Future:Gas Road Show 2016
For the first time in two decades, automotive air-conditioning is undergoing substantial change, with the current industry-standard refrigerant R134a being replaced by two new gases, R1234yf and R744, which have been adopted by the global vehicle manufacturers.
Both new gases and the systems designed for them will present significant changes to the tools, working practices, component standards and workplace safety considerations relating to repair, service and refrigerant recovery.
The future:gas seminars will be vital to businesses and technicians facing a rapidly changing industry, providing access to the industry’s top experts and explaining the reason for the changes, the technical background of the new refrigerants, new safe working practices and standards relating to the quality and design of both components and service equipment.
If you work in automotive air-conditioning, going to your local future:gas seminars is a must, because we’ve seen all the confusing conflicting messages and misinformation.
Venues and dates for the seminars are Newcastle NSW, July 6; Sydney NSW, July 7; Melbourne VIC, July 13; Hobart TAS, July 14; Adelaide SA, July 26; Perth WA, July 27; Darwin NT, July 28; Townsville QLD, August 3; Brisbane QLD, August 4; Auckland NZ, August 10.
