The objective of the meeting is to discuss restrictions on import and use of refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) equipment with high GWP and / or poor efficiency, and related enforcement mechanisms. Based on the discussion, ECA might consider related legislative and policy measures to enhance the HFC phase-down and energy-efficiency.
This workshop will contribute to fulfilling the recommendations of the Caribbean Network Meeting held in June 2024 when Countries voiced an emerging concern pertaining to the implementation of their HPMPs, and HFC phase-down phase under the Kigali Amendment.

To ensure the success of a sustainable cold chain, many differing factors need to coalesce.
The training is intended for RACHP specialists, students of refrigeration universities/colleges, and NOU representatives. Predictive maintenance is based on the condition of equipment and makes it possible to avoid breakdowns and performance drift without spending time on frequent site visits. Portable devices make measurements/verification of performance/troubleshooting of cooling systems. All participants received certificates, presentations and guidelines.
