The next Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Working Fluids, to be held on 7-10 September 2008 in Copenhagen, will focus on alternatives to replace CFC, HCFC, and HFC chemicals in heating and cooling applications. Under the theme “Refrigeration and Energy – The Natural Choice”, experts will provide latest updates on the properties of refrigerants, heat transfer and low emission systems, as well as vapour compression using natural fluids, such as CO2 (R744).

Organized every two years, it is the 8th international conference on the use of non-artificial refrigerants hosted by the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR). This edition is jointly organized by the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), the Technical University of Denmark, and national refrigeration associations. Denmark is one of the most active countries in adopting natural refrigerants. Since 2001, a severe tax has limited the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in Denmark. Since January 2007, a ban on HFC in new large refrigeration equipment has added an extra impulse to the transition to sustainable solutions, including R744.
The Gustav Lorentzen Conference 2008 will offer the following technical tours regarding R744:

- Commercial refrigeration in supermarkets with CO2
- Low temperature freezing systems with CO2
- Industrial heat pump system using CO2 as refrigerant
Call for Papers
Interested authors are encouraged to send their 150-200 word abstracts to the organizing committee by 15 February 2008 latest. The number of submissions is expected to be higher than in previous years, as the use of natural refrigerants like CO2, hydrocarbon, or water, has increased. In 2006 alone, more than 100 commercial and industrial plants were built using these alternatives.
