The free CPD events will start at 08.30 and consist of five seminars followed by Q&A sessions, ending at 11.00. Afterwards there will also be an opportunity for attendees to have one-to-one sessions to discuss particular business concerns.

Dr Rob Lamb, Star Refrigeration’s group sales and marketing director, will start off the sessions with a 20-minute seminar on the F-gas regulations and how to prepare for the HFC phase down. In a second presentation, he will look at various ways of reducing energy consumption, including reduction of heat load and component selection.

Peter Boggiano, head of business development of Star Refrigeration’s Operations Group, will tackle the topic of plant reliability, highlighting the areas where aftercare have a major impact including efficiency, health & safety, legal compliance and productivity. He will be followed by Star Renewable Energy’s director Dave Pearson who will discuss heat recovery and the re-utilisation of waste heat and cooling for industrial process and district networks.

Dr Lamb added, “All of the topics covered during our roadshow have been chosen by people who registered their interest to attend the event. We wanted to make sure we are delivering the most useful information for attendees, and we know a lot of people have questions surrounding these issues. Over 250 people have already signed up for the event and we’re looking forward to reaching as many industry professionals as possible.”
