E-learning and training on alternative refrigerants
REAL Alternatives 4 LIFE
The European F Gas Regulation of 2014 encourages wider adoption of alternatives to high GWP HFC refrigerants and this evolving programme led by the IOR provides information on the safe use of alternatives:
- A2L HFO rfrigerants
- hydrocarbon
- carbon dioxide
- ammonia
- R32
Guides to alternative refrigerant use
Free resources including nine "REAL Alternatives" learning booklets can be downloaded free at www.realalternatives.eu
The website also has a library of additional resources and links to useful events and news about alternative refrigerant use.
E-learning programme
See the IOR's free e-learning programme covering the safety, efficiency, reliability and containment of low GWP alternative refrigerants – Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia, Hydrocarbon and low flammables (HFOs and R32). There are 9 Modules in the programme and a Course Description shown on the e-learning platform.
Learning modules currently available:
1. Introduction to Alternative Refrigerants - safety, efficiency, reliability and good practice (MANDATORY)
2. Safety and risk assessment (MANDATORY)
3. System design using alternative refrigerants
4. Containment and leak detection of alternative refrigerants
5. Maintenance and repair of alternative refrigerant systems
6. Retrofitting existing systems
7. Checklist of legal obligations when working with alternative refrigerants
8. Measuring the financial and environmental impact of leakage
9. Tools and guidance for conducting site surveys
