The IOR will be hosting a free social event for members at the Royal Air Force Museum on 4 December 2019 in Hendon London to celebrate the date of the IOR's formation in 1899.  Each year we include a talk looking back over the development of an aspect of our industry over this time. This year's event will look at the screw compressors from the first prototype in the 1970s to the design challenges of today. Bookings for the event are now open and available on the IOR web site.

 

Join us, and our friends at the London Refrigeration Society, for this informative talk.
