Aims & Scope
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier.
It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields.
This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology.
The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy.
Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
