Ras Al Khaimah Airport to integrate green tech in terminal expansion
Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RAK Airport) will integrate advanced sustainable technology as part of its expansion, becoming the first airport in the Middle East and Asia to use DYNAES's energy efficiency solutions, the state news agency WAM has reported. The airport, a key gateway for the emirate's tourism and economy, is expanding its terminal building and prioritising sustainability, WAM said. Air conditioning systems are a major energy cost for airports, and consultants ARTELIA Airport and STG Contracting proposed Dynaes technology, which was recently presented at Dubai COP28, to civil aviation authorities. Sheikh Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Head of Department of Civil Aviation in Ras Al Khaimah and Chairman of the Board of the Airport, stated: 'RAK Airport joined already 2023 the Retrofit Energy Program of the Municipality and now showcases even with new technologies how aged infrastructure can level the path for sustainability.' DYNAES's patented system, developed in collaboration with leading institutions such as Mines Paris PSL, TÜV, and CNRS, consists of two components integrated before and after the condenser in thermodynamic systems. This breakthrough technology optimises the refrigerant and lubricating oil mixture, significantly enhancing thermal performance without increasing compressor power consumption or requiring additional electronic controls. Professor Assaad Zoughaib, Head of Research Laboratory at Mines Paris PSL, stated: 'We consider the technology developed by Dyanes as a major scientific breakthrough in the field of thermodynamics.' The benefits of this system are both immediate and substantial, offering enhanced reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM), along with significant energy savings, particularly under demanding conditions. It contributes to improved EBITDA with minimal capital expenditure and is widely applicable across various sectors, including climate control, data centres, commercial and industrial refrigeration, and refrigerated transportation. Dynaes's solution delivers a positive environmental impact by reducing CO₂ emissions. If deployed across the estimated 2.2 billion thermodynamic systems worldwide, this technology could achieve annual savings of up to 7% of global emissions-equivalent to the combined emissions of the internet and air traffic sectors. The implementation at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport is supported by Airchal, a global leader in air handling solutions with over 60 years of expertise, and Takyeef Factory. With manufacturing sites in France and Abu Dhabi, this partnership ensures robust support for the introduction and development of Dynaes technology in the Middle East market.
