The Keyter Intarcon Genaq Award, granted to Daniel Sánchez Guerrero for his innovative Master’s Thesis.
The Keyter Intarcon Genaq Award aims to recognize the best Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Final Project on a topic related to the study of the following areas: air conditioning, refrigeration, water production, or technologies related to these fields. In its inaugural edition, it was presented to Daniel Sánchez Guerrero for his outstanding research work titled “Thermodynamic Analysis of an Ecobooster Cascade Cycle with R290 and R600 for High-Temperature Water Production”, submitted as part of the Master’s in Industrial Engineering.
The award ceremony took place on Wednesday, October 18th at 12:30 PM at the laboratories of the CATEPS building of the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Seville. The event was attended by José Manuel Salmerón, Director of the Keyter Intarcon Genaq Chair, José María Raya, CEO of Intarcon, Antonio Blanco, CEO of Keyter, and, of course, the awardee.
Daniel Sánchez’s award-winning research project focuses on the thermodynamic analysis of an innovative Ecobooster Water-to-Water Heat Pump in a cascade setup, which uses refrigerants R290 and R600a for high-temperature water production. His study centered on the entire thermodynamic cycle of the system and the selection of key components.
The main goal of this groundbreaking system is to heat water from the source at 12ºC, raising its temperature in two stages to 50ºC and 90ºC, respectively. Daniel’s work explored the feasibility of this process and its capacity to efficiently achieve the desired temperature.
The Keyter Group takes pride in promoting excellence in research and development in the field of air conditioning, refrigeration, and atmospheric water production technologies. This award reflects the ongoing commitment of all the companies within the Keyter Group to education and innovation (R&D+i), which are essential elements for the advancement and development of the industry.
The recognition given to Daniel Sánchez is a testament to the quality and innovative vision driving the Keyter Intarcon Genaq Chair at the University of Seville and the entire Keyter Group. Projects like these and the research they represent are crucial in improving efficiency and sustainability in the fields of air conditioning, refrigeration, and atmospheric water production. The Keyter Group hopes that this award will inspire more young individuals to pursue innovative solutions and continue working towards a more sustainable and efficient future.
