Refrigeration 2017 Conference

AIRAH’s Refrigeration 2017 Conference will be held in Melbourne on March 27–28, 2017.

The conference will look at the current state of the industry, how it may respond to the future challenges initiated by COP 21 and the global HFC phase-down, and how this will impact upon educators, legislators, regulators, end users, engineers, consultants and technicians. The conference will also include sessions reviewing the latest technologies on offer. The conference trade display will give participants the opportunity during the breaks and cocktail functions to interact with leading industry suppliers on the latest refrigeration technology offerings.  

The conference committee is now calling for abstracts on an array of subjects, including but not limited to: 

• New technologies, research and trends – natural refrigerants, synthetic refrigerants, geothermal and non-vapour compression cycle
• Case studies – of particular interest are projects featuring replacement of HFCs and HCFCs with natural refrigerants or with low-GWP synthetic gases
• Legislation/standards – developments in Australia and internationally
• Safety and compliance 
• International market developments, particularly in the US and Europe 
• Energy efficiency and the refrigeration industry.
