Free Webinar: A3 Highly Flammable Refrigerants: Applications and Safe Handling, June 18, 9:30 am - 1:30 pm PT
Event Description
As the industry transitions away from high-GWP refrigerants toward more sustainable alternatives, hydrocarbons, classified as A3 refrigerants, are being reintroduced into a wide range of residential and commercial applications. While these refrigerants offer clear environmental advantages, their high flammability demands specialized training, awareness, and procedures.
This course was developed to serve as an instructional resource for working with A3 hydrocarbon refrigerants such as propane (R-290) and isobutane (R-600a). It combines essential background knowledge with step-by-step safety practices, guided by the latest codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.
Upon completing this training, HVACR professionals are encouraged to take the A3 Refrigerant Certification exam. The A3 Refrigerants: Hydrocarbon Refrigerant Safety examination validates that a person possesses the knowledge to safely work with A3 refrigerants and helps reduce liability.
The 50-question, closed-book exam covers the following competencies:
