Working safely with flammable refrigerants

UK: Free expert practical advice on the safe use of flammable refrigerants will be offered in a forthcoming Cool Talk webinar organised by the Institute of Refrigeration.

With most of the lower GWP refrigerant options now available having some degree of flammability it is vitally important that the industry knows how to use them safely. The event on January 27 will discuss the application of refrigerants of various flammability categories and ensure that these refrigerants are used safely – even in areas where the public has access such as shops.

This Cool Talk is designed to provide participants with ample opportunity to send in questions in advance or ask them on the day.
