Industrial development
Technology transfer to Russian enterprises
Technology transfer at KPP Nord allowed to start production of more energy efficient CO2 refrigeration systems. According to the calculations provided in the feasibility study, the improvement of energy efficiency reaches 30% (depending on the climate zone).
This part of the Project activities was supported by a workshop, “Organization of manufacture of CO2 refrigeration equipment. Working model of CO2 refrigeration plant for a retail food store” participated by representatives of the refrigeration sector.
A pilot CO2 plant developed under the Project demonstrates advantages of using CO2 in refrigeration systems and represents an option to improve energy efficiency up to 30%.
Technology transfer at Ostrov included establishing and equipping a research laboratory with a working model of HC refrigeration plant with heat recovery function for mini hotels with shops and laundry, and launching manufacture of small-charge HC machines.
This part of the Project activities was supported by a three-part workshop, “Working models of a standard mini hotel with a shop and laundry based on natural refrigerants” participated by representatives of the refrigeration sector.
A pilot HC-based plant demonstrates advantages of using hydrocarbons in refrigeration. Energy efficiency of such equipment reaches 15-30% and heat recovery saves extra up to 25% of electrical energy. The calculations have been provided in the feasibility study.
As part of the conversion, two Russian systems houses, Vladipur and Dow-Izolan, were transferred a foaming technology based on methyl formate, a foaming agent. In this regard, a new approach to their production process was successfully developed and applied, including test of new component A and manufacture of pilot batches.
This part of the Project activities was supported by a study tour and workshops on using methyl formate in PU insulation for key foam industry stakeholders held at Vladipur, including a joint workshop, “Ozone-safe technologies in the foam sector” organized in Moscow on 16.09.2015 by MNRE, UNIDO and ICSTI. The other workshop, on use of methyl formate as a foaming agent in manufacture of PU insulation, was organized in Vladimir, 24-25.11.2015.
The transfer of energy efficient technologies to Biryusa, SEPO-ZEM, etc. allowed, inter alia, to upgrade manufacturing equipment thus ensuring further improvement of energy efficiency.
For example, high EE values at Biryusa were reached by modification of manufacturing equipment which allowed to reduce painting temperatures to ensure energy saving during non-stop operation.
Launch of new production equipment at SEPO-ZEM increased overall output while minimizing energy costs per item produced.
Also, energy efficiency of the enterprise production improved. According to the official letter, energy efficiency reached 25%, as compared to planned 15%.
Phase out of ODS in the foam and refrigeration sectors
