Launch of Rankine 2020 Conference

Coinciding with the bicentenary of the birth of scientist William Rankine, Rankine 2020 - Advances in Cooling, Heating and Power Generation will be the first event of its kind, exploring the synergy between the disciplines of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and Refrigeration Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps (RACHP) with a view of generating new ideas between the two fields. Taking place at the University of Glasgow from 26 to 29 July 2020, the event is expected to attract 120 papers providing delegates with insights into new opportunities to deliver efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions.

The event will have plenary sessions and side events, celebrating the historical connections with Rankine and will include three different streams, namely: power generation, working fluids and heating and cooling. Target audience for the conference will include end users, component manufactures, senior representatives of engineering, marketing and product development, Innovation leaders, professors, researchers, teachers, students, system and equipment designers, equipment and system buyers, professional engineers, production and operation managers, and policy makers.

Details on the call for abstracts will be issued in March along with delegates packages. Further information on sponsorship will be released shortly and members of the organising team will be happy to answer any specific questions by email at rankine2020@ior.org.uk
