OEMs from the automotive, bus, truck, and train sectors, suppliers, R&D experts, policymakers, academics, and more will discuss the application of natural refrigerants in mobile air-conditioning (MAC) and heat pump systems at the ATMO MAC Summit 2024 × TU Berlin.
The event will be hosted by ATMOsphere, a global market accelerator for natural refrigerant-based systems, and Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin)’s Chair of Heat Transfer and Heat Conversion. It will be held on Thursday, September 12, and Friday, September 13, 2024, on the TU Berlin Campus.
keynote presentation
The MAC Summit will feature a keynote presentation from Volkswagen, “Insight into the Volkswagen Heat Pump With the Refrigerant R744,” delivered by Felix Nowak-Walenta, Test Engineer System and Vehicle Testing, and Carsten Wachsmuth, Research and Development.
Stefan Elbel, Professor and Head of TU Berlin’s Department of Heat Transfer and Conversion, will also deliver a keynote presentation titled “The Natural Choice – NatRefs for Mobile Air-Conditioning and Heat Pump Systems.” OEMs from the automotive and refrigeration sectors will also present technology case studies, including:
- Hanon Systems: Components and Systems for PFAS-Free AC and Heating of Passenger Cars
- Dorin and Eberspächer Sütrak: The Latest CO2 Reversible HVAC Units for Electric Buses
- Thyssenkrupp Dynamic Components: Thermal Management for Future EVs – The A/C Compressor
Designed for R744
Policymakers will present on topics including the PFAS restriction proposal, EU F-Gas Regulation, and MAC directive
OEMs will also take the stage to discuss implementing and scaling up CO2 (R744) and propane (R290) air-conditioning and heat pumps in cars, buses, trucks, and trains.
Policymakers will also present on topics including the PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated substances) restriction proposal, EU F-Gas Regulation, and MAC directive.
