The Industrial Refrigeration Consortium is a collaborative effort between the University of Wisconsin Madison and industry. Our goal is to improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of industrial refrigeration systems and technologies. We realize this goal by conducting applied research, delivering knowledge transfer, and providing technical assistance. Although our efforts are focused on industrial refrigeration systems that utilize anhydrous ammonia, we also work with systems that use other refrigerants.
The IRC offers a unique combination of complementary resources that include academic qualifications, technical expertise, and practical experience. We provide objective information that is not biased by an affiliation with any particular organization.
IRC Announces Dates for the next `Engineering Safety Relief Systems` webcourse
Held daily from 9-11 am (Central) during the week of December 14-18, 2009, this course is your opportunity to develop a sound understanding of the principles and practices of engineering safety relief systems for refrigeration applications. We will review code requirements and discuss methods for relief device sizing, inlet piping considerations, and discharge vent pipe sizing. Participants successfully completing the course will obtain access to the IRC`s Safety Relief Systems Analysis Tool.
