooperation (GIZ) and Indonesian company AICOOL are introducing different types of air-conditioning and Propane air-conditioning project in Indonesia increases energy efficiency by 15%refrigeration systems using propane (R290) to Indonesia. A cooling system based on optimised design and tailor-made equipment will be installed at a hotel in Bali. Parts of the system will also be on display during the 23rd Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Bali, Indonesia from 21-25 November 2011.
Proklima, as the global programme for green cooling in the GIZ, is working together in a public-private partnership with Indonesian company AICOOL to introduce different types of systems for refrigeration and air conditioning. By using primarly propane these innovative technologies aim to improve and optimise the present refrigeration equipments in Indonesia. Currently, the annual consumption of refrigerants and foam blowing agents in Indonesia equals about 14 Mt CO2eq. Compared with currently applied technologies, the new project technologies have a minimal climate impact thanks to natural refrigerants.
Optimised products will be displayed at the Montreal Protocol Meeting in Bali Due to its special physical properties the hydrocarbon refrigerant is best suited for hot climates and allows a substantial reduction of raw materials to be used for production. Based on optimised design and tailor-made equipment the new cooling aggregates using propane as refrigerant will be installed at a client’s hotel in Bali, Indonesia.
The product can significantly improve energy efficiency by 15%. The successful project will be displayed during the 23rd Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Bali, Indonesia from 21-25 November 2011. In addition, the two project partners will be organising side-visits to showcase the reliably running system to climate negotiators from around the globe.
Background Proklima
Proklima is a global programme of German International Cooperation (GIZ ) aiming at reducing non CO2 greenhouse gas emissions by transferring technology and the development of capacities to adapt, apply and optimise processes and products in the refrigeration, air conditioning and foam production sectors. GIZ supports national sustainable policies and helps countries to introduce climate friendly technologies in these fields. GIZ currently implements projects in 35 countries on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
