Kevin Glass, managing director of Bitzer UK (pictured), said: “We were delighted with the response from Airedale. The aim is to provide a valuable blend of solid technical training in the principles behind the technology, plus practical help that addresses the real-world application issues that designers and engineers face every day in the course of their work.”
Bitzer UK has hosted a three-day training programme for engineers and service staff from Airedale International Air Conditioning Ltd.
Some 45 Airedale staff attended the sessions, which included a detailed technical briefing on Bitzer’s new CSVH range of high efficiency compact inverter screw compressors.
The training programme was part of Airedale’s preparations for its forthcoming roll-out of a new range of high performance, energy efficient chillers based on Bitzer’s CSVH screw compressor.
Training manager and business development director at Bitzer UK, Marcus Levy, said: “The aim was to provide Airedale engineers with a comprehensive overview and technical understanding of the principles and application of the CSVH range. It provided a solid grounding in its application, installation, commissioning and service and maintenance. From feedback received, it was a valuable three days for everyone who attended.”
UK service manager at Airedale, Adrian Trevelyan, said: “We really appreciate Bitzer’s support in putting together this bespoke course specially for Airedale. It was pitched at just the right level and with appropriate content.”
Bitzer UK opened its training centre in Milton Keynes last year. Courses cover a general introduction to compressor technology, plus detailed modules on screw compressors, reciprocating compressors, and condensing units. A key theme is UK requirements and applications.

The Bitzer facility has capacity for up to 16 delegates at a time, enabling the Airedale training programme to run as three one-day sessions.
Other courses cover topics such as understanding and managing refrigerant Glide, the regulatory framework and implications of the coming phase-down of high global warming F-Gas refrigerants, and using online resources to support commissioning and servicing.
