CO2 Training

Zero Zone offers a comprehensive in-person program designed to equip technicians with the knowledge and skills required to work with CO2 refrigeration, including installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety considerations. Training for CO2 refrigeration systems is essential as these systems become more favored due to their low global warming potential and natural properties, making it an eco-friendlier choice compared to traditional synthetic refrigerants. However, working with CO2 refrigerants requires specific knowledge and skills, as they operate at higher pressures and have different characteristics than traditional refrigerants like HFCs.
