IoR seeks J&E Hall Gold recipient

UK: The Institute of Refrigeration is calling for nominations for this year’s J&E Hall Gold Medal, which recognises the most noteworthy contribution to the advancement of refrigeration and related technologies.

This internationally respected award is again sponsored by J&E Hall International with a prize award of £5,000. It is open to individuals or teams responsible for recent practical technology advancement in one or more of the following areas:

• Practical applications of innovative designs
• RACHP installations, developments, technologies that have made an original contribution to the field
• Systems that demonstrate substantial potential and evidence that they will be completed successfully
• Outstanding and significant work in a new or unusual area of design and installation

The award is designed to encourage progress rather than acknowledge past achievement and the winner will join a select list of recipients that includes refrigeration greats such as Prof Gustav Lorentzen, Prof Prga Hrnjak, Dr Mark McLinden, and Prof Eckhard Groll.

Information about the award and a nomination form is available at https://ior.org.uk/IOR-awards or email [email protected]. Nominations are requested by 15 October 2022. 

The winner will be announced during the IoR Annual Dinner which will take place on 23 February 2023 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London St Pauls in London.
