In 2025, the next international exhibition HVAC R, dedicated to air conditioning, refrigeration, and ventilation, was held. The event lasted for 3 days: from June 17th to 19th in West Africa, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. The fair is held every year at the Parc des Expositions d’Abidjan. HVAC R is a trade fair, meaning that visitors can not only familiarize themselves with new systems and check their operation, but also sign a contract for the supply of equipment. If you need to order wholesale air conditioners and fans right now, you should go to the B2B Globy platform.
Ivory Coast HVAC R & Water Expo
This year, the exhibition attracted many exhibitors who presented new developments in the field of air conditioning. New systems for cooling the air and creating a microclimate in offices, halls, or residential areas were presented at the stands. It should be remembered that in the summer, it is important not only to cool the air but also to dry it, reducing humidity. At the same time, the air flow should not be too intense so that the risk of colds among staff and residents is minimal. Convection is a branch of physics that studies the movement of air currents. Modern convection systems are tuned in such a way that hot and cool air mix evenly. Within the framework of the fair, there was a discussion of problems related to air conditioning, and experts, scientists, and environmentalists spoke.
Environmental Safety and the Objectives of the Expo
Of course, environmental safety is of great importance, since the release of freon and some other gases into the atmosphere is prohibited by the Montreal Protocol. The production, repair, and disposal of cooling systems should be carried out in accordance with the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. New air conditioners using new safe refrigerants were discussed at the exhibition. It should be remembered that refrigeration equipment must be checked on time, including replacing filters and checking pipes for refrigerant leaks. In this case, we can talk about a long service life of the devices and about sufficient security. So, let’s list the main tasks of HVAC R:
- demonstration of new refrigeration equipment;
- presentation of smart systems;
- discussion of environmental issues;
- debate on water purification in the region;
- overview of new ventilation systems, and so on.
Water Purification and Smart Technologies
At the HVAC R exhibition, the most important topic for 2025 was touched upon – water purification. There is a shortage of drinking water in West Africa. This is due to the fact that a lot of silt, sand, and clay get into reservoirs and rivers. Turbid water requires purification, and additional filtration stations are needed for this. It is possible to improve the quality of water purification only by using the latest systems. The West African region is becoming a more attractive place to invest, and every year, more and more investors appear at the exhibition, investing in the construction of new filtration units.
Now, let’s say some words about smart technologies. Intelligent air conditioners that can analyze the air condition, measure its parameters, and create comfortable working and leisure conditions aroused great interest at the HVAC R fair. A big plus is that smart systems allow you to control air conditioners remotely or set up automatic operation.
Ventilation Systems at the HVAC R
Ventilation in buildings for various purposes is also of great importance. This issue was actively discussed at HVAC R. To create forced ventilation, you need to use fans and pipelines arranged according to the scheme. If ventilation was not provided at the design stage of the building, it can be added after completion of construction. Modern ventilation systems make it possible to create more comfortable working and living conditions. Ventilation is needed in many industries: on cattle farms, factories, and garages. Barns, warehouses, and storage facilities must also have ventilation. New ventilation systems were demonstrated at HVAC R, and their benefits and disadvantages were discussed. You can read more about the fair in the “Energy Events” section on Globy. To sum up, HVAC R was a success in 2025: many contracts and agreements were signed. Next year, the exhibition will be held in Côte d’Ivoire again, and you can participate by pre-registration.
