UBA workshop on natural refrigerants in commercial refrigeration

On 14 October, the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) is organising a full day ‘Workshop of the EU project SPIN, Commercial Refrigeration with Natural Refrigerants, Perspectives for Craftsmen’ that will explore environmentally friendly techniques and financing possibilities for end users, targeting craft companies that want to broaden their expertise in innovative refrigeration technologies, employing natural refrigerants.

In the morning of the same day, eurammon will be organising a lecture on ‘Applications with Natural Refrigerants - country situation and experiences’.
