interest to quickly get up-to-speed with the key principles and latest thinking in this vital area. “Our CPDs have proved hugely popular during the pandemic, and this is now further assisted by the ability to undertake modules online via webinar,” says Neil Hitching, business development director for Toshiba Carrier UK (TCUK). “We have been expanding the range of courses offered and are pleased to make these new modules available to installers and consultants keen to get up-to-speed on these important topics.”
The principles of the absorption cycle are fully explained.
The Carrier courses are part of TCUK’s established programme of CPD modules, which focus on Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air conditioning systems and split and multi-split systems. A new CIAT CPD course is also currently being prepared covering the design and application of air handling units (AHUs).
The new Carrier CPD modules cover key technologies and applications.
“The aim is to create a complete programme of CPDs covering the spectrum of key HVAC
technologies,” said Hitching. “As an industry leader, we see it as an important part of our role to increase knowledge and raise technical standards. Based on feedback from participants, we know the courses are valued and meet a pressing need for up-to-date guidance on the latest technology and legislation.”

Superdeduction tax incentive offers key opportunity for compressed air investments
CompAir is encouraging British firms looking to invest in new industrial air equipment to take advantage of the government’s superdeduction tax incentive, announced in the 2021 Budget by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
rom 1 April 2021 until 31 March 2023, companies investing in industrial air equipment can claim a 130 per cent super-deduction capital allowance. This covers compressors, dryers and gas generators, vacuum pumps, and low-pressure equipment. The super-deduction allows businesses to cut their tax bill by up to 25p for every £1 invested. This creates a real opportunity for businesses looking to invest in new industrial air systems to make significant financial gains.

Companies will also be able to claim a 50 per cent first-year allowance on qualifying special rate assets, which would ordinarily only be eligible for six per cent.
Following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy, and the predicted fallout in the months to come, it is hoped the measures will encourage firms to invest in productivity- enhancing plant and machinery assets that will help them to grow in years to come. Andrew Power, Sales Director for Northern Europe at CompAir, said: “The super-deduction tax incentive is a fantastic opportunity for British businesses over the next two years. Not only will this tax break equate to a significant cash windfall for these organisations, but it will also help bolster cash flow for businesses at a really critical time.
“For instance, if a company spends £100,000 on qualifying industrial air equipment, the company can deduct £130,000 when it comes to calculating its taxable profits. As a result, the company will then save up to 19 per cent of that – equivalent to £24,700 – on its corporation tax bill*. “Some exclusions do apply, namely for equipment that landlords would install, and leased plant and equipment, which may be subject to some restrictions.
“We welcome this initiative from the government, believing it will play a key role in helping businesses to grow in the coming years.” To find out more about the super-deduction tax incentive, the UK government has issued guidance which can be read here:
