Green Point UK, the remanufacturing and specialist service arm of Bitzer UK, has provided two reciprocating compressors to Beijer Ref’s UK training academy.
The Bitzer compressors include one HFO-compatible model and one CO₂ unit, both of which will be used to demonstrate how compressor technology works and why it is a critical part of any cooling system.
The compressors were recently presented by Will Pribyl, General Manager at Green Point UK, during a visit to the Beijer Ref Academy in Wetherby.
“We’re really pleased to receive these compressors from Green Point UK,” said Ian Lemmon, Training Manager at Beijer Ref UK. “Having access to real-world equipment is essential for delivering meaningful, hands-on training at our academy. These Bitzer compressors will help us demonstrate the fundamentals of compressor operation and maintenance to engineers at all levels.
"Our academies are designed to offer the very latest in sustainable technology, and whilst semi-hermetic compressors have been used in our industry for many decades, their sustainable design suits today’s needs more than ever. It’s a great example of industry collaboration to support technical development and raise standards across the sector.”
Beijer Ref is a long-standing distributor of Bitzer products across the UK and Europe and its first academy opened in the UK towards the end of 2021. This donation follows on from a successful training day held at Green Point UK in Milton Keynes last year, where Beijer Ref engineers were given a detailed introduction to compressor technologies and the remanufacturing process. Following the session, Green Point UK arranged for the two compressors to be delivered to the Beijer Ref Academy to support its training programmes.
“We’re delighted to be able to support Beijer Ref with its training initiatives,” said Will Pribyl, General Manager at Green Point UK. “By supplying Bitzer compressor technology to the Beijer Ref Academy, we’re helping to invest in people and giving the next generation of engineers, and today’s professionals, the opportunity to train with equipment that’s among the best on the market.
"Bitzer compressors are known for their quality and performance, so this is a great way for trainees to get hands-on experience with the kind of technology they’re likely to find in the field.”
Green Point UK recently announced that its own Bitzer compressor training programme is now open for bookings. Anyone interested in learning more can register their interest here: Green Point Compressor Training.
