Welcome to the Institute of Refrigeration Website

The IOR exists to promote the advancement of refrigeration in all its applications, in relation both to the perfection of its methods, and to the extension of its services to the community.  It does this by encouraging invention and research, providing a means for co-operation between educational institutes, and offering a forum for exchange of views of members. Our meetings, technical guidance notes, codes of practice and published proceedings allow professionals in the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump industries to apply practical knowledge for the public benefit. 

This website provides a central information point for news, technology and guidance for our members. Some items are also available for viewing or purchase by non-members.
