Refrigerants: heat transfer and applications
Organized by University of Padova – Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale
in collaboration with CNR-Istituto per le Tecnologie della Costruzione
Date: 26 June 2019
Location: Padova
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of University of Padova, it is our pleasure to invite You to participate in the Symposium on “Refrigerants: heat transfer and applications” , taking place in Padova on June 26th, 2019.
Goal
The objective of the symposium is to present advances in heat transfer and applications with refrigerants in the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration sectors. Attention will be focused on both natural and synthetic refrigerants, covering components and systems.
Low-GWP synthetic and natural refrigerants are a path to reduce the CO2 footprint of Refrigeration, Heating and Cooling sectors and migrate towards long-term sustainable solutions. All experts are invited to present and discuss their research on the use of next-generation refrigerants.
Topics
- Efficient heat and mass transfer processes in refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump components
- Evaporators, condensers and other heat exchangers design, analysis and performance
- Analysis and performance of vapour-compression cycles
- System optimization and control
- Refrigerant charge reduction
- Ejectors and expanders design and analysis
- Flammability issue: risk analysis, design considerations, operating experience, legislation
- Compliance with safety and environmental regulations and standardization
- All other topics related to the use of low-GWP synthetic and natural refrigerants
