The 6187-21 City & Guilds Hydrocarbon Refrigerant Handling qualification is designed for engineers working with refrigeration and air conditioning systems that use hydrocarbon refrigerants such as R290 (Propane) and R600a (Isobutane).
Hydrocarbon refrigerants are increasingly used due to their low environmental impact and high energy efficiency, but they are flammable, meaning engineers must be trained in safe working procedures.
This course provides engineers with the knowledge and practical skills required to safely install, service, maintain and repair systems using hydrocarbon refrigerants, while complying with industry safety standards.
This course is suitable for:
- Refrigeration engineers
- Air conditioning engineers
- Heat pump engineers
- HVAC service technicians
- Engineers working with R290, R600a or other hydrocarbon refrigerants
- Candidates should already have experience working with refrigerant systems and hold an F-Gas qualification.
- The course covers the safe handling and use of hydrocarbon refrigerants, including both theory and practical training.
- Hydrocarbon Refrigerant Properties
- Characteristics of hydrocarbon refrigerants
- Difference between hydrocarbons and HFC refrigerants
- Safety & Risk Awareness
- Flammability risks associated with hydrocarbons
- Hazardous area awareness
- Safe working practices when handling flammable refrigerants
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- System Procedures
- Servicing hydrocarbon refrigeration systems
- Leak detection techniques
- System evacuation procedures
- Charging hydrocarbon refrigerants
- Refrigerant Recovery
- Safe recovery procedures for hydrocarbon refrigerants
- Correct use of recovery equipment
- Safe refrigerant storage and transport
- Brazing & Pipework
- Safe brazing procedures
- Nitrogen purging during brazing
- Producing leak-free joints on refrigeration pipework
- The course price includes:
- Classroom training
- Practical hands-on training
- Course materials
- Theory and practical assessments
- City & Guilds certification upon successful completion
Upon successful completion candidates will receive the City & Guilds 6187-21 Level 2 Award in Hydrocarbon Refrigerant Handling.
This qualification confirms the engineer has the knowledge and competence required to safely work with hydrocarbon refrigerants.
