SWACCA Estero: A2L Flammable Safety Training & Certification Workshop

Low GWP Refrigerant Safety: Flammable and Mildly Flammable Refrigerants

As the HVACR industry continues to move forward and innovate, the refrigerants that were once so commonplace are now being phased out. Replacing them are more energy efficient, environmentally friendlier refrigerants, known as Low GWP refrigerants. Many of these new refrigerants are classified by ASHRAE as A2L, or slightly flammable. The industry is also seeing expanded use of some hydrocarbon (A3) refrigerants, such as propane and isobutane. Students and technicians will require additional training for the safe handling and transportation of these refrigerants.

Training Manual:
The Low GWP refrigerant program manual covers:

• Refrigerant safety
