In March, Tropic Supply hosted Training Day events around the state in partnership with Chemours and Russell. The focus was an Introduction to A2L Refrigerants in Medium and Low Temperature Refrigeration—a comprehensive training program designed for HVACR professionals to safely handle A2L refrigerants (R-454A, R-454C, R-455) in medium and low temperature applications.

Attendees learned:
• Overview of R-454A, R-454C, and R-455, including their properties, environmental impact, and safety precautions.
• Equipment Design: Best practices for designing HVAC systems that use A2L refrigerants, with a focus on safety and efficiency.
• Installation Practices: Guidance on installing equipment with A2L refrigerants, including piping and ventilation requirements.
• Safety Procedures: Instructions on handling, charging, and recovering A2L refrigerants safely, with an emphasis on preventing cross-contamination and avoiding ignition sources.

Training Day instructors included David Harrell, Sales Education and Content Development Manager for HTPG, and Don Gillis, Educational Services Trainer for Chemours.
