Bitzer sends compressors to Beijer Ref academy
21st July 2025UK: Green Point, Bitzer UK’s compressor remanufacturing and specialist service arm, has provided two Bitzer reciprocating compressors to Beijer Ref’s UK training academy in Wetherby.
The two semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors, an Ecoline CO2 and an HFO-compatible second generation Octagon model, will be used to demonstrate the fundamentals of compressor operation and maintenance to engineers at all levels.

“Our academies are designed to offer the very latest in sustainable technology, and whilst semi-hermetic compressors have been used in our industry for many decades, their sustainable design suits today’s needs more than ever,” explained Ian Lemmon, Beijer Ref UK’s training manager. “Having access to real-world equipment is essential for delivering meaningful, hands-on training at our academy.”
Beijer Ref is a long-standing distributor of Bitzer products across the UK and Europe. The Beijer Ref academy opened in the UK in 2021. Last year, Green Point UK held a training day for Beijer Ref engineers at its HQ in Milton Keynes.
