About the Refrigerant Review Conference and Exhibition
Refrigerants Review seeks to achieve one critical objective - to identify the ideal refrigerant, among those currently available in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), for high-, medium- and low-temperature applications.
The Refrigerants Review Conference, which is organized by Climate Control Middle East, will take place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is a key hub for the construction of sustainable societies, where refrigeration and air conditioning are critical and essential.
