Programme d'optimisation en réfrigération (OPTER) - volet agroalimentaire (in French only)Ce programme vise à améliorer les procédés de réfrigération dans le secteur de la transformation alimentaire. Plus spécifiquement, le programme servira à documenter la récupération de chaleur issue des systèmes de réfrigération et la réduction de la quantité de réfrigérant de synthèse. Les entreprises de transformation alimentaire à la veille d’investir dans un nouveau système de réfrigération industrielle (p. ex. : mise à niveau d’un système existant, agrandissement ou nouvelle installation) sont admissibles à ce programme. |
