Holistic concepts in interior design
The Baumann collection showcases a modern hotel suite.
Baumann Dekor, Austria is a supplier of
holistic interior design concepts for
residential projects, hotels and cruise ships.
The company provides an extensive range
of high-quality woven and printed
upholstery and curtain fabrics with a broad
collection of Trevira CS qualities. Its state-ofthe-art
production facilities include weaving,
printing, dyeing and finishing.
In cooperation with seven strategic
partner companies, Baumann Dekor
launched at Heimtextil, Frankfurt, Germany
in January a hotel showroom with a living
and sleeping area showcasing the latest
In marine air conditioning and refrigeration,
two issues are top of today’s agenda: energy
conservation and the phasing out of R22.
Unfortunately these two objectives are in
conflict: cooling capacity is either
maintained at the expense of higher power
consumption, or power consumption is
reduced at the expense of lower plant
cooling capacity. It is not possible to achieve
both at the same time without changing out
main mechanical components of the system.
While there are many claims that new
refrigerant blends can solve this problem,
Johnson Controls Marine states that only
equipment makers are able to deliver
optimal and sustainable plant performance
when replacing R22.
Size does matter: while new refrigerant
sales reps often refer to trials and tests
carried out on small systems (a few
kilowatts), AC cooling capacity installed on a
90,000 GRT cruise ship is some 15MW.

Baumann recently launched a contract
collection, BAUMANN INSPIRATIONS 2011,
which includes three themes: PROFILES,
CHARACTERS and ILLUSIONS.
PROFILES presents itself in a
pronounced sublime relief structure with
three dimensional effects.
This appearance is achieved by
combining shrinkable yarn with
dimensionally stable yarn. The fabrics offer

R22 and energy efficiency
An optimal R22 retrofit may result in plant
performance differences of up to 20%
compared to a less well engineered quick
fix. For the annual operation of a typical
cruise ship this equates as:
��
��
��
2,000,000kW/h electric consumption
$200,000 in fuel costs
1,300,000kgs of CO2 emissions
This clearly demonstrates the importance
of optimising an R22 retrofit solution. Highly
trained service engineers can also identify
and suggest remedial actions required to
bring the plant up to maximal performance.

themselves as an eye-catching highlight
in any interior.
CHARACTERS consists of faux unis,
chenille fabrics and classic upholstery
designs that complement the other two
themes. The final theme, ILLUSIONS,
distinguishes itself with a simulated
folding structure and has a leather-like
appearance with glossy effects. By using
subtle interlacing techniques a light and
shadow effect is achieved that causes a
shine. The main colour varieties are petrol
and emerald green combined with yellow
or anthracite-brown plus warm
blackberry/pink with shades of yellow.
The print collection plays with seven
different patterns in five colour variations.
Beige, cream, anthracite or aubergine/lilac
combined with a cream base; shades of
orange combined with natural colours as
well as a vintage theme with kiwi, mauve/
turquoise and shades of beige. �
