Secop teams up with VULKAN Lokring, expert in solder-free tube connection
Secop is now working with VULKAN Lokring, a manufacturer of solder-free tube connections for the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Together the duo has delivered revised and improved version of the compressor service video providing a step-by-step example on how to service R600a and R290 Secop compressors used in domestic refrigerators.
A key challenge in the transition away from HFCs foreseen by the European F-Gas Regulation is training. The European Association of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Contractors (AREA) estimated that 3 years ago roughly 10% of technicians were educated to handle different natural refrigerants including CO2 (R744), ammonia (R717), and hydrocarbons (R600, R600a, R290).
Many organisations, including the German Federal Agency (UBA), under the Climate Action Programme 2020, are taking a pro-active approach to promoting natural refrigerants and therefore also strengthening their technical advisory services, training and education on natural refrigerants.
With the spotlight set on these issues, compressor manufacturer Secop, together with VULKAN Lokring, has produced a 17-minute video made for technicians servicing hydrocarbon compressors in domestic refrigeration.
