Series of ‘Climate Connect’ programs initiated by Emerson in India

Emerson Climate Technologies, the world’s leading provider of HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration) solutions, has initiated a series of “Emerson Climate Connect” programs in India, keeping with the company’s commitment to focus on the unique and changing needs of India’s HVACR industry. The programs tackle the pressing challenges the HVACR industry is facing today – which include developing and marketing energy efficient products while ensuring manufacturing costs do not shoot up inappropriately. The first two events from the series were held on March 14, 2014 at Chennai and March 21, 2014 at Bengaluru, and have already sparked considerable interest. A galaxy of Emerson’s OEM partners participated in the event. These included Blue Star, Climaveneta, Emerson Network Power, Hitachi, Ingersoll Rand, Mech World Eco and Swegon Blue Box. A host of HVACR industry professionals, including Architects, Estate Developers, Consultants and Institutional customers were present at these meets.

Sridar Narayanswami, Vice President & Managing Director & Emerson Climate Technologies (India) Ltd. said, “Globally, manufacturers are looking at optimizing costs and providing services more effectively. India market is no different. We are continually striving to develop more and more energy efficient solutions, while ensuring that our offerings are tailored for the unique requirements of the Indian industry. We are positioned just right in the industry currently with a perfect mix of a wide range of solutions and a great set of partners”.

The programs elaborated on the various environmental and energy challenges facing the HVACR industry in India today. The highlight of the event was the showcase of the entire range of Emerson Climate Technologies’ products for various air-conditioning applications, for the benefit of the industry. The showcase included the Modulated Systems developed for commercial air-conditioning systems with VRF, Precision AC and Chillers. The program included a discussion on the increasing success of commercial air-conditioning systems using Multi-scroll Chillers in European markets due to its superior energy efficiency performance and a host of other benefits.

Also on the agenda was the use of Heat-Pumps for Water Heating & Cooling and its environmental and energy efficiency benefits. Detailed case studies demonstrating the use of heat pumps at a 3 star hotel and on the campus of an IT major made the discussion robust and interactive.

The heart-warming response of the industry to the two programs has been very encouraging. The ‘Emerson Climate Connect’ series has similar programs planned in various other cities across India.
