Chillventa

If Milan stays cool, it means our industry is doing everything right. Our colleagues Daniela Heinkel and Lena Strauch are currently at MCE Mostra Convegno Expocomfort in Milan. A trade fair with which we’ve enjoyed a long-standing cooperation. Together with our Chillventa and NürnbergMesse Italia | Fiera di Norimberga | Eventi internazionali | Eventi Nazionali team, we are even represented with our own stand. We are particularly pleased about the many conversations with exhibitors we’ll be meeting again in October at #Chillventa. Thank you for the great exchange, the inspiring insights and the shared outlook on the future of our industry. ➡️ Save the Date: 13–15 October 2026!

Save the date for Chillventa 2026! From 13 to 15 October, the international refrigeration, air‑conditioning, ventilation and heat pump community will once again gather in Nuremberg. #Chillventa provides a comprehensive overview of current developments and emerging technologies. From components and systems to solutions focused on energy efficiency, sustainability and digitalisation. Chillventa is known for connecting experts. Nowhere else will you meet so many international specialists from across the HVAC&R sector in one place. Why it’s also worth marking your calendar: · A dedicated space for exchanging ideas with experts from around the world · Insights into innovations shaping the industry today and in the future · Opportunities to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones ➡️ Who will be joining us? Let us know in the comments.

What normal people see vs. what HVAC&R professionals can’t unsee ... Most people walk into a room and notice… nothing. Just a unit. Just a system. Just “air”. But you? ➡️ You hear the compressor before you even step inside. ➡️ You spot the airflow problem the moment the door opens. ➡️ You know exactly which component is about to fail long before it does. Because where others see a system, you see the whole story. Agree? 👀 Then you’re definitely part of the industry. What’s something only technicians notice instantly but everyone else completely misses? ➡️ Write it in the comments or share a picture with us!

The future is flammable!? As the refrigeration and heat pump industry continues its transition toward more climate‑friendly solutions, flammable refrigerants are becoming increasingly important. With natural and low‑GWP refrigerants gaining momentum, the question is no longer if we will work with flammable refrigerants, but how we ensure their safe and responsible use. In our interview, Jörg Saar, Global Solutions Manager at Danfoss, highlights exactly this point. ➡️ Accepting that flammable refrigerants will play a key role in the future is only the first step. ➡️ Equally important are proper training and knowledge: understanding how to design safe systems, how to ensure a safe working environment, and how technicians can work confidently and safely with these refrigerants. ➡️ As the industry evolves, education, training, and the exchange of expertise will be essential to support this transition. At #Chillventa, we are pleased to provide a platform where experts from around the world can discuss developments such as these — both at the exhibition and at the Chillventa CONGRESS. 💬 What are your experiences with flammable refrigerants? We look forward to hearing your insights and continuing the conversation.

Strong partnerships begin with real conversations often long before #Chillventa opens its doors. Lena Strauch and Rebecca Löw from our team visited EuroShop – The World´s No. 1 Retail Trade Fair this week and took the opportunity to meet several exhibitors who will also be part of Chillventa 2026. They were able to reconnect with many familiar faces and engage in valuable discussions including a visit to CAREL, where they met Marisol Pezzutto, Roberta Cavaliere and Arianna Bozzolan as well as representatives from other companies across the refrigeration, air‑conditioning, ventilation and heat pump sectors. Encounters like these once again highlight the importance of personal exchange within our industry. ➡️ Have you saved the date for Chillventa? ➡️ 13–15 October 2026! See you in Nuremberg!

Stop! You’re not coming in. At least not with this refrigerant. 👀 The EU has tightened its import and customs regulations for F‑gases. In the past, customs carried out the checks. Today, importers must prove themselves that their refrigerant is legally compliant. To bring any refrigerant into the EU, you now need: 1️⃣ Registration of the company in the EU F‑Gas Portal 2️⃣ A valid F‑gas registration number 3️⃣ A valid quota or import authorisation 4️⃣ A complete proof of origin and supply chain documentation If even one of these elements is missing, the result is clear: Customs stop. No import. No exceptions. Many are still unaware, but: These requirements apply to every single refrigerant import into the EU. ➡️ Has anyone come across these documentation requirements in practice? The #Chillventa team would be very interested to hear about your experience.

“The last 5–6 years have seen more technological progress in industrial heat pumps than the previous half‑century.” A powerful observation from Ivan Rangelov (Danfoss Climate Solutions) and one that perfectly reflects the momentum in our industry.   We spoke with Ivan about two key questions: 🔹 What positive experiences has he had with industrial heat pumps in the decarbonisation of industrial processes? 🔹 And which developments does he see especially in the food and beverage sector?   In the video, he explains why: ➡️ technological innovation is accelerating faster than ever, ➡️ cross‑industry collaboration is becoming a major driver, ➡️ and heat pump solutions for steam generation up to 130–140°C are coming within reach opening doors for real fossil‑free operation in food & beverage.   🎥 His message is clear: the potential is huge but we need action now. Watch the full video to hear Ivan’s perspective. 👉 What’s your view on the future of industrial heat pumps and high‑temperature applications? Share your thoughts in the comments!

CHILLVENTA CONNECTING EXPERTS. Not only in Nuremberg, but worldwide.   This week, the world may not be coming to us, but we are visiting our partners instead. After all, genuine exchange happens face to face. At the moment, Daniela Heinkel is attending the AHR Expo in Las Vegas. She particularly enjoyed meeting Tobias Stein from ZIEHL-ABEGG SE, Luigi Rossettini from Aermec, Flemming Lundberg Poulsen from SAMON, Richard Apodaca from Uniweld Products, Inc. as well as Bruce Thompson from NürnbergMesse North America. Encounters like these highlight once again just how valuable personal contact is and how vibrant our international partnerships continue to be.   ➡️ With every meeting, our anticipation for #Chillventa in October grows. See you in Nuremberg!

While temperatures are dropping back home, the HVAC&R community is coming together in the best possible way: through real conversations. The HVAC&R sector thrives on genuine encounters, spontaneous discussions and honest exchange. That is exactly why Daniela Heinkel, our Director of #Chillventa, is travelling across the United States this week: to meet the people who shape this industry and who have been valued companions of Chillventa for many years.   The first highlights already took place over the weekend at the ASHRAE Welcome Party held on the occasion of the AHR Expo, as well as at the Global Partners Reception hosted by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) LATAM. Familiar faces from across the industry and long‑standing friends from around the world came together.    Over the weekend, Daniela Heinkel had the opportunity to speak with numerous partners and associations. And, as so often, it became clear once again: The most valuable impulses emerge through open conversations about challenges, developments and what lies ahead.   We are already looking forward to welcoming many of these partners again at Chillventa from 13-15 October 2026. ➡️ Who will be joining us?
