Eurovent announces new recommendation on IEC hybrid units

BRUSSELS, Belgium, 24 October 2023: Eurovent announced that it published its first-ever recommendation on hybrid Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC) equipment. Making the announcement through a Press release, Eurovent said the document was developed for the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) Project and is now available for download on the Eurovent website.

According to Eurovent, the new recommendation was developed in the framework of the cooperation between Eurovent and UNIDO. The association said its main objective is to specify the requirements and test methods for IEC hybrid units, to define how to calculate their energy efficiency ratio and their total cooling capacity, and to define a methodology suitable for Egypt’s working conditions. This recommendation, Eurovent added, provides testing references and quality reviews of the testing process.

Francesco Scuderi, Secretary General, Eurovent, said: “We are delighted to have worked with UNIDO in preparing this recommendation. It will be helpful in informing industry experts on the testing requirements and methods for IEC hybrid units. Furthermore, another important factor of the document is its specification on a methodology suitable for Egypt’s different climatic zones, as those zones may be suitable for IEC applications.”

Eurovent said that this document was published by Eurovent and prepared under a contract between UNIDO and Eurovent in the framework of the UNIDO Project No: 140400. The UNIDO Project, the association added, aims to provide technical assistance for the implementation of low GWP technology as well as examine the introduction of a not-in-kind technology, namely Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC). Eurovent also said the document can be downloaded free of charge in the Publications section on the Eurovent website.
