IIR WITH AiCARR AND UNIPD FOR THE  2021
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES IN VICENZA

IIR, in collaboration with AICARR and the University of Padua, organizes two international events which will be held in parallel in Vicenza, Italy, on September 1 to 3: the 6th IIR Conference on thermophysical properties and transfer processes of refrigerants (TPTPR) and the 13th IIR Phase Change Material (PCM) Conference.

The 6th IIR TPTPR Conference
The International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) has established a series of Commission B1 (Thermodynamics and Transfer Processes) Conferences, held every 4 years, to discuss thermophysical properties and transfer processes of refrigerants.
The first version of the European Regulation F-GAS fixed in January 1st 2011 the formal start of the phase out of refrigerants having GWP>150 in automotive air conditioning. This date can be considered a milestone for most of the intense research and technological activity carried out in the recent years for the development and use of low GWP refrigerants. After 10 years, the TPTPR2021 Conference will be a standout opportunity for analyzing the state of the art about the thermophysical properties and transfer processes of low GWP refrigerants: the aim will be to outline future perspectives in order to achieve the lowest possible impact of refrigeration on global environment.

The 13th IIR PCM Conference
Phase change materials and slurries are becoming key components in the energy structure of the future as envisioned by European Commission. Changing from a carbon-based energy society to one relying on renewable energy from the sun, wind, geothermal and biomass will necessitate to match the energy demand with the source availability. This result can be only achieved through energy storage. Thermal energy storage is one of the most efficient ways to store energy and phase change materials can make thermal energy storage compact and competitive. Furthermore, refrigeration and air conditioning can be considered as one of the most energy consuming technologies, which impacts on our daily life. The possibility to store energy in latent cold or hot thermal energy storage is also becoming more and more investigated and applied by both the scientific and industrial communities.

The two Conferences provide an international forum to all researchers and practitioners to exchange updated information, present new developments and discuss the future directions and priorities in these important technological challenges.
