The term ‘F-gas’ is an abbreviation for ‘fluorinated gases. These are manmade gases created by blending various chemicals. F-gases are used in a range of applications, including heating and cooling, as well as fire extinguishers and other aerosols. These gases are harmful to the ozone layer if released, so special F-gas courses are required to ensure safe practices when working with F-gas equipment.
There are three main types of F-gas, all covered in our training:
The most common are HFCs, which contain hydrogen, fluorine and carbon.
Our F-gas training courses are suited to those looking to work in the heating and cooling industry, specifically with applications containing manmade fluorinated gases. Cat 1 courses are tailored for different experience levels, with Cat 1 being better suited to those with more experience.
The LCL RQF F-gas course we provide at MGE Training will need to be renewed once every five years to ensure candidates are up to date with evolving legislation and practices.
Once you receive your F gas qualification, you’ll be able to work on heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems containing fluorinated gases. Completing the Cat 1 course means you can work with systems of any size.
There is no recommended reading before starting an F gas training course. However, educating yourself on the latest legislation and practices could prove beneficial.
Certainly. The F gas training provides attendees with information that could enable them to find their own businesses, working in the installation, servicing and repair of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems containing F-gases.
