CO2 Epta Training Centre 

 

Benefitting from its extensive experience in natural refrigerant applications and especially in the installation of CO2 systems, in 2009 Epta decided to set up a Training Centre in the United Kingdom:  a hub in which this unique expertise can be shared. So far over 250 Epta Group professionals as well as external specialists from the industry have been involved in the training and refresher courses offered on advanced techniques.

These high-level courses focus on the use of CO2 as refrigerant and on the technical knowledge needed in this area.

 

A complete state-of-the-art set of equipment is made available to the attendees for the purposes of training and research:

  • Cascade System
    A two compressor cascade system with standby cooling together with inverter control.
  • Transcritical Booster system
    A multi compressor system comprising MT and LT booster compressors. The system is configured to utilise multiple transcritical and flash gas solutions. The plant is equipped with inverters and standby cooling.
  • Pumped system 
    Featuring a hermetic refrigerant pump and multiple regulation valve options. This structure has obtained the “City & Guilds” certification which attests to the value of the Epta experience, a further confirmation of its high quality standards. The centre is managed by two City and Guilds approved assessors, the teaching positions are entrusted to knowledgeable and qualified consultants who can lecture in many different languages. The staff's expertise was earned over many years of work with CO2 systems. The F-Gas centre is equipped with a City & Guilds approved test ring and full brazing equipment.
