IIAR Seminar on Natural Refrigeration met expectations

Chile. The XVII version of the IIAR Seminar on Natural Refrigeration for Latin America, Santiago 2018, organized by the Chilean Chamber of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (CChRyC), in conjunction with the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR), held on August 30 and 31, aimed to show how to naturally refrigerate an industrial refrigeration system with ammonia, and also deliver the guidelines to respond to the regulation on security conditions that will be launched soon in that country.

The event was held at the Hotel Cumbres Vitacura and the 232 attendees had the opportunity to be present at the keynote speech and more than 9 technical presentations aimed at responding to the challenges of the regulations, membership of the international affiliate to the IIAR, work material, among other subjects.

Among the main rapporteurs were the president of the Chilean Chamber of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Peter Yufer in conjunction with Hugo Cordero, regional chemical safety manager of the Los Lagos Region and supervisor of the occupational health unit, who spoke about: What is it and how does it apply the regulations of the Ministry of Health (MINSAL)?, audit guidelines. The topic was well received by the audience and after the exhibitions an interesting round of questions was generated.  

The next rapporteur was Yesenia Rector, from IIAR United States, who spoke about the management of the safety plan in ammonia refrigeration systems.
