ATMOsphere MAC Summit 2026 X TU Berlin
Brussels
Natural refrigerants for mobile air conditioning, heat pumps, and transport refrigeration
The third edition of ATMOsphere MAC Summit, held in partnership with Technische Universität Berlin’s Chair of Heat Transfer and Heat Conversion, is a one-day event built on the strong technical foundation of previous editions, maintaining its multi-segment focus.
The programme will feature presentations on the state of the art in cooling and heat pumping with natural refrigerants for mobile applications and transport refrigeration, as well as optimal thermal management for EVs using natural refrigerants.
Special rates on rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brussels City, subject to availability: book here
Implementation and scaling up of CO2 and propane in mobile applications including AC and heat pump in automotive, buses, trucks, and trains
