The Institute of Refrigeration Ireland and Engineers Ireland are presenting a comprehensive one-day conference on Safe Use of Natural Refrigerants.
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 , 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.
The programme will include presentations from specialists and experts on the following topics:
Who should attend:
The conference would be of interest to those who already engage with natural refrigerants or who would like to consider the use of natural refrigerants in any commercial, industrial or air-conditioning application.
