MERITA

The project's main objective is to demonstrate a significant reduction of energy consumption for cooling in the vessels is possible thanks to a thermoacoustic refrigerator using waste heat.
At the technical level, it will validate the scale factor to be taken to achieve high power.
At the scientific level, it will adapt the tools of design, to develop a wave generator to receive specialized acoustic energy from waste heat and its coupling with the thermoacoustic refrigeration system ..
At the industrial level, it will validate the feasibility of economic cost components of the system and lay the groundwork for the creation of a chain of manufacturing systems "cold" in the western region.
