Working with R290 webinar

UK: A free CIBSE-accredited CPD webinar explaining how R290 refrigerant is shaping the future of sustainable HVAC is being hosted by Swegon UK & Ireland this coming Thursday, 27 February.

As regulations tighten on synthetic refrigerants, propane stands as a future-proof option, playing a pivotal role in the green transition.

This 90-minute session will cover the F-gas regulation, flammability, safety, application and installation considerations, and limitations in the transportation of equipment containing A3 refrigerant. It will also provide examples of propane heat pump projects.

The webinar is described as being ideal for HVAC consultants, engineers, and sustainability professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve with low GWP refrigerants, improve energy efficiency, and navigate the latest regulatory changes.
