The IOR is a proud supporter of the World Refrigeration Day campaign.  The annual global initiative raises the profile of the important contribution that refrigeration air conditioning and heat pumps make globally across so many aspects of modern life – from medical, to food supply and farming, process engineering to data and IT, refrigeration technologies are essential and yet go widely unrecognised.

World Refrigeration Day will bring together a world community to celebrate the success and achievements of the RACHP sector through a series of international events and a social media campaign.
