Alufoil Trophy 2019 – "Resource Efficiency"
Hygrosieve® is a new type of lacquered aluminum which guarantees high speed adsorption/desorption of water moisture and a molecular sieve effect that, while improving the penetration of environmental moisture, rejects pollutants and other residues. This improves air circulation and cleanliness.
Hygrosieve® ensures in this way higher efficiency of the rotor with:
- a reduction of the flow rates of refrigerant fluid
- 15% less electrical energy consumption
