Feature
GETTING THERE Entrance is free and the show opens daily at 9:00. But remember you have to pay for the parking as usual with Gallagher. You want to park by Hall 5 and 6 – just follow the signs. Avoid the traffic by coming early and checking your emails at the show, or stay on for an exhibitor function afterwards to avoid the rush back home.
TALK TO US In the end, we want you to have the best FRIGAIR you could possibly have, getting the most out of the show and your time there. So let us know what you liked and what you didn’ t like, what you would do differently and what really impressed you. The more we know, the better we can make FRIGAIR 2028. Also, if you are not already a subscriber to RACA Journal and Cold Link Africa, take this opportunity to sign up for free monthly digital copies.
EVENTS AND LAUNCHES The exhibitors are planning many fun and exciting moments. Past iterations have had live demos, lucky draws and musical entertainment.
FRIGAIR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT HUB A major highlight of FRIGAIR 2025 will be the FRIGAIR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT HUB, where six talented contestants will go head-to-head in a series of challenging tasks:
• Electrical: Three-phase motor testing and star / delta wiring
• Hand Tools: Demonstrating proficiency in essential hand tool techniques
• Refrigeration Tubing: Expert bending, flaring, swaging and compression jointing
• Installation: Precision in pipework, electrical connections, pressure testing and evacuation
• Commissioning: Mastery in charging, evacuation, and superheat procedures, including recovery
Witness the intensity and precision firsthand! Visitors are invited to an engaging experience observing these talented individuals in action. With safety as our top priority, viewing areas will be thoughtfully designed, safeguarding attendees from any potential risks associated with gas and brazing procedures. Heartfelt thanks go to Metraclark, Rothenberger, A-Gas, Maksal and Dromex for their generous sponsorship of equipment, gas, tools, safety gloves and glasses.
Make the most of Frigair with some planning.
