ON THE ROAD


Up to speed with FSW


National acr wholesaler FSW completed the third and final leg of its UK refrigerant roadshow on 21 June, welcoming industry to an informative session designed to address the latest topics affecting the sector.


C


ontractors and installers from across the acr industry gathered at The Concorde Club in Southampton for the evening event, following FSW’s previous stops in Newcastle on 18 June and Birmingham on 20 June.


After a buffet and refreshments, presentations commenced with Climalife’s Peter Dinnage providing an overview of recent developments in alternative, low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants – a solution to which industry must turn as the F-Gas phase-down sends the price of HFC refrigerants surging.


Mr Dinnage advised roadshow attendees that adopting mildly flammable refrigerant options will become increasingly necessary with new


systems from 2021 to 2030, explaining that the popular R410A does not have a low flammability alternative.


He said: “Very rapidly, we’ll move from R410A to R32 and HFO blends. Conserve R410A for systems where there is no alternative.” Remy Prunac of Profroid introduced the new range of QuietCool CO2


packaged condensing


units now available from FSW, pointing out the benefits of using low GWP, high efficiency CO2


.


Rounding off the evening, FSW product and marketing manager Robin Green presented his R32 Tools Talk, discussing the latest R32 tools available and providing practical information to ensure industry is ready for the move to R32.
