National Conference on Natural Refrigerants in Ireland

National Conference on Natural Refrigerants being held this Thursday 11th April 2019, this event is a must for anyone in the industry.
The IRI is the representative organization for the refrigeration industry in Ireland.

Overview

With the increasing environmental pressure on ‘chemical’ refrigerants, there is increasing interest in the use of ‘natural’ refrigerants for industrial and commercial refrigeration and air-conditioning. These refrigerants offer significant benefits in sustainability, operating cost, reliability and life expectancy.
The three natural refrigerants in use at present are Carbon-dioxide (CO2), Ammonia and Hydrocarbons.
All three natural refrigerants have inherent aspects that require care in their use, including flammability, toxicity and pressure. Any refrigeration system will need to include the careful consideration of these hazards in the design and operation of the system throughout its life.
The aim of the Conference is to raise awareness of the benefits and hazards of natural refrigerants and to inform attendees on how best to ensure that such refrigeration systems are designed, installed, operated and maintained safely.

Programme

The programme includes presentations from specialists and experts in fields relating to application, design, installation, maintenance, inspection, and training. The conference offers attendees the opportunity to hear from and engage with experts in the use and application of natural refrigerants.
