Eurovent Middle East awarded the first certificates for F-Gas handling to eleven HVACR engineers and technicians from refrigeration specialist EPTA Middle East. During the three-day course, which is part of the association’s HVACR Leadership Academy, technicians were trained on the correct handling and treatment of HVACR equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases. It is dedicated to all professionals who wish to learn the best practices to install and perform servicing activities such as maintenance, repair, recovery, leakage checking as well as dismantling RAC systems containing F-Gases.
