The new airconditioning and refrigeration qualification. Apprenticeships, part qualifications and skills programmes will be additional focus areas. |
This talk will cover the details regarding the air conditioning and refrigeration sector having shifted from legacy systems to the new occupational qualification highlighting the fact that various stakeholders should ensure continuous training and certification pathways for the next generation of technicians.
The talk will include evaluating the benefits of a sub critical, hybrid condenser for CO2 application, which is a new concept and is an Evapco prototype product under development.
Risk management is essential for ensuring the safety, quality, and integrity of temperature-sensitive products in the cold chain. By understanding the risks in the cold chain and implementing effective risk management strategies, businesses can minimise the impact of potential disruptions and maintain the confidence of their customers and stakeholders.
