Jurgen Suss this years winner has been awarded the medal for his achievements in carbon dioxide compressor innovation. He has been instrumental in driving forward innovative work in the application of carbon dioxide technology to light commercial refrigeration. His work led to the development of a compressor with a matching control device which has become the industry standard for co2 equipment - the TN Compressor. This technology has achieved significant practical application in bottle coolers, vending machines, display cases and high efficiency domestic hot water heat pumps. sponsored by last years award winner recieves his medal from the President view details of the nomination procedure and past winners Student Research (Ted Perry Award) To encourage and promote research by students related to refrigeration and air condition an award of £500 is made sponsored by SKM Enviros and a prize of a set of ASHRAE Databooks is donated to the winner in honor of the Past President Ted Perry by his family.

David Wright of MacWhirter Ltd won the award this year (2010).In total Dave can boast over 50 years in this industry. Over this time he has made a recognisable contribution not just to his employer but to the technical development of less experienced colleagues, yet he remains in a very much in a hands-on role as Service and Project Manager in Cardiff. As well as continuing to provide a productive contribution to the company, his continual professional training to all grades of engineers via his periodical “MacTechnical” Newsletters is an invaluable tool for all. sponsored by last years award winner recieves his certificate from the President
