The BITZER Australia and Green Point technical teams are bringing their practical R744 training to RMIT's state-of-the-art TCO2 facility in Melbourne.
BITZER's technical team has delivered a unique opportunity for apprentices, technicians, engineers and consultants to gain first-hand experience operating the kind of transcritical CO2 system that can be found in any modern supermarket or cold storage facility.
The venue is RMIT's new CO2 training facility – the most advanced refrigeration and air conditioning training system in the Asia-Pacific region.
It features frequency inverters, parallel compression, heat reclaim and air conditioning, adiabatic cooling & hydronic systems and heat transfer units.
The practical, hands-on course covers everything today’s technicians need to know:
R744 as a refrigerant: legislation and safety concerns
Compressor and heat exchange technology
Systems configuration: overview of sub and transcritical operation
Basic commissioning overview
TCO2 Plant service and maintenance
Pack control overview
Practical Demonstration:
Replace liquid line filter, operate liquid bypass, correct torque filter cap, evacuate, add R744 Vapour and open liquid line for normal operation
Replace oil separator coalescing filter, isolate rack electrically and mechanically, blow down high side pressure, replace filter, re-torque oil sep cap, evacuate, add R744 vapour and restart rack procedure
This unique upskilling opportunity at RMIT's Carlton campus is affordably priced at $275 per person plus GST.
Several sessions have been held this year with upcoming dates periodically released on BITZER’s LinkedIn page.
The next training opportunity is in November. There will be two separate one day sessions on the 19 and 20 November, 2024.
Green Point general manager, Shannon Egan, said RMIT's training facility provides a unique opportunity for apprentices, technicians, engineers and consultants to gain first-hand experience.
"Training of men and women throughout the industry, from different backgrounds with all levels of experience, is so important - not only for the safety of the individual, but also to ensure the continued successful rollout and implementation of this technology, which is the only environmentally friendly refrigeration solution that is non-toxic and al
so non-flammable,” Egan said.
