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.
