Taking the Cool Talk breakfast online

UK: The next Institute of Refrigeration Cool Talk Breakfast meeting will be broadcast as a webinar due to the continuing restrictions of the coronavirus lockdown.  

Apart from participants having to provide their own coffee and bacon rolls, and being unable to network with other attendees, the format of the next event on May 20 will be much the same as the real thing.

The topic for Wednesday’s meeting is A2L refrigerants. Short talks will be given by Fujitsu’s Martin Ives, who will speak on the service and maintenance of R32 air conditioning equipment, and Dewi Garcia of Harp International, who will tackle the subject of safe handling of A2L and other flammable refrigerant cylinders.

The webinar is free and there will be time to ask questions on topical issues. CPD certificates will be available.

Book for the event here.
