CEEE Hosts International Conference THERMAG - IX

More than 200 people from around the world attended the THERMAG - IX June 7-11, 2021 hosted by The Center for Environmental Energy Engineering at University of Maryland, College Park. The conference was initially scheduled for June 2020 but adapted to a virtual platform due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The conference was put on by the IIR (International Instititute of Refrigeration) and was sponsored by ASHRAE and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The THERMAG- IX serves as a forum to present and discuss information on the latest progress in research and development of caloric cooling material and device technology. The following topics will be presented: Magnetocaloric materials; Elastocaloric materials; Barocaloric materials; Electrocaloric materials; Caloric devices; for cooling/ heat pumping; Caloric applications at refrigeration; Thermocaloric energy conversion; Resource basis & recycling of caloric materials; Standardization & terminology of caloric material.
