September 30, 10:30 - 11:30: Illegal Fluids: Technical, Human, and Criminal Risks
- Traffic overview, European figures
- Danger of practicing mixing fluids.
- What actions should be taken (reporting, customs, authorities)?
- Technical and criminal risks
- Ex of European sanctions
01-Oct, 10:00 - 11:20: AI and IoT for energy efficiency: towards intelligent management of refrigeration installations
Thanks to AI and IoT, refrigeration systems are becoming smarter, more communicative, safer, and more efficient. Continuous performance monitoring, automatic refrigerant leak detection, real-time COP tracking, and preventive alerts are all features of these technologies, which help optimize energy consumption while reducing risks. However, their deployment also raises legal issues: liability in the event of failure, processing of collected data, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. This conference will take stock of current innovations and the legal implications to anticipate in order to take full advantage of these tools.
September 30, 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.: Kitchen: How to manage the obligation to integrate reconditioned equipment?
At a time when environmental requirements are becoming more stringent, the catering sector must adapt to a new regulatory constraint: the obligation for public contracts to integrate reconditioned equipment into the design or renovation of kitchens.
- What equipment is affected?
- What solutions are available on the market? How can we combine performance, hygiene, and safety in an environment as demanding as a professional kitchen?
A conference for all professionals concerned by the ecological transition in the field of kitchen equipment for collective catering.
September 30, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: How are components adapting to the new challenges brought about by regulations? Compressors, exchangers, gas coolers, regulation, etc.
Environmental regulations, energy efficiency requirements... refrigeration components (compressors, exchangers, gas coolers, control systems) are at the heart of the sector's transformation. This conference presents current technological developments and manufacturers' concrete responses to combine performance, compliance, and sustainability.
September 30, 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.: Implementing flammable materials in tertiary and public buildings for air conditioning and heat pumps (PAC)
The integration of flammable fluids is progressing in air conditioning and heat pump systems, including in commercial and public buildings. But how can they be integrated safely and compliantly? This conference discusses best practices, regulatory limitations, and technical solutions for successfully implementing these sensitive installations.
