IIR conference

16th IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants

Call for abstracts!

 

With the increasing need for global warming countermeasures, natural working fluids have become a clear vector to reducing the CO2 footprint of the refrigeration, and heating and cooling sectors and migrating towards long-term sustainable solutions.

 

Scheduled to take place at the University of Maryland (USA) on August 11-14, 2024, the 16th IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants (GL 2024) will provide the ideal platform for discussion on the latest research results and advances related to the use of natural working fluids in different types of systems and application areas.

 

Themes

 

  • Thermophysical properties: Naturalworking fluids, lubricants, and mixtures
  • Transport phenomenon: Boiling, condensation, gas-cooling, thermo-hydraulic characterization
  • Components: Heat exchangers, compressors, ejectors, novel designs
