RE.CO. | Circular Industries. Ministerial Decree of December 31, 2021. Agreements for innovation within specific areas of intervention related to the second pillar of the "Horizon Europe" Program. | Recovery of Energy and Materials in the Tanning Sector: A Virtuous Model of Exportable Circular Economy Based on Research and Innovation The RECO project aims to implement new and innovative solutions within the tanning industry supply chain to promote circular practices and reduce associated environmental impacts. | 1 Apr 2023 – 2026 | CONCERIA SETTEBELLO S.P.A. | |
16957 | DEHUMID | FP6-2003-SME-1 Novel Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification System The project aim was to develop and test a low cost, compact and low energy consumption liquid desiccant-based dehumidification system. The advantages of this system were the improvement of air quality and comfort in indoor environments, humidity control and improved capacity of the refrigerant compressor. | 1 Oct 2005 - 30 Sep 2007 | HIREF S.P.A. | |
500229 | SHERHPA | FP6-2002-SME-2 Sustainable Heat and Energy Research for Heat Pump Applications This project aimed to develop efficient heat pumps in energy and cost terms, compliant with new environmental regulations through the use of natural refrigerants, such as propane and low-charge heat exchangers. | 1 Oct 2004 - 31 Dec 2007 | HIREF S.P.A. | |
218895 | GROUND-MED | FP7-ENERGY Advanced ground source heat pump systems for heating and cooling in Mediterranean climate The project involved the development of geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling, suitable for installation in Southern European countries with a typically Mediterranean climate. Part of the development work involved the optimisation of the “variable speed” concept applied to all the devices on board the heat pumps. | 1 Jan 2009 - 31 Dec 2013 | HIREF S.P.A. | |
656889 | GEOT€CH | H2020-LCE-2014-2 Geothermal Technology for €conomic Cooling and Heating The aim of the project was to develop more affordable heat pumps, simpler and faster to install in a plug-and-play system configuration. We also tested the use of low-GWP A2L refrigerants and the development of hybrid source heat pumps. | 1 May 2015 - 30 Apr 2019 | HIREF S.P.A. | |
657982 | CHEAP-GSHPs | H2020-LCE-2014-2 Cheap and efficient application of reliable ground source heat exchangers and pumps The project saw the development of new systems in the field of geothermal energy to reduce capital and running costs of the surface geothermal systems and to improve safety during installation and operation, particularly in historic and listed buildings. This project has facilitated the study and progress of transcritical CO2 technology applied to refrigerants in heat pumps. | 1 Jun 2015 - 31 May 2019 | Galletti Belgium HIREF S.P.A. | |
792355 | GEO4CIVHIC | H2020-LCE-2017-RES-IA Easier to install and more efficient geothermal systems for retrofitting buildings. The project involved the development of geothermal systems that are easier to install, efficient and above all suitable for fitting in historic or existing buildings. | Galletti Belgium HIREF S.P.A. |
