In this special, we present new innovations, examples of best practices and customer projects – from refrigeration technology to electromobility and heat pumps. While artificial intelligences are currently fundamentally changing our world, we at ebm-papst are already using AI today to develop sustainable, digital solutions. By the way: all cover images of the tech.mag were generated by an AI.
Continuous cooling or freezing of goods in supermarkets' sales and storage areas is essential for quality assurance. Fans play a central role here, both in supermarket cabinets for normal cooling and deep-freezing and in air conditioning systems in the supermarket building.»
Range and charging times are important parameters for electric vehicles. This is why fast charging processes are becoming increasingly popular and high-performance cooling concepts are required. They need to be well integrated and work reliably for a long time, even under harsh conditions. »
Air/water heat pumps are becoming an important pillar of more sustainable heat generation. This is where fans that work intelligently, quietly and economically at optimum efficiency come into play, as well as inverter electronics for the compressor drive that reduce operating noise through optimum commutation and also increase the energy efficiency of the heat pump.»
Vertical indoor farming is considered a promising future concept with numerous advantages. In particular, the yield per unit of area is significantly higher than in conventional agriculture, as the systems are operated all year round. Fans, drives and automation solutions play an important role in ensuring that the plants always have ideal conditions for growth.»
Event spaces experience two extremes: they are either unused or packed with people. The ventilation system in the event location Stiftskeller in Beutelsbach could no longer cope with the changing requirements: after a retrofit, it not only circulates air more efficiently but is also vigilant about the air quality using sensors. »
