Bitzer, refrigerant, training

Bitzer UK reports that its test rig designed specifically for refrigeration training centres and colleges offering F-gas training and refrigeration compliance courses is proving extremely popular.

This fully mobile rig enables engineers to carry out all the necessary tasks and tests — including the simulation of fault conditions, leak identification, pressure setting, variation of evaporator and fan speed control. They can also change key components, remove pipework and braze in pipe repairs.

Colleges or training schools buying the rig can expect a quick return on investment with the current focus on F-gas compliance and training.
