Why zero leakage - alternative refrigerant systems?

Cost of leakageOther factors

•Safety and reliability

•Due to charge restrictions for alternative refrigerants lower charges are needed

•Systems are then vulnerable

•Impact on long term energy

20kg R600a £ 300

Repair cost £ 500

Stock loss £ 1,000

Carbon cost due

to leakage £ small

Total £ 1,800

REAL alternatives is EU project addressing skills

shortages amongst RACHP technicians

The focus will be on CO2, ammonia, HC and HFO

refrigerants.

It will cover safety, efficiency, reliability and containment in service and maintenance –

leakage focus.

First step – ask industry what it needs

• How well prepared are your technicians ?

• What are the most important technical issues for you (safety, reliability, cost, containment, skills, design, components, standards, customer knowledge)?

• What proportion of your workforce have already undergone sufficient training?

• What type of knowledge / training works best for you ?

• Would an IOR CPD Certificate be useful?

• What existing material would you recommend / share ?


Co-financed by

How you can get involved

• register for updates at the website being launched tomorrow!

• become a stakeholder – be invited to comment on drafts, contribute material and links

• share or suggest existing training or technical information

• help pilot training material amongst your technicians

• sign up technicians for the free e-learning courses when launched

• spread the word…
