UK: Contractors in the Hampshire area can now learn more about Fujitsu air conditioners after a range of equipment was installed at the FSW training centre in Southampton.

Fujitsu supplied FSW with single split systems including R32, as well as an Airstage J-IIS Mini VRF and Airstage VR-II heat recovery system. In addition, there is a selection of indoor units, including cassettes, ducts, floor standing and wall mounted products, alongside Fujitsu’s full range of controls.

“Working closely alongside suppliers such as FSW on training initiatives like this will ensure professionals remain up to speed with the latest air conditioning technologies and systems available,” commented Fujitsu sales and marketing director Ian Carroll.

“Having the equipment installed at the training centre is very useful, not only in terms of training staff and customers, but also in enhancing our technical support services,” added FSW air conditioning technical manager Andy Thomas.

With the new air conditioning equipment and training facilities now in place, FSW is offering a range of courses, covering: the Fujitsu product portfolio; installing, commissioning and troubleshooting splits and multi systems (including R32) as well as one covering Mini VRF. Other courses look at the VRF Design Simulator software, VRF systems and VRF central controllers.
