The IOR is a proud supporter of the World Refrigeration Day campaign.  The initiative will raise the profile of the important contribution that refrigeration air conditioning and heat pumps make globally across so many aspects of modern life – from medical, to food supply and farming, process engineering to data and IT, refrigeration technologies are essential and yet go widely unrecognised.

This global event will bring together the worlds community to celebrate the success and achievements of the RACHP sector through a series of international events and a social media campaign.
