Danfoss to host annual Refrigerant Week

Danfoss’s annual Refrigerant Week event’s third edition is slated happen from 16th September – 20th September. This year, the focus will be on equipping contractors and installers for refrigerant change and presenting the solutions that are ready today. The event will further prepare contractors and installers, along with retailers, wholesalers, operators, and OEM engineers to handle the refrigerant transition’s accelerating pace through a packed program of webinars, podcasts, and local training events.

“Refrigerant transition is an issue that affects contractors and installers all around the world, and the global nature of our Refrigerant Week reflects that,” said Torben Funder-Kristensen, head of public and industry affairs, Danfoss Cooling. “We want to help professionals everywhere to stay abreast of the latest issues and trends, but more importantly, to contribute to the conversation and give their view.”

To that end, a series of live, free webinars will be conducted during Refrigerant Week, which includes:

• Global trends on refrigerants and regulations: Get an overview of HFC legislation and the main applications for new refrigerants, and some advice from Danfoss experts (September 16).
