HVAC-R Refrigerants

This CPD session offers a comprehensive overview of refrigerants used in HVAC-R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) systems, with a focus on current regulations, industry standards, and emerging trends. Participants will gain insight into the environmental impact of refrigerants, particularly their ozone depletion and global warming potential (ODP and GWP), and how these factors have shaped international and national regulatory frameworks such as the Montreal Protocol, F-Gas regulations, and phasedown schedules.

The aim of this CPD is to deliver this “understanding” covering the topics below listed in the “learning” section. 

Intro to CRAC

This CPD session provides a foundational overview of Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRAC), focusing on their critical role in maintaining optimal environmental conditions within data centres and IT facilities. Participants will explore the principles of precision cooling, the differences between CRAC and traditional HVAC systems, and the various types of CRAC units

The aim of this CPD is to deliver this “understanding” covering the topics below listed in the “learning” section. 

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology

This CPD introduces the audience to Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is a promising clean energy solution that converts the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical process. 

Design Offices, Consultants need to have an understanding of this technology (how it works, applications, performance characteristics, etc.). The aim of this CPD is to deliver this “understanding” covering the topics below listed in the “learning” section.

Intro to A2W Technology

This CPD introduces the audience to Air to Water Technology. The UK Government has a target of 600,000 heat pumps installed by 2028 as part of its drive towards Net Zero. 

Design Offices, Consultants need to have an understanding of this technology (how it works, applications, performance characteristics, etc.). The aim of this CPD is to deliver this “understanding” covering the topics below listed in the “learning” section. 

R290 Refrigerant

R290 refrigerant, also known as propane, is a hydrocarbon used in cooling and heat pump systems. This presentation involves understanding its properties, safety considerations, and environmental impact, ensuring effective and responsible use in refrigeration applications.

Drive Towards Low-GWP Refrigerants)

The F-Gas regulation is a trending topic and this CPD talks about the EU (and GB) regulations and the phase down of refrigerant use.

It looks at the advantages of R32, discuses alternative refrigerants and the future of R410A.

Indoor Air Quality

This CPD talks about the importance of air quality in the workplace and the detrimental effect it can have on our wellbeing.

It also discusses how you can combat indoor air pollution with Panasonic’s nanoe^TMX technology.

(RACHP) - Focus on Split and VRF Technology

This CPD introduces the audience to the Principles of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and, Heat Pumps (RACHP) focusing on split and VRF technology. It looks at the basic components of the refrigeration cycle and how they work together to provide indoor comfort.
