Danfoss joined the global cooling community in commemorating the third global World Refrigeration Day (WRD), celebrating the technologies, and importantly the people, behind this industry.

“Worldwide, cooling has become an essential part of modern society,” explains sales director for Climate Solutions, Turkey, Middle East and Africa (TMA), Aleksandar Jovanovic. “We’ve seen rapid development within the sector, with the need for cooling intensifying based on four major factors: population growth, rising incomes, global warming and urbanisation. Refrigeration is at the very heart of life today. It enables people to live, travel and work comfortably. It even saves lives.

“World Refrigeration Day was established to raise awareness and focus attention on the significant role the cooling industry plays in people’s lives today from food processing and production to the pharmaceutical sector, where it is used for the effective transport of products like medicines and vaccines, as well as helping to maintain comfortable working and living conditions.”

The international awareness day observes the birthday of William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, one of the nineteenth century’s most distinguished scientists, renowned for inventing the international system of absolute temperature that bears his name. 2021 marks the third official iteration of WRD, with growing support from industry, scientific and engineering associations, governments and individuals globally.

The 2021 WRD campaign, with the theme ‘Cooling Champions: Cool Careers for a Better World’, draws particular attention to careers within the refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump industry. Currently, more than 15 million people are involved in designing, building, servicing and regulating over five billion operational cooling systems worldwide.

“As a business with a footprint in more than 100 countries, research and development and testing facilities on three continents, as well as manufacturing facilities in Europe, China, India, North America and Mexico, this is a theme that holds great significance for Danfoss Cooling,” adds Jovanovic. “We are proud to celebrate our people across the globe who help to provide energy efficient, sustainable cooling solutions on WRD 2021.”
