News 13 Carrier launches training facility
CARRIER COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION has opened its
CO2OLacademy field training facility in Germany, its first in a live-store environment.
The CO2OLacademy facility aims to increase the technical knowledge and practical competencies of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration field technicians in Europe. Carrier, a world leader in high-technology heating, ventilating and air-conditioning solutions, is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
CO2OLacademy officially opened on 25 March at Carrier’s Research Development
Center in Mainz. The CO2OLacademy facility will serve as the central training site for Carrier Commercial Refrigeration’s service and installation technicians from across Europe, who will participate in practical training and exercises to improve skills and root cause analysis efficiencies, while sharing best practices.
Assigned technicians will be trained on
specific carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigerant technologies, while supplemental local training initiatives will also continue. Bart Driessens, director, service operations, Carrier Commercial
Refrigeration Europe, said: “Participating in internal training activities under best-in-class conditions enables our field technicians to gain and apply the latest knowledge on how to install and service
CO2OLtec turnkey projects with the highest level of quality and reliability.” The new facility features a training room as well as an operational cold
room and freezer room. A CO2OLtec refrigeration system is installed and connected with remote cabinets to create
a fully operational CO2 supermarket where real-time situations, such as scheduled service and other necessary repairs, can be simulated.
