EMAIR Emair is an established company representing local and international manufacturers . Products offered include an extensive range of textile ducting , air distribution products , dampers , adiabatic systems , close control units , chillers , and other accessories . The PRIHODA range of textile ducting and accessories will be exhibited at FRIGAIR 2022 .
Suitable for use in projects from factories to clean rooms , the ducts offer a flexible alternative to metal ducts , at reduced primary costs , with efficient air distribution and are easily installed . Purpose manufactured to specification , the ducts are available in a variety of shapes , colours , and sizes with options for customisation . The textile ducts are light weight , hygienic , washable and are available with antibacterial , antistatic , and other fabric treatments . Air distribution can be designed to suit terminal velocities required from laminar flow to high volume areas .
With the use of dedicated software , we offer duct design assistance and recommendations based on individual requirements , flow patterns and other technical parameters are also provided .

ENERGY PARTNERS Refrigeration accounts for about 35 % of electricity consumption within the food industry , and demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6 % – in short it is a big and growing consumer .
Electricity consumption contributes between 60 % and 75 % of the life cycle cost of refrigeration systems and is the primary driver of CO₂ emissions mainly through the fossil fuelled power stations in South Africa . The second highest contribution comes from refrigerant gas leaks in synthetic refrigerant systems .
Based on the servitisation concept , Cooling as a Service ( CaaS ) is an innovative solution that , when combined with natural refrigerants , addresses both the direct and indirect contributions of refrigeration system to global warming while providing the end-user with the lowest life cycle cost .
CaaS overcomes key market barriers to clean and efficient cooling , by enabling customers to make investment decisions based on optimised life-cycle cost ( as opposed to capital cost only ) and enable the deployment of natural refrigerants with inherently low to zero GWP and ODP values .
For FRIGAIR 2022 , Energy Partners will showcase real case studies of the successful deployment of natural refrigerants through the CaaS model , achieving guaranteed reduction targets in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions while increasing our customer ’ s profitability in the long term .
