ARBS 2018 off to a solid start

ARBS 2018, the air conditioning, refrigeration and building services exhibition, hit the ground running in Sydney yesterday.

Over 300 exhibitors have assembled at the ICC Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour for this year’s event and in excess of 9,000 visitors are expected to walk through the doors.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Australia (MHIAA) is one of the exhibitors at ARBS 2018. Among other things, the company is showcasing its Q-ton – an air-to-water hot water solution which utilises CO2 gas as a refrigerant.

Suitable for use by food processors, distillers and other manufacturers, the Q-ton (pictured) addresses two of the biggest issues facing manufacturers, namely energy costs and sustainability.

Given that food and beverage manufacturers use hot water for everything from plant washdowns to pasteurisation, they need an affordable and reliable hot water supply. According to MHIAA the Q-ton is often a wise solution to this need.

Apart from the exhibitors, ARBS 2018 also features an extensive speaker series as well as the Awards Gala Presentation Dinner which take place tonight at the International Convention Centre Ballroom, Darling Harbour.

The categories being contested include:

  • ARBS Young Achiever Award
  • ARBS Project Excellence Award
  • ARBS Product Excellence Award
  • ARBS Software/Digital Excellence Award
  • ARBS Outstanding Industry Education/Training Award
  • ARBS Outstanding Service & Maintenance Award
  • ARBS Hall of Fame 2018

ARBS 2018 concludes tomorrow (May 10) at 4pm.
