5th International Congress andExhibition on Aluminium Heat
Exchanger Technologies for
HVAC&R 2017
With regard to climate change it is becoming increasingly important to reduce emissions through energy efficiency. Stringent environmental requirements are the greatest challenges
facing the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigerationindustry.
Organised for the third time by DVS – German Welding Society –the 5th International Congress on “Aluminium Heat Exchanger
Technologies for HVAC&R” on 16/17 May, 2017 in Düsseldorf,
is dedicated to these aspects.
The event addresses the producers and the users in the field of
air conditioning and refrigeration. Leading specialists and authorities from the sector, well known experts from industry andresearch and other important decision makers from this field
