Samenwerken en verantwoordelijkheid nemen om voedselderving in keten terug te brengen
Eric Prieur komt special voor het congres uit Frankrijk naar Nederland om een lezing te houden over voedselderving. Volgens hem is het belangrijk dat de hele vers sector, inclusief installateurs en fabrikanten van apparatuur, zich bewust zijn van de voedselderving die in de keten plaatsvindt. Onderzoek maakt duidelijk dat 40 procent van vers voedsel verloren gaat. En dat terwijl er meer dan 800 miljoen mensen wereldwijd ondervoed zijn. De gigantische hoeveelheid voedsel die verloren gaat betekent tevens dat massa’s CO2 voor niets in de atmosfeer komen en dat jaarlijks een bedrag van die keer het Nederlandse nationaal product voor niets wordt uitgegeven. Het grootste deel van de voedselderving vindt plaats in de distributieketen. Om dat terug te brengen vindt Prieur het tijd dat de partijen in de keten meer hun verantwoordelijkheid nemen en gaan samenwerken.

Refrigeration and-air-conditioning-by-iit-kgpOlumide Daniel
Natural refrigeration methods have been used for centuries and include:
1) Transporting ice from colder regions or harvesting ice in winter and storing it for summer use in insulated ice houses.
2) Producing ice at night by exposing water to the cold night sky through radiation cooling.
3) Evaporative cooling methods like storing water in porous earthen pots or using wet straw mats.
4) Cooling water by dissolving salts in it, which causes an endothermic reaction that lowers the temperature.
Artificial refrigeration methods developed more recently include:
1) Vapour compression systems used initially for domestic refrigeration and later for air conditioning.
2) Vap
The document summarizes the basic vapor compression refrigeration cycle. It consists of four main processes: (1) compression of refrigerant vapor in a compressor, (2) condensation of the high-pressure vapor into a liquid in a condenser, (3) expansion of the high-pressure liquid through a throttling valve or expansion device, and (4) evaporation of the low-pressure liquid in an evaporator. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the evaporator and releases heat in the condenser, allowing for transfer of heat from low to high temperature regions. The coefficient of performance (COP) measures the efficiency of the cycle. Proper selection of refrigerant depends on the application.

The document suggests that Google would further disrupt the industry by open sourcing trucks and focusing on building service platforms rather than just vehicles.
This document summarizes the basic components and process of a refrigeration cycle. It outlines the four main components: compressor, condenser, metering device, and evaporator. It describes that the compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator. In the condenser, heat is removed from the refrigerant as it cools and changes state into a liquid. The metering device then regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the surrounding air and changes back into a vapor before returning to the compressor to repeat the cycle.
This document provides an overview of a training session on energy equipment refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It discusses types of refrigeration including vapor compression and vapor absorption. It also covers assessing the performance of refrigeration and air conditioning systems, such as measuring tons of refrigeration and coefficient of performance.

2. Hauling trucks are vehicles that carry big, heavy loads to the streets for delivery. For
them to ensure a safe transport, they need to be heavy-duty and equipped with the
necessary safety-enhancing parts and accessories.
Every year, trucks and other big vehicles cause thousands of accidents, injuries,
property loss, and deaths on the road. To address this problem, the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration listed the following accessories as necessary for a safe
trucking operation.
Parts and Accessories That Enhance Safety
Below is a summary of Part 393.95 of the document.
Trucks, tractors, and buses must have the following emergency equipment:
• Fire extinguishers
Vehicles must have fire extinguishers that are accurately marked with the
Underwriters’ Laboratory Rating. Units that transport hazardous chemicals and
substances must have a rating of 10 B:C or more. Those that will not transfer
hazardous substances must have an extinguisher with a rating not lower than 5
B:C. They may also have two extinguishers with a minimum rating of 4 B:C.
3. • Labels
Visible labels on the extinguisher and on the containers of the substances are
necessary to ensure careful handling and usage. Specific instructions from the
manufacturer and other details, such as color codes and safety practices, must
be written on the labels.
• Extra fuses
Vehicles must have provisions for different types of fuses necessary for the
operations. Spares for each type and size are required.
• Warning devices for stopped vehicles
Units must have at least six fusees or liquid-burning flares. Fusees must be able
to burn for at least half an hour. Liquid-burning flares should be able to burn
continuously for at least an hour. These devices, however, are prohibited in
vehicles carrying hazardous substances. Other warning devices such as signal
lights need to be working properly.
