Danfoss CO2 training unit to hit NZ, Australian shores

Danfoss’ CO₂ Mobile Training Unit is now heading to Australia and New Zealand to help local communities improve their competency with CO₂-based HVAC&R technologies.

The CO₂ Mobile Training Unit can be shipped to any Danfoss or customer location worldwide for training by local experts.

Danfoss’ CO₂ Mobile Training Unit is designed to address a growing industry need for knowledgeable and skilled CO₂ technicians, with the natural refrigerant becoming an increasingly popular choice for HVAC&R customers globally. It is now heading to Australia and New Zealand to help the local communities there to improve their competency with CO₂ technology.

“

Part of our mission with the CO₂ Mobile Training Unit is to provide system builders, as well as contractors, service technicians, installers, and technical departments with the necessary knowledge about CO₂ that will enable them to take advantage of the full potential of this natural refrigerant.”
– Inderpal Saund, Danfoss

Danfoss will hold “open house” sessions to show off the training unit’s equipment and components for CO₂ solutions as well as hands-on training sessions led by dedicated Danfoss CO₂ experts who will share their in-depth knowledge of the natural refrigerant’s properties. The sessions will also shed light on the opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of CO₂.

“The technology for CO₂ is available today, although it continues to evolve,” said Inderpal Saund, Danfoss’ business development manager (food retail) for the Asia-Pacific region.

The CO₂ solutions presented in the mobile training unit range from simple gas-bypass systems to more complex parallel compression solutions with or without heat reclaim.

Moreover, the training unit introduces the Danish multinational’s AHR Expo Innovation Award-winning ejector technology, which many industry experts recognise as key to the evolution of transcritical CO₂ refrigeration. These ejectors have the potential to boost the energy efficiency of systems by up to 20% on the hottest days of the year, thereby solving a problem that previously limited the use of transcritical CO₂ systems to milder climates.

By attending the training modules, the participants will learn about designing transcritical systems (booster, parallel and ejectors), commissioning CO₂ systems, setting up pack and case controls, observing service procedures, and troubleshooting and correction.

Danfoss’ CO₂ Mobile Training Unit will be on display in:

Sydney, TAFE NSW, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Trades, Nirimba College, 12-21 September;
Melbourne, Danfoss Office: 2 National Drive, Dandenong South, 27 September-6 October;
Auckland, Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), 24 October-2 November.
