Star Refrigeration goes back on the road

UK: Star Refrigeration is to host two seminars in Scotland in June to inform industrial refrigeration and heating equipment operators on energy efficiency, technology developments and regulatory and legislative responsibilities.

The half-day, free-to-attend CPD seminars and Q&A sessions, taking place in Aberdeen and Glasgow, are targeted at those working in cold storage, food and drink manufacturing, HVAC, ice rinks, pharma and petrochemical industries. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the innovative talks and there will be time to discuss specific topics with experts during one-to-one sessions.

Star will be sharing knowledge and practical advice on the current issues facing the cooling industry. Star is inviting attendees to recommend topics they would be interested in to ensure operators get the most out of the event, and receive valuable insights to improve their businesses. Feedback can be recorded when booking a place online. Star’s team will then tailor the content of the sessions to include the most popular topics.

The European Commission’s recently published draft F-gas revision proposal is likely to be a hot topic for businesses using heating and refrigeration plants. Star has planned seminars around the refrigerant phase-out and legislative compliance, future refrigerants available to users, heat pumps and advice on improving refrigeration plant energy performance and working toward net zero targets.

The Star 2022 Roadshow takes place on 14 June 2022 at Curl Aberdeen, and 16 June 2022 at the Best Western Moorings Hotel, Glasgow from 09.00 to 13.30. Both events are free to attend, but registration must be made in advance.
