Les points saillants : 10e Conférence de l'IIF sur les compresseurs et les frigorigènes (en anglais)

First held in 1995, delegates were able to participate in the 10^th IIR Conference on Compressors from the comfort of their dwellings as the event took place online on January 13, 2021.

 

The 10^th edition in the conference series welcomed as many as 220 delegates who together explored the latest developments in the field of compressor technology, with a particular focus on the future challenges of science and production in line with climate change.

 

Key highlights included:

• Three Aurel Stodola commemorative medals were presented.
• A new Conference President (Armin Hafner – Prof. at NTNU Trondheim) was elected.
• Several invited papers on hydrogen were presented.
• Prof. Peter Tomlein was praised for all of his hard work over the past quarter of a century as founder and recurrent organiser of this conference series.
• Six best papers recommended for the International Journal of Refrigeration (IJR).

 

The six best papers:

• Numerical Analysis of the Transient Compressible Fluid Flow in the Piston-Cylinder Clearance of an Oil-Free Linear Compressor - Cesar J. Deschamps et al.
• Modelling the Dynamics of Ring Plate Valves in Reciprocating Compressors Using Coupled CFD-FEM Simulations - Admund Ervik et al.
• Liquid Slugging in Reciprocating Compressor - Ján Bossányi et al.
• Evaluating of Refrigerants Using a Dynamic Reciprocating Compressor Model - Stephan Göbel et al.
• Characterization Methodology for Vapor Injection Scroll Compressors of Variable Speed - José Corberán Salvador et al.
• Compressor Muffler Design Considering Fluid-Structure Interaction - Paolo Martins et al.

 

Conference papers will be available in the IIR FRIDOC database shortly.
