The heat pump industry is pushing the limits!
CAREL

As we all know, the large industrial heat pump industry is growing really fast, especially in the EU. However, the rest of the world will certainly soon follow.  For many years the main market for heat pumps has mainly been in households, i.e. large volumes, an HFC refrigerant and the use of standard components that have “always” been available on the market. These components were easy to use, and the design temperatures and pressures were all straightforward, so there were no specific issues for building a heat pump. The same was true for industrial heat pumps. Now the game is changing ..read more

Reliable and connected medical refrigerators for optimal storage conditions
CAREL
by Jacopo Bettio
1w ago
In scientific and medical applications, the substances stored inside refrigerators are likely to be highly valuable from an economic, strategic and even social point of view. Thus, this specific market requires particular attention. The risks associated with an ineffective refrigeration system can be significant, as an improper storage temperature can accelerate degradation of the products, cause them to lose their therapeutic properties or lead to the formation of potentially toxic substances. That is why industry regulations are particularly strict and demanding. For instance, in order to gu ..read more

The different stakeholders in ESG management of commercial or service buildings
CAREL
by Chiara Tonon
2w ago
The growing awareness of ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues and the need to make energy consumption as efficient as possible, thus lowering costs, have created market demand for remote control solutions capable of reducing waste, such as BEMS (building energy management systems). In particular, businesses that manage chains of commercial or service properties – i.e. banks, restaurant or store chains, and gyms - need to be able to have remote control and data for analysis on multiple levels, so as to reduce complexity and acquire information to help make the right decisions: from ..read more

Solving the Unsolvables: Discover the Power of 8D Problem Solving
CAREL
by Roberto Bodo
3w ago
In the realm of problem-solving methodologies, few approaches have stood the test of time quite like the 8D problem-solving process. Originating in the automotive industry, specifically at the Ford Motor Company in the late 1980s, the 8D methodology rose to prominence as a powerful tool to address complex issues and drive continuous improvement. Over the years, it has evolved and gained widespread adoption across various industries and sectors, cementing its position as a tried and tested problem-solving framework [1]. In this post, we will delve into the main steps of the 8D problem-solving ..read more

Introduction It is now well known that heat pump technology is a key tool in achieving the decarbonisation of building heating systems and meeting the emission reduction objectives set globally and in particular by the EU, which aims to make Europe the first continent with a zero environmental impact.   The heat pumps currently available on the market can boast an average energy efficiency that is three to five times higher than natural gas boilers, and at the same time can run on energy from renewable sources. Without going into too much detail, here are some numbers to help understand j ..read more

Retrospective and Hansei to Enhance Team Motivation – the Human Side of Lean Thinking
CAREL
by Olga Bordignon
1M ago
Motivating teams and employees is a critical priority for any company aiming for success. However, after taking part in events and courses on topics relating to continuous improvement, I’ve come to the conclusion that nowadays there is still little discussion about the “human side” of lean thinking.  By this I mean paying attention to the human, relational and cultural aspects in an organisation when applying lean thinking principles. While lean thinking has its roots in efficiently managing processes and reducing waste, the “human side” emphasises that the success of these efforts also ..read more

Design and sustainability
CAREL
by Paolo Marafin
1M ago
The verb design is used to describe the process for drawing and planning an object: a piece of furniture, a car, a coffee maker, an electronic device, just to name a few examples. A designer is the person responsible for planning the development of a product, carefully studying its efficiency and usefulness, through paper or digital drawings, simulations and analysis of materials, without of course forgetting the aesthetics of the shapes. The concept of design has until now been closely related to industrial production, as it most often refers to objects that are to be mass-produced in mechani ..read more

Heat pumps: how much is enough?
CAREL
by Miriam Solana Ciprés
1M ago
Heat pumps are seen as a key technology in decarbonization since they do not emit carbon dioxide (CO2) when generating heat or cold from renewable sources while contributing to increasing the energy efficiency of buildings. They are able to provide high-performance heating and cooling by using electricity, thereby avoiding the emissions from gas, oil and coal boilers. Specifically, heat pumps have the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions by at least 500 million tonnes by 2030, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of all the cars in Europe today1. The high performance of heat pumps is der ..read more

Highly-efficient solutions for painting: Types of paint
CAREL
by Luca Brotto
2M ago
Painting and surface coating are widely used processes in the industrial manufacturing sector, where they provide decorative finishing and protection to products, from consumer goods such as smartphones and cars, to heavy industry and infrastructure. Depending on the required characteristics of the finished product, the paints used and the application technologies may vary, however the need for careful control of environmental parameters remains unchanged. For safety purposes, paint booths require the inside air to be continuously replaced with fresh air, with an air change rate of up to 300 ..read more

Building Energy Management Systems & Indoor Air Quality
CAREL
by Alberto Bussotti
2M ago
Buildings today are required to function with the highest levels of efficiency, constantly maintaining the correct balance between operational needs, environmental conditions - outside and inside - and energy consumption.  As part of this process, monitoring and control of all the fundamental parameters for indoor air quality is essential.  Being able to analyse systems that differ in terms of conditions and technologies, highlight deviations from optimal performance and make the information accessible to all types of users are the needs that we have been able to respond to, exploiti ..read more
