Ensuring the Integrity of the European food chain (FOODINTEGRITY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Food Integrity “the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished or in perfect condition”.Providing assurance to consumers and other stakeholders about the safety, authenticity and quality of European food (integrity) is of prime importance in adding value to the European Agri-food economy. The integrity of European foods is under constant threat from fraudulently labelled imitations that try to ...

Environmentally Low Impact Cooling Technology (ELICIT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
This proposal outlines a range of activities that will help efficient gas-free magnetic cooling move from being a laboratory scale technology to being a high-volume marketable product. This project specifically focuses on the application of magnetic cooling technology to the domestic refrigeration market. This is a technology being developed by SMEs but which will eventually be used by global app ...

Development of an expansion valve to reduce energy consumption of cold vending machines and small commercial refrigeration systems (Expand)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
The European Vending Association (EVA) is composed of 20 national associations, who represent Europe's SME industry of machine and component manufacturers, suppliers of commodities (ingredients, confectionery, soft drinks) and operators. Our chilled vending sector is heavily based on older HFC refrigerant technology. In contrast Japan has embraced natural refrigerants and is the leading manufac ...

Development of a highly efficient, innovative beverage COOLer (iCOOL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
The total EU stock of beverage coolers is currently 6.3 million, which is nearly 50% of the total number of commercial display refrigerators in use. So far commercial refrigerators have remained outside EC legislation. However, this is likely to change as it is now generally accepted that commercial refrigerators offer significant potential for energy savings. A recent working document for the imp ...

A Novel Transport System for Slaughter Pigs (TRANSUS)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2013,
"There is considerable concern about the effects of transport and associated handling on the welfare of pigs. In the EU, regulations to protect animals during transport are laid down in Council Regulation 1/2005. Due to the small profit margins in the pig industry, however, improving pig welfare must go hand in hand with economic benefits to get a sustainable solution. This poses a challenge to al ...

Development of a Rapid Cooling technology for commercial refrigeration applications (RapidCool)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Commercial refrigerators and freezers are ubiquitous and are used in diverse environments such as supermarkets, grocery stores, service stations, restaurants, hotels, pubs, and cafés. The most visible are vending machines and open or closed refrigerated cabinets such as open display cabinets. Combined commercial refrigerator/freezers are estimated to consume 85TWh of electricity per annum. Althoug ...

A novel modular solar air source heat pump system (SOLARIS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
"There are 195 million households in Europe whose combined domestic heating needs account for 26% of Europe’s energy demand and 500 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Reducing this will be important if Europe is to achieve ambitious emission reduction targets, reduce its excessive reliance on imported energy and the decrease costs to households and industry. The most effective way to decent ...

Terrestrial energy recovery using advanced stirling heat-pumps for residential temperature management (TERRA THERMA)
Date du début: 15 déc. 2007, Date de fin: 14 déc. 2010,
Around 80% of the total domestic energy demand in Europe is used of heating and cooling, amounting to 2,600 TWh p.a, with the majority of heating provided by gas (50%). There are very few efficiency improvements to be made using conventional heaters and boilers, as most are already over 90% efficient. Therefore, alternative heating systems such as ground source heat pumps are seen as the future fo ...
