RAPIDCOOL Development of a Rapid Cooling technology for commercial refrigeration applications
Coordinator: Vending Marketing trgovina, storitve, marketing d.o.o. (SI)
Commercial refrigerators and freezers are ubiquitous and are used in diverse environments such as supermarkets, grocery stores, service stations, restaurants, hotels, pubs, and cafés. The most visible are vending machines and open or closed refrigerated cabinets such as open display cabinets. Combined commercial refrigerator/freezers are estimated to consume 85TWh of electricity per annum. Although incremental advancements in refrigeration technology have been made these do not nearly offset increasing use. These trends thus pose a significant risk to the EC’s overall commitment to reduce ene…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
Co-funding: the European Union contributes €903k toward a total project budget of €1.2M — a funding rate of 76%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2011-01-01 to 2012-12-31.
