Invitation to submit an abstract to the 10th CO2 and Ammonia Refrigeration Technologies IIR International Conference
The next edition of the CO2 and Ammonia Refrigeration Technologies will take place on April 27-29, 2023 in Ohrid, R. Macedonia. It will be organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering – Skopje together the with the International Institute of Refrigeration (Paris).
This also will be an opportunity to know out new information in development of the ammonia and CO2 refrigerating systems, to meet many experts and to exchange useful experiences.
