Hi all,
Just joined and already asking questions, must be a Dutch guy :)
My question is about training / Handling / Procedures when working on CO2 industrial refrigeration plants.
I found out that BOC UK has a specific training and also Grenco NL, but apart from that, I didn't find any other information.
So, please help me if you can.
Best regards,
DubbelJoe
I might be impatience, but doesn’t anybody have anything to say about training?
How did you guys find out everything you know than :confused: ?
(24 viewer already ;) )
Regards,
DubbelJoe

With this I specifically talking about commercial refrigeration/HVAC.
Finding training on ammonia systems can be even more difficult.
CO2 is just starting to be used more often now (once again after about a 40 year absence). It might be a while before we see any CO2 refrigeration schools.;)
Or anyone experienced enough to teach :)Quote:

While CO2 was being used more often years ago, those guys are all retired, if they are still with us at all.
Until this new trend started the only place you might find a CO2 system was in a brewery. I'm not sure how that fits into your buiness plan, but I suspect it is close to your heart.:D
At the moment we are in the process of building various large CO2 refrigeration plants in the EU and in Eastern Europe. Because I have to find ways to educate people, I was just wondering about courses that are already out there.
I will attend a training in the UK on the 9th of november. I can post my experiences here for all?

You may be interested to know that the Institute of Refrigeration in London produced a CO2 code a few years ago, and Hans Wijbenga translated and published a Dutch language version of it. There was also a rather fine :cool: short course on CO2 maintenance at the Gustav Lorentzen conference in Glasgow in 2004. Proceedings available from IoR in London

(or anyone who was there)

Please do this. I'm sure it may also help others who have similar questions.Quote:

I still think it is good to collect experiences

Somehow they changed their minds on having the
training in Holland. So I'm trying to find a new training.
Any sugestions yet?

Hi all
I went on a Co2 training course in Denmark at the DTI Danish Technoogical Institute. It was a great help in understanding how Co2 works as a refrigerent.
Also explained on all styles of systems & there advantages.
