SUMMARY:Workshop: Low GWP Safety Training and Certification
DESCRIPTION:As the HVACR industry continues to move forward and innovate\, the refrigerants that were once so commonplace are now being phased down. Replacing them are more energy efficient and environmentally friendlier refrigerants\, know as Low GWP refrigerants. Many of these new refrigerants are classified by ASHRAE as A2L or slightly flammable. \nWith numerous changes to building codes and industry standards to accommodate the safe use of Low GWP refrigerants\, those working in the HVACR industry will need information and training to keep pace with innovation. \nThis Workshop is professionally managed by Construction Resources Group (CRG\, Inc). \nThis Safety Training Workshop (with study guide) and ESCO Certification Exam covers: \n\nRefrigerant safety\nIntroduction to Low GWP refrigerants\nRefrigerant properties and characteristics\nThe refrigeration cycle\nWorking with refrigerant blends\nProper installation and service guidelines\nFlammable refrigerant considerations\nExplanation of the associated codes and standards for A2L refrigerants\n\nIndustry Expert Instructor:\nBob Feathers\, HVAC Specialties\n \nCost:\n$259/person \nSchedule:\n8:00am – Sign In\nCoffee\, donuts and pastries provided by Trane; snacks provided by CRG\n7:30am – Noon – Flammable Refrigerant Safety Training\nLunch on your own\n1:00pm – 2:30pm – Certification Exam \nLimited seating…register today! \nHow to Register\nClick here to download the registration form. \nComplete the registration form and email to charris@crgnet.net or call 727-578-1962 or mail form to CRG\, Inc.\, 466 94th Ave N\, St. Petersburg\, FL 33702
