Commercial refrigeration is focus

UAE: The latest commercial refrigeration technologies will be the focus of the next Eurovent Middle East HVACR Leadership Workshops on October 30.

The Eurovent association’s non-commercial, free-of-charge seminar will see leading experts in commercial refrigeration outlining ways to achieve a higher food safety and cost savings through state-of-the-art refrigeration technologies.

The event, taking place in Dubai, will cover international regulatory developments; influence of cooler units in preventing moisture and aroma loss in open-shelf products; natural refrigerant systems in warm climates; benefits of air curtains in cold stores; the Eurovent certified performance programme for refrigerated display cabinets.

There will also be discussions on new refrigerants, best practices for commercial refrigeration in hot climates, and core issues and challenges for commercial refrigeration consultants.

The seminar will be hosted by Eurovent Association deputy secretary general Francesco Scuderi, one of Europe’s leading experts in the commercial refrigeration sector.

“Commercial refrigeration is one of the most dynamic areas within the HVACR sector, with supermarkets changing their equipment in short cycles, and new, F-gas compliant solutions rapidly entering the market,” Scuderi commented. “We would like our HVACR Leadership Workshops to provide participants from the GCC region with an overview on latest technologies and regulatory developments, while sharing best practices from the Middle East and Europe.”

HVACR Leadership Workshops is a new seminar series by Eurovent Middle East, aimed at engineering and MEP consultants, investors and planners in the UAE.

The event takes place at Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre on 30 October 2017 from 18.00-21.00. Interested can now sign up free-of-charge at www.eurovent.me.
