7th International Conference on Magnetic Refrigeration at Room Temperature Torino, Italy, September 11-14, 2016 first announcement It is our pleasure to announce that the 7th International Conference on Magnetic Refrigeration at Room Temperature, Thermag VII, will be held in Torino, Italy, from 11 to 14 September 2016. The conference is organized by the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica and by the International Institute of Refrigeration IIF/IIR. In recent years, magnetic refrigeration around room temperature, is receiving renewed interest thanks to the development of new materials with enhanced magnetocaloric effect and of novel thermal engineering techniques. Its potential high efficiency and environmental compatibility make this technique competitive with conventional gas compression technologies. The International Conference on Magnetic Refrigeration at Room Temperature, born in 2005, represents the state of the art in the field of new magnetocaloric materials and novel cooling techniques. International Advisory Board Karl Sandeman (chair) Ekkes Bruck Asaya Fujita Oliver Gutfleisch Vitalij Pecharsky Jader Barbosa Andrej Kitanovski Afef Lebouc Nini Pryds Andrew Rowe Conference Topics Conference topics will be devoted to both materials and cooling systems. - Materials: alloys and compounds with magnetocaloric effect, physics of the magnetocaloric effect, shaping and preparation of active materials - Cooling systems: design and numerical aspects, experimental tests of machines - Novel aspects and future perspectives: ferrocaloric materials, thermal switches, etc Venue Conference centre Torino Incontra located in the city center http://www.torinoincontra.org. Publications Conference proceedings will be published as a book of IIF/IIR and will be available at the conference in digital form. Conference papers will be peer reviewed. A selection of the presented papers will be invited to form a special issue of the International Journal of Refrigeration (Elsevier). Important dates - December 2015: opening of the abstract submission - February 2016: deadline for abstract submission - May 2016: deadline for paper submission - September 2016: the conference Conference chair Vittorio Basso Program committee Asaya Fujita, Nini Pryds, Alessandro Pastore, Franca Albertini, Luca Antonio Tagliafico Local Organizing Committee Michaela Kuepferling, Elena Olivetti, Luca Martino, Marco Piazzi, Carmen Curcio, Cinzia Beatrice Local Organizing Secretariat Elisabetta Melli, Silvia Cavallero (INRIM) Publicity and website Justine Evans (IIF/IIR) For info email: [email protected] website: http://www.thermag2016.com
