1st IIR International Conference on Refrigeration Adapting to Rising Temperatures to Be Held in August 2025

The ENOUGH project will be promoted at the 1st International Conference on Refrigeration Adapting to Rising Ambient Temperatures, set to take place from August 10th to 13th, 2025, at the University of Manchester, UK. This pioneering event will bring together international refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) professionals to address the growing challenges posed by rising global temperatures.

As the planet warms, industries and governments face increasing pressure to adapt their cooling technologies to meet the demands of a changing environment. The conference will focus on these critical issues, inviting experts from around the world to explore innovative solutions and sustainable practices. Discussions will span multiple sectors, including industrial refrigeration, air conditioning in public and commercial buildings, and cooling technologies for homes and cities.

Conference Highlights

With rising ambient temperatures pushing current RACHP technologies to their limits, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore how the industry can adapt to these new challenges. Attendees will gain insights from experts and thought leaders on the following key themes:

• Managing Risk: Examining how rising temperatures affect equipment design and performance, and what strategies can mitigate these impacts.
• Environmental and Social Governance: Discussing sustainable approaches to refrigeration, with a focus on reducing emissions and enhancing resilience.
• The Future of RACHP: Exploring cutting-edge research and forecasting the future landscape of refrigeration technology in response to global warming.

The event will feature a variety of formats, including presentations of scientific papers, workshops, and short courses. Additionally, a series of technical tours on August 12th will offer a hands-on look at cutting-edge cooling systems in operation. These tours are included in the registration fee.

Networking and Collaboration

This conference will also provide a valuable platform for networking and collaboration. With participants including academics, industry leaders, equipment manufacturers, system designers, policymakers, and students, attendees will have the chance to share knowledge, forge partnerships, and explore collaborative opportunities that push the boundaries of RACHP technology. You can submit an abstract since the the 1st november.

In particular, the ENOUGH project, dedicated to tackling food loss through sustainable refrigeration and cooling solutions, will be promoted by the IIR and its partners, showcasing innovative approaches in line with the conference’s objectives.
