The technical and economic challenges facing industrial refrigeration technology require continuous innovation and adaptation, according to Bernhard Blaeser, head of Industrial Refrigeration at BITZER.
Announcing details of the Industrial Refrigeration Network Conference (IRN) Blaeser said the event is an opportunity for experts in industrial refrigeration to come together to exchange ideas.
“It is an opportunity to discuss trends and challenges and thus actively drive the industry forward,” he said.
“Only in this way can the industry meet the demands of regulation, efficiency and sustainability.”
To be held in June, Blaeser said the event will take place at BITZER’s international training centre, the SCHAUFLER Academy.
Under the motto ‘Driving natural innovation’, the focus will be on solutions based on natural refrigerants for industrial refrigeration technology.
Manufacturers, installers and contractors, planners, end users, and scientific representatives as well as industry associations such as Eurammon and IIAR will be participating in the event.
The IRN conference was launched in 2024 by a group of European HVACR component and system suppliers.
The conference consists of different formats, including:
- Keynote speeches on the status quo and outlook for the future of industrial refrigeration technology by representatives of the IIAR
- Technical presentations by various players in the industrial refrigeration and heat pump sector
- Exhibition stands of the conference sponsors displaying future-oriented solutions
- Networking opportunities for participants
Registration for the IRN conference is open until 30 April 2026.
