TRANSPORT WEEK 2023 – W/C 24th April

For our second virtual conference of the year, Cold Chain Transport Week is back with 3 webinars focusing on the latest challenges for operators of temperature-controlled vehicles. This year the focus will be on natural refrigerants, diesel free refrigeration, hydrogen and much more…

Tuesday 25th April 10AM – NATURAL REFRIGERANTS IN TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION: INTRODUCING ECOOLTEC

Our first webinar will look at the use of refrigerants in transport refrigeration, including how the F-Gas Regulations are placing operators under pressure to find alternatives to the high GWP refrigerants currently ubiquitous in transport refrigeration units. We will then focus on how natural refrigerants can offer the solution to these challenges and introduce the new Ecooltec transport refrigeration unit, which offers diesel free refrigeration using natural refrigerants.

Speakers:

  • Tom Southall, Executive Director, Cold Chain Federation
  • Dr Jurgen Suess, Technical Director Ecooltec
  • Dr Dermot Cotter, Managing Director Star Technical Services
