Low GWP Alternative Refrigerants for Cooling - Skills Needs and Solutions
Tue. January 15| 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM | B315
This workshop will give you the opportunity to learn about the skills challenges of using low GWP refrigerants more widely. It will explore the safety, reliability, environmental and containment issues related to new low flammables (HFO) as well as natural working fluids such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon and ammonia. Based on extensive European experience of training this workshop will introduce free e-learning, booklets, measurement tools and practical training and certification programmes that are being developed as a global resource from the EU ''REAL Alternatives 4 LIFE'' project. The project addresses knowledge, awareness, and skills barriers to the rapid and widespread adoption of low GWP alternative refrigerants by providing reliable, unbiased, consistent and up to date training materials linked to an extensive train the trainer programme.
