The Industrial Refrigeration Consortium (IRC) is a research and technology center formed through a collaborative effort between the University of Wisconsin–Madison and industry. This non-profit technology center headquartered in the College of Engineering at the UW–Madison has a simple mission: to improve the safety, reliability, efficiency, and productivity of industrial refrigeration systems.
The IRC pursues its mission by conducting applied research, delivering knowledge transfer, and providing technical assistance. Although their efforts are focused on industrial refrigeration systems that utilize anhydrous ammonia, they also work with systems that use other refrigerants.
Famous quotes containing the word industrial:
“Revolution? Unscrew the flag-staff, wrap the bunting in the oil covers, and put the thing in the clothes-chest. Let the old lady bring you your house-slippers and untie your fiery red necktie. You always make revolutions with your mugs, your republic—nothing but an industrial accident.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
