Save the Date: the 25th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration



The year 2019 is going to be a very special one for researchers, students, experts and all those involved in the field of refrigeration.

Not only will 2019 welcome the 25th International Congress of Refrigeration (ICR 2019), it will also be the first year that the World Refrigeration Day will be celebrated.


ICR 2019 – Reuniting refrigeration specialists from around the world


First held in 1908 and now a well-established international event, the 25th International Congress of Refrigeration will take place on August 24-30, 2019 in Montreal, Canada. It will provide, among others, the ideal platform to take stock of the historic Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which will enter into force in January 2019, bringing about a global phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).


Covering all fields of refrigeration, ICR 2019 is expected to surpass the success of previous congresses, and will be a unique opportunity for researchers and engineers from all over the world to meet, exchange and publish the results of their research.


With nearly 1,000 technical papers expected, the 25th event in the series is set to welcome its largest audience to date and has already confirmed support from Cemafroid, Hydro-Québec, Honeywell, Ambassadors Club of the Palais des congrès de Montréal, Elsevier, IEA Heat Pump Centre, Shecco and ACHR News.
