refrigeration by giving these entities
opportunities to network, learn about
new trends in policy/technology/
markets, and present their products/
services. These conferences can target
whole continents, countries, or in the
case of Cape Town, zones that have a
high potential for development in

but the fantastic atmosphere in the halls
where experts came together with other
experts. Chillventa is therefore once
again impressively underscoring its role
as the most important gathering for the
international refrigeration community
including the segments AC, ventilation
and heat pumps,” says Daniela
Heinkel, exhibition director Chillventa at
NürnbergMesse.
There has always been a strong
international contingent of exhibitors
and visitors at Chillventa. This is also clear
evidence of the global focus of the sector.
Two-thirds of exhibitors come from outside
Germany. The top five international
participants are Italy, China, Turkey, Spain
and France, with the UK, the USA, Belgium,
the Czech Republic and the Netherlands
in the top ten.
In 2018, there was a great atmosphere
in the packed exhibition halls at Chillventa,
where experts met and talked with other
experts. This positive image was also
confirmed by the independent exhibitor
poll, in which 94% of exhibiting companies
stated that the event had been a success
for them. Around 95% were able to forge
new business contacts and nine out of ten
companies expected follow-on business
from the event. Even before the fair was
over, nine out of ten exhibitors said that
they would be back in 2020.
The Chillventa Congress, along with
the Exhibitor Forums in the halls, offered
sound professional insights into the latest
hot topics in the industry. “In more than
200 presentations over four days and at
seven different locations, conference
participants and forum visitors were able
to get comprehensive information about
the industry including components,
systems and applications for the segments
refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat
pumps,” explained Dr Rainer Jakobs,
technical consultant and coordinator of
the supporting programme at Chillventa.
In 2018, the trade fair, exhibitor forums
and Congress also focused on the
Internet of Things (IoT), the IT security of
refrigeration systems, implementation
of the 42nd regulation on evaporative
cooling (BImSchV), current climate targets,
eco-design, reclamation and treatment of
refrigerants, F-gas regulations, efficiency
through controls, innovation in heat
transfer, air conditioning of data centres,
heat recovery and system solutions for
cold water.
Visitors can expect all this and more at
the upcoming show. For information visit
