September 18 - Carrier India Wins Delhi Airport's Terminal 3 Project

Carrier Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Ltd. (Carrier India) has been awarded one of India's largest and most prestigious air-conditioning orders from Delhi International Airport (P) Limited (DIAL) for its upcoming Terminal 3. Carrier India's parent company is Carrier Corp.
Carrier will provide eight Evergreen 19XRD centrifugal chillers of 2500 tonnage refrigeration (TR) each for this project. This dual compressor centrifugal chiller represents cutting-edge heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology and is an ideal choice for large airports, shopping malls, commercial complexes, factories and district cooling plants.
The Evergreen 19XRD is Carrier's largest single-unit cooling capacity chiller employing non-ozone depleting refrigerant HFC-134-A. The chiller features Carrier-patented technology designed to improve indoor air quality and provide environmental benefits.
"We are proud to have been awarded such a prestigious project," said Mr. Zubin Irani, managing director, Carrier India. "Winning this project is further evidence that we are the customer's first choice for air-conditioning products. Carrier will provide high-quality products that help create a comfortable and healthy environment for both travelers and workers throughout this terminal."

September 18 - Danfoss EnVisioneering Symposium 2008

Danfoss announced the date and location for its ninth Envisioneering symposium.
Titled "The Challenge: Will Business Create an Energy-Efficient Built Environment?," this third symposium in the 2008 EnVisioneering Symposia Series will be held Nov. 14 at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif. In the United States. The symposium will take place in conjunction with the Air-conditioning Heating & Refrigeration Institute's (AHRI) annual meeting Nov. 16-18, also in Carlsbad.
Ten days following the U.S. presidential election, leaders in industry, finance, research and public policy will meet to address questions related to energy efficiency in the built environment. Among them:

• What energy goals will drive the new president and Congress?
• Will they drive radical change in the deployment of energy efficiency technology?
• Will energy efficiency technology mean stronger economic growth?
• Will new energy conditions alone transform the private-sector built environment?

September 16 - Daikin to Release Energy-Saving RACs

September 10, Daikin Industries announced that it will release a new high-end room air conditioner on Nov. 21 that promotes energy conservation by displaying electric utility expenses and the outdoor temperature as it cools.
The new Ururu Sarara R series has a heating function that is 30% better than models released 11 years ago and could help reduce power consumptionby about 32% annually.
One of its functions allows the room to be cooled for a short time and then automatically returned to a suitable room temperature thirty minutes or one hour later, thus preventing wasteful operation.
At a press conference in Tokyo, Daikin said that prices will be raised by around 10% on all air conditioners for fiscal 2009.
Daikin is targeting combined sales of 400,000 units per year for all models in the Ururu Sarara line.

September 13 - Government to Subsidize Home-Use Fuel Cell Systems

Countermeasures against the global warming whose inclusion in the 2009 budget is asked by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) have become clear. They will include a newly established subsidy system in which a householder introducing a home-use fuel cell cogeneration system can receive a subsidy for part of its purchase cost. Also, a subsidy system for clean diesel car purchasers will be established. These measures are intended to put spurs to reductions in ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions from homes and transportation. The Japanese government intends to intensively budget for the creation of low-carbon society.
Main countermeasures against the global warming include: (1) Spread of new energy with less greenhouse gas emissions; (2) Energy-saving measures; (3) Development of innovative technologies. The METI will ask for appropriation mainly in the Special Accounts for Energy whose source of revenue includes oil & coal taxes.
A fuel cell cogeneration system can greatly reduce CO2 emissions compared to previous systems. Tokyo Gas and other companies will begin selling them in earnest to homes from 2009. However, this system is expected to be priced high at about ?2 to 2.5 million even when mass produced. Additionally, it requires the installation cost.
Therefore, the METI has judged that, to spread home-use systems widely, it is necessary to reduce the burden on homes by establishing a new subsidy system. Although the upper limit of subsidy per home is not fixed, the METI intends to ask for an appropriation of over ?7 billion in the 2009 budget.
