Training C
limalife is organising a webinar for refrigeration installers and technicians
on A2L refrigerants, in partnership with Honeywell and Tecumseh, on 7 May.
The webinar is aimed at refrigeration specialists who will be invited to enhance their knowledge on the use of A2L refrigerants in condensing units from 1 to 40kW for applications in supermarkets, convenience stores, cold rooms and cold stores, for example. This A2L Refrigerant Training offers a unique opportunity for attendees to understand how this technology is the solution for the coming years in new installations. It will focus on three refrigerants, in particular; Solstice yf, Solstice ze and Solstice L40X and their ability to support refrigeration processes, both improving the energy efficiency of systems and with a GWP < 150, meeting the requirements of F-Gas regulation. Industry experts will present
components and equipment that are approved for these A2L refrigerants and will discuss their simple application in more detail, covering questions on flammability, load calculation, and glide, for example, through case studies carried out in the field. Accessible from a computer, smartphone, tablet or via podcast (audio), this webinar is a great opportunity to learn about all aspects of A2L refrigerants. Installers will have the opportunity to ask questions in advance, when registering for the webinar.
P
anasonic has introduced a series of interactive, online accredited CIBSE CPD courses to enhance skills during these unprecedented times. The CPD courses have been developed by Panasonic and support learning in a variety of heating and cooling disciplines.
Panasonic’s CPD programme has been running throughout the year either at the company’s Bracknell HQ or in various locations around the UK and have been presented by the experienced and knowledgeable team at Panasonic. However, during these extraordinary times, these courses are now available in a digital format, using the video conferencing facilities via Microsoft Teams.
Mick Langford - specified sales manager at Panasonic commented: “We recognise that times are challenging, with numerous people working from home, and looking to find ways of keeping busy. With many of our tools available through the Panasonic ProClub, we have also looked at our technical support and educational resources. We are pleased to be able to provide access to our training sessions by running the programme online, and judging by the initial comments, the sessions are proving useful.”
A recent delegate, Tyrone Lawson, Mechanical Associate of BSGUK who participated in the Gas-Fired Heat Pumps CPD commented, “I found the session to be very useful. The details provided were very clear along with the options available. The technical back up information to my queries was excellent and delivered very promptly.”
There is currently a choice of four accredited CIBSE CPDs that are running during April and May and are so far proving very popular. The sessions typically last approximately one hour and are free to participate. Delegates need to register in advance and are given the chance throughout the session to interact and ask questions.
Overview of accredited CIBSE CPDs available: Principles of Air Conditioning – Overview of Splits/VRF TechnologyThis is an introduction to the principles of air conditioning. The session details the
fundamentals of air conditioning and goes on to describe the refrigeration cycle, heating and cooling load calculations, system components and unit selections.
An Introduction to Air to Water Technology – This CPD looks at using heat pumps to heat water
and compares these systems to traditional gas boilers and further provides advice into system design and components. The session also goes through calculating heat losses in houses and sizing heat emitters.
Overview of F-Gas and R32 Technology– This presentation explores the history of refrigerants and provides an overview of the F-Gas Regulations and phase- down dates. It also explains the benefits of R32 along with factors to consider when using this refrigerant.
Overview of Gas Heat Pumps (GHP) Technology – The history and development of using gas as the power source for a VRF system. The CPD explains why this type of solution may be considered as an alternative to electric. The session compares the two options and details the design of the system.
