Gustav Lorentzen conference – call for papers

FRANCE: The International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) has issued a call for abstracts of papers to be presented at next year’s 14th IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants.

The 14th event in this prestigious conference series, the next IIR-Gustav Lorentzen Conference is set to take place from December 6 to December 9, 2020, at the International Conference centre of Kyoto, Japan. It will be organised by the Japan Society of Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (JSRAE).

The Gustav Lorentzen Conference series on natural working fluids is recognised as a cutting-edge event on natural refrigerants, addressing the needs of key stakeholders interested in monitoring trends and system developments in this field.

Held biennially since its inauguration in 1994, this conference attracts an average of 300 participants and has become a leading conference focusing on natural working fluids as a vector to reducing the CO2 footprint of refrigeration, and the heating and cooling sectors.
