The Institute of Refrigeration will be hosting the International Institute of Refrigeration’s 12th Gustav Lorentzen Natural Working Fluid Conference in the UK in August 2016.
The Institute of Refrigeration will be hosting the International Institute of Refrigeration’s 12th Gustav Lorentzen Natural Working Fluid Conference in the UK in August 2016.
Since the conference was first launched in 1984 many of the questions raised by Gustav Lorentzen about the future of natural working fluids in refrigeration have been answered. However, new developments, environmental issues and legislation have raised new and different types of questions.
The 12th Gustav Lorentzen conference will address fundamental issues about what is the vision for the future of natural working fluids for 2016 and beyond, along with showcasing the latest developments in the application of natural working fluids. The programme will encourage delegates to think about how natural refrigerants are used and remind the industry that it needs to consider:
-
total cost of ownership of systems
-
the impact of indirect emissions
-
comparing the most efficient solutions
-
ensuring safe and reliable operation
-
component development and availability
-
how we use refrigeration systems
-
extending the geographic range of natural working fluid suitability.
The programme will offer opportunities to discuss the latest developments in the application of research into natural working fluid use and the technical tours will be a strong feature of the event with certain papers presented at the tour sites to explore underlying technical issues.
In addition, the conference will explore in depth how we can ensure a sustainable future for natural working fluids in the face of the increasingly challenging global, political, legislative and economic environment.
The conference will take place from the 21-24 August in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Details about the event and the call for abstracts will be announced at the conference website www.gl2016.com
