22. Case Study
Rapidcool
Reducing energy consumption in commercial chillers,
refrigerators and freezers by up to 75%
Chilled food and drink dispensers are convenient and universal.
The problem is that maintaining a continuous chilled temperature is
highly demanding on energy.
With funding of €1.2m secured by Pera Technology through the EU
FP7 programme, the Rapidcool project developed a flexible, modular
cooling apparatus that can chill drinks cans and bottles from an
ambient 20°C to 4-6°C using less than 25-50kJ of energy.
The cooling chamber is designed as a standalone cooling unit and
could potentially replace traditional drinks-only open-cabinet fridges.
Early results are excellent. The Rapidcool system can save up to 75%
of the energy currently consumed by a conventional vending machine
or display cabinet, which equates to cost savings of around €250 per
machine per year.

23. Case Study
CompAir
New manufacturing process for the production of
thermoplastic composite structural aircraft components.
The Compair project was about the development of a processing
technology to manufacture structural components of complex
geometry using high performance thermoplastics. This involved
the creation of preforms which are over-moulded by engineering
thermoplastics.
The ultimate benefit is that such components enable the aircraft
industry to reduce its environmental impact through weight saving
and hence lower fuel consumption.
The other advantages of the current traditional carbon fibre
composite manufacturing technology is that the new thermoplastic
components are easily recyclable and the hand lay-up processes is
less labour intensive.
Pera Technology were a central research partner for the development
of the new manufacturing process for the carbon fibre preforms and
the advanced composites.
