Main Building 202The call for authors interested in submitting papers for Rankine 2020 – Advances in Cooling, Heating and Power Generation is open until mid-September. With an expected 120 papers upwards, the conference will feature a series of invited Key Note Speakers presenting and unique overviews of the issues, paving the way for future research in the area. 

The IOR is bringing together the disciplines of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and Refrigeration, Air-Conditioning and Heat Pumps (RACHP) to encourage the flow of ideas between both fields, for a one-off international conference taking place from 26 to 29 July 2020 at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. “Rankine 2020 – Advances in Cooling, Heating and Power Generation” will not only cover William Rankine’s legacy in science and engineering but also look to the future by offering a forum where experts in refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps and power generation can come together to address their common challenges.
