Chillventa: What are the most important technical, political and
market-orientated variables influencing the room air conditioner
segment at present
Bernd Brinkmann: The major criteria for room air conditioners
i nclude energy efficiency, low noise level in operation and sensible
filter functions. This year, the massive effect that trust in the sustainability
of economic growth can have on positive market development
is also very clear.
Chillventa: What activities and solutions do the manufacturers of
room air conditioners offer in response to these requirements and
challenges
Bernd Brinkmann: The technical challenges created by political and
consumer requirements have been implemented impressively quickly
by most of the major manufacturers.
Chillventa: What role will be played by the new Chillventa exhibition
in October 2008
Bernd Brinkmann: After the great “wave” of technical changes –
virtually completed by the change to refrigerant R410A and the
introduction of inverter technology – Chillventa in Nuremberg offers
the ideal platform for presenting further product optimizations and
perhaps even new technologies in a pleasant environment.
