World Refrigeration Day, celebrated yearly on June 26th, highlights the importance of refrigeration in modern life. Founded by Stephen Gill and the World Refrigeration Secretariat, it honors the birthday of Lord Kelvin, who contributed to temperature measurement.
World Refrigeration Day helps raise the profile of the refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump sector. It draws attention to wonderful engineering and science that is all around us every day. Refrigeration is at the very heart of modern life. It enables people to live, travel and work comfortably. From preventing food spoilage and reducing waste to enabling global food distribution, refrigeration technology has become an invisible backbone of today’s world.
