HFO2018
1st IIR International Conference on the Application of HFO Refrigerants 2018
Important Dates
About HFO2018
The conference papers will provide up-to-date, information on the experience and use of the new family of A2L classification refrigerants known as HFOs. Papers will be invited on themes including, design issues for systems, components and controls, safety issues, legislation, codes of practice and standards, responsible use and environmental considerations The conference will focus on HFO refrigerants however papers may include comparisons of HFO refrigerants with other low and moderate GWP fluids for example ammonia, CO2, hydrocarbons and R32. The conference will be supported by IIR commissions and will incorporate Commission B1, B2, C2, D1, D2, E1 and E2.
Topics
Control systems, Compressors, System and component design, Characteristics of hfo refrigerants, Lubricants, Thermophysical properties, Fluid flow characteristics, Performance modelling, Heat exchangers, Energy performance, Flammability, Risk analysis, Operating experience, LegislationCall for Papers
The Programme Committee is inviting proposals for papers for the conference. The papers should report on original research or on technical developments and their applications, they should contain quality scientific or technical information and must not have been published previously elsewhere. All abstracts are subject to review and suitable abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper.
Papers are sought that provide information on the experience and use of the new family of A2L refrigerants known as HFOs. The conference will accept papers that include comparisons with other low and moderate GWP fluids such as R32, ammonia, CO2 and hydrocarbons. These papers will be expected to compare and contrast experiences of those refrigerants versus HFOs.
The event will attract an international audience including end users, component manufacturers, product development specialist, researchers and development experts.
The conference will take place at IET Austin Court Birmingham a historical canal side venue in a convenient city centre location. It is within easy reach of Birmingham International Airport, has access to UK motorway network and large nearby car parks and is a short walk from Birmingham’s main train station New Street
The programme will include over peer-reviewed 75 technical papers, with leading keynote speakers discussing the development of HFOs and future trends, low flammability issues and the opportunities and challenges offered by HFO refrigerants. Key topics will include the characteristics of low GWP refrigerants, design issues for systems, components and controls, safety issues, legislation, codes of practice and standards, responsible use and environmental considerations. The conference will include technical tours, workshops, short courses and a social programme.
