A webinar for technicians and service engineers
Description
Refrigerant recycling and recovery is now becoming a vital issue for the RACHP industry as HFC refrigerant supply becomes limited by the phase down. We can expect to see more recycled and reclaimed refrigerant being used as a result. This webinar will explore some of the key issues and questions about these practices including:
- Environmental and legislation around refrigerant recycling and use
- Refrigerant recovery and transfer processes– recovery machines, cylinders and waste transfer
- When to reclaim and when to recycle
- How to use reclaimed refrigerant
Programme of speakers- Introduction from the chairman of the Service Engineers Section, Gordon Adams

- Good practice in recovery and transport - getting the processes, equipment and paperwork right, Ian Lemmon, HRP
- Reclaim or recycle? Hints and tips for contractors, Brian Parker, Adcock Group
