TURBOALGOR SRL

Turboalgor is a SMALL Italian BUSINESS that produces energy efficiency systems for refrigeration systems. We have a clear objective: to reduce the environmental impact of the cold chain. Today, the environmental impact of the cold chain is responsible for almost 20% of global electricity consumption (and this percentage is expected to increase in the near future). Nature remains the greatest resource for each of us, which is why it is important that technologies evolve to impact less and less on the environment. Turboalgor actively participates in this ambitious project, making it possible to reduce electricity costs linked to refrigeration systems and reducing CO2 emissions. The research and development activity undertaken over the years by TURBOALGOR has led, among other things, to the registration of the following families of patents: 180867 (refrigeration apparatus and related operating method), 210601 (device for regulating pressure and/or or temperature of the refrigerant fluid entering a compressor of a refrigeration apparatus, relative refrigeration apparatus and method of operation of said regulation device) and 14688 (refrigerating device and method for circulating a refrigerating fluid associated with it), relating to various efficiency devices, depending on the type of refrigerant used, and their location within the refrigeration cycle. The first patent led to the creation of an efficiency kit for refrigeration systems (increase in refrigeration power and reduction in electricity consumption). This technology can be combined with existing and/or newly produced refrigeration systems and is associated with the use of HFC refrigerants. This refrigerant is polluting and according to European legislation F-GAS will soon be abandoned in favor of other environmentally sustainable refrigerants. The efficiency kit proposed by Turboalgor can also be easily extended to HFO refrigerants and Propane. The efficiency kit can have a new life. The second and third patent led to the creation (in the testing and industrialization phase) of a kit to improve the efficiency of transcritical refrigeration systems that use CO2. Turboalgor-CO2 increases CoP by 23% (18.7% efficiency) and cooling capacity by 42%, with the same main compressor power. The costs of Turboalgor-CO2 are very low compared to parallel compression (-50%), allowing for very high price elasticity and a very low pay back (< 2 years). Turboalgor-CO2 does not consume electricity and is very easy to manage.
