The IOR's RACHP EngTech Section has been reissuing its good practice guides and bulletins. Our latest ones, listed below, are a source of practical "toolbox talk" style information:

Dangers of Odourless Refrigerant (F20)

Ammonia Systems: Oil Draining (GPG 17)

Carriage of Cylinders Frequently Asked Questions (GPG 27)

Safe Use of Service Manifolds (GPG29)

 

They will be of interest to technicians, service engineers, installers and maintenance experts. If you are a Technician or employ Technicians please pass this information on. 

Members are sent new printed bulletins every quarter and IOR or Section members can download them for free from the IOR website. (Non members pay £6 per bulletin). 

Membership of the section is just £42 per year and includes a subscription to receive printed copies of new bulletins quarterly, immediate access to all downloads, including past bulletins and annual CPD certificate.
