On 25 September at 10:00 (CEST), CAREL will be presenting a webinar-quiz, in English, on the topic of safety standards for the use of flammable refrigerants in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) systems.
RACHP applications
The progressive reduction in the use of fluorinated refrigerants has led to increased take-up of flammable refrigerants in the RACHP sector, in particular R290 (propane).
The applicable safety standards define the safety procedures to be adopted during the various stages in the design and use of systems, in particular when using flammable refrigerants. In recent years, the most widely-applied standards in the RACHP sector have been updated and/or currently are under evaluation, to adapt to the latest developments and thus extend the use of flammable refrigerants.
applicable safety standards
CAREL will offer indications for understanding the main safety standards used in RACHP applications in Europe
During the webinar, CAREL will offer key indications for understanding the main safety standards used in RACHP applications in Europe, namely EN 378, EN 60335-2-40, and EN 60335-2-89: the Group has extensive knowledge of the requirements defined by European regulations, having studied and developed solutions containing products compatible with flammable refrigerants for many years.
Biagio Lamanna, Head of the CAREL HVAC/R Knowledge Center, commented, "Safety is an absolute priority for CAREL."
safe and compliant
Biagio Lamanna adds, "Through this webinar, we aim to provide industry professionals the information they need to understand and correctly apply the relevant safety standards, ensuring that RACHP systems are safe and compliant with current regulations."
The webinar will be conducted by Miriam Solana Ciprés, HVAC/R Technical Knowledge Manager, and Raul Simonetti, HVAC/R Corporate Business Manager at CAREL. They will provide information on the practical implications of the European standards, examining the various aspects not only in a lesson format but also through a fun quiz, with gadgets awarded to the three participants who answer the most questions correctly in the shortest time.
