Controlled Temperature: New Frontiers of the Cold and New Technological Challenges

As for many other sectors, the automotive sector pushes the controlled temperature market to innovate itself, introducing increasingly efficient (energy saving) and effective (comfort) technologies. Electric cars in particular, surely the future of worldwide automotive production, represent a challenge for builders. This is also a typical example of industry 4.0 (in which companies of different sectors collaborate for development). Let's not forget that it's not just people who benefit from controlled temperature: as batteries become larger, more powerful and important in their function, these too must be in an environment that preserves their integrity. Temperatures, in this case, oscillate between - 60 and +150 C° and with a relative humidity range from 10% to 95%, in a +5 to + 9 C° range. Some producers have thus found themselves developing specific climatic chambers for similar tests. Furthermore, controlled temperature during movement represents a challenge that has already begun years ago, but not for this it has exhausted: trains, planes and ships... not only cars, are continuously and exponentially growing technologies.

The IoT, the main technological trend in recent years - and destined to dominate the scene of the years to come - now enters fully entitled as one of the major points in both refrigeration and air conditioning. Let's take the example of industrial refrigerators management in a large supermarket chain: it is necessary to preserve food effectively and efficiently (with ever lower consumption and risks). Here comes WeRatio into play, which, with its software solutions, addresses the whole large distribution "ecosystem" but, let’s not forget, also the protagonists such as maintenance workers, refrigeration technicians, distributors and certifiers. Various professionals can benefit not only from a remote monitoring, but now also from a total remote control (and at ever lower costs). Not only: this control, in whole or in part, can be accessible to other more specialized subjects included in a context of Things Relationship Management. Here is how the impact of the Internet of Things suddenly becomes concrete and finalizes on people, processes and numerous levels of business.

Finally, let's not forget how the introduction of CO2 as Freon used in industrial compressors (Italy, among other things, came first with the Mario Dorin workshops producing systems based on this technology) needs more and more precise and sophisticated control mechanisms to contain risks.
