This new proceedings discusses developments in air, gas and refrigeration compressors, vacuum pumps, and expanders. It is the 13th edition of the International Conference on Compressors and their Systems, a three-day conference organised by the Centre for Compressors Technology at City, University of London in collaboration with, among other, the MEchE, IIR, and IOR.

The conference offers a platform to identify current challenges in the field and provide the essential content and direction to shape future research. The International Conference on Compressors and their Systems series began in 1999 as a result of industrial consultation and a need for academic collaboration. Initially, the conference was organised by the Fluid Machinery Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) with the support of Holroyd. From 2009, the Centre for Compressor Technology at City, University of London took over its management and the conference is now one of the main conventions, taking place biennially in the UK, becoming world-renowned for its place in industry and academia to gather and discuss a broad range of topical issues related to compressors and compression systems.

This year's conference  has the theme 'Compressors and Expanders in Future Energy Systems' and will be of interest to researchers and engineers in industry.

Dr. Matthew Read is a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at City University of London and a member of the Center for Compressor Technology. He received the degree of MEng in Aerospace and Aerothermal Engineering from the University of Cambridge, following which he obtained a PhD from Imperial College London. His research interests are in the fields of low temperature power generation, waste heat recovery and compressor and expander technologies. He also has a long-standing interest in powertrain hybridisation, transmissions and energy storage systems, which was the subject of his Doctoral Thesis.

Dr Sham Rane is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Compressor Technology at City, University of London. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pune, India. and worked as a manufacturing engineer at Forbes Marshall India Pvt. Ltd. He continued his education at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in the Mechanical Engineering department with specialization in Design of Mechanical Equipment. In 2008, Dr Rane joined ANSYS FLUENT India Ltd. In 2014, Dr Rane was appointed as a Research Fellow at the centre to carry further developments in CFD analysis in positive displacement machines. In 2018, Dr Rane joined as a Research Fellow at the Department of Engineering Science at University of Oxford in Computational Aero-Thermal Engineering for Two-Phase Geothermal Turbines. Currently, at City, University of London, Dr Rane has been involved in development of grid generation technology and works actively in software development which is available as SCORG tool via PDM Analysis Ltd. His research interests are on analysis of multiphase flows in twin screw compressors, extension of the CFD modelling to oil injected and ORC application rotary vane compressors and expanders.

Ms Ivona Ivkovic-Kihic is a research project coordinator at City, University of London and Coordinator of the 13th International Conference on Compressors and their Systems. She holds her bachelor's degree and master's degree in Computer Science from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering University of Sarajevo, and a second bachelor's degree in Business from the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Sarajevo. Ms Ivkovic-Kihic is an external PhD student at The Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation at Graz University of Technology. Her main research interests are visual analysis, data visualization and analysis and applied computer graphics. Her experience ranges from software, web and virtual reality development, to teaching, management and marketing.

Professor Kovacevic holds his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Sarajevo (1986) and postgraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering from University of Tuzla, Bosnia & Herzegovina (MSc 1997) and The City University, London, UK (PhD 2002). Following his appointments as Researcher at University of Sarajevo (1986), Assistant Lecturer (1989) and Lecturer (1992) at the University of Tuzla, he joined City University London (1998) as a Research Fellow in the Centre for Positive Displacement Compressor Technology. Later, he was appointed as Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Design at The City University (2004) and was promoted to Howden Chair in Engineering Design and Compressor Technology in 2008. In 2020, Prof. Kovacevic has received the prestigious position of Howden/Royal Academy Chair in Compressor Technology from RAEng.
