Alternative Refrigerants Certification

Introduction

Eurovent Middle East, in collaboration with the Centro Studi Galileo training centre, offers a series of technical trainings for RAC Technicians, engineers and servicing personnel. The Alternative Refrigerants course is dedicated to HVACR Technicians who install, repair and maintain systems working with alternative and natural refrigerants and therefore teaches the technologies and properties of: carbon dioxide [R744], ammonia [R717], hydrocarbons [classified A3: R6ooa, R290, R1270], A2Ls [HFOs, R32…]. This course has a particular focus on safety aspects, design differences, reducing leak potential and improving system's resilience.
