The two-module course introduces the basics of working on carbon dioxide systems and helps prepare students for advanced studies of CO2 (R744) refrigeration systems. Divided into "CO2 Refrigeration Fundamentals" and "CO2 Refrigeration System Basics", the course covers design, installation and maintenance issues. Explaining the advantages and challenges of using R744, it educates on leak and pressure testing, as well as charging and venting. Moreover, the course describes the basic components and functionality of CO2 systems, including volatile secondary (with direct expansion and cascade), trans-critical and direct expansion.

Star Refrigeration decided to launch the pioneering course as a response to the rising interest in CO2 Technology, and worldwide upcoming restrictions on the use of CFC and HFC refrigerants. It has been developed by Star Refrigeration's engineers, with more learning material coming from partners worldwide, such as Danfoss. The company is sure that R744-based systems will lead to many job opportunities in the near future.
The course is certified by the accreditation body CIBSE (The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) and the Construction CPD International service.
