Carrier offers chiller efficiency courses

UK: Carrier is offering three new online CPD courses focusing on chiller efficiency and compliance in relation to the latest European and UK regulations. 

The modules cover the impact on chiller design and performance requirements of the latest F-gas regulation and Ecodesign directives, the operation and application of absorption chillers, and chiller efficiency in relation to the F-gas regulation.

“The changes introduce new mandatory requirements with important implications for chiller design and performance. It is important that consultants, contractors and end users are aware of these, so they can make informed choices on equipment and ensure buildings comply with the new requirements,” said Neil Hitching, director, business development, Toshiba Carrier UK Ltd (TCUK).

Carrier’s chiller-based CPD courses will run alongside TCUK’s established programme of CPD modules, which focus on VRF air conditioning systems and split and multi-split systems. Ciat, one of Europe’s leading names in cooling, heating, and indoor air quality, and member of the Carrier group, is currently developing courses centering on air handling units and fan coils.

“The aim is to create a complete programme of CPDs covering the spectrum of key HVAC technologies,” said Neil Hitching. “As an industry leader, we see it as an important part of our role to increase knowledge and raise technical standards. Based on feedback from attendees, we know the courses are valued and meet a pressing need for up-to-date guidance on the latest technology and legislation.”
