In an evolving HVACR industry, traditional refrigerants are making way for more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives known as Low GWP refrigerants. Honeywell, a leading brand in this sector, offers a free A2L Refrigerant Safety Training Course for industry professionals, providing crucial insights into the safe handling of these refrigerants.
This online course, available for 120 days at no cost, is a timely resource. With the industry adopting Low GWP refrigerants and slightly flammable A2L refrigerants, such as hydrocarbons, additional safety measures are essential. The training aims to equip technicians and students with the necessary knowledge to handle these refrigerants securely.
