INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
# FRIGAIR2018
OUTSIDE STANDS
A-Gas South Africa had their Rapid Recovery service vehicle with its units and cylinders. Nicholas Schonegevel( pictured left) and Jay Schonken, Rapid Recovery technician at A-Gas, shared how they go out to a client’ s site in conjunction with the HVAC contractor and reclaim the refrigerant at an unmatched speed, saving the client time and money and protecting the environment.“ We recover refrigerant up to 10 times faster than conventional recovery machines, therefore reducing downtime and saving on labour costs. A certificate for the recovered refrigerant is then issued to the client as proof for safe disposal,” he said.
Aggreko exhibited their 100kW chiller and 16kVA generator. Kagiso Makgatho( pictured), sector manager: temperature control – sub-Saharan Africa, said the equipment is available only for rental, and potential clients are welcome to transport them with their own trailers. Visitors who spent time with Makgatho learnt the kinds of contingency planning they offer:“ For instance, if your chiller goes down or if you need additional renting power,” Makgatho explained. The units on display were the smaller versions of what they offer. ebmPapst showcased their new 910mm axiblade fan together with Generation 3 EC electronics outside. Visitors( pictured) had a chance to experience its intensity by switching it on and playing with the different settings. The inside stand also featured various energysaving products.
Evapco put one of its MTT-range open-circuit cooling towers outside to entice visitors to visit its stand inside and find out more. This massive unit could be seen as you walked to the entrance of the show, literally towering above the rest.“ It is a product to be proud of in the Evapco group and its quality was also our main reason to showcase the unit,” said Ivan Loader of Evapco.

GEA Africa had on display one of their SLXI ranges as well as the Thermoking diesel electric unit. They also exhibited transport refrigeration and tail lifts. Chantel Kent-Brown( pictured), sales representative, was available to provide solutions to visitors.
OTTC was at the show to inform passers-by about the training they provide for industry technicians.“ We are a training school and are purely promoting the training of refrigeration and the idea of safe training of technicians,” said refrigeration master, Martin McEneaney-Nel. According to him, without the trained technicians none of the big machines in the refrigeration industry would work.
