You are now invited to submit abstracts for the 13th International Conference on Compressors and their Systems taking place from 11 to 13 September 2023.
The conference, which is co-sponsored by the IOR, is organised by City, University of London and will take place on 11th - 13th September 2023. It will provide a forum for developments in air, gas and refrigeration compressors, vacuum pumps, and expanders. The programme will be more cohesive this year by the inclusion of industry sessions on high-importance topics in addition to the traditional keynote addresses, research and technical papers, podium papers and discussions. This will provide a platform to identify current challenges and provide the essential content and direction to shape future research.
Organisers invite papers related to all types of compressors, expanders and their systems including but not limited to: reciprocating, diaphragm, turbo, axial, scroll, screw, vane, rotary and all other types of compressors and expanders.
Find out more about submitting an abstract on the conference's website.
