Course Refrigerated Transport Technology
Would you like to understand how refrigerated transport equipment works? Would you like to learn how your settings affect the climate conditions during reefer transport? Than this course is ideal for you. Temperature controlled transport by reefer containers and trucks is an important topic in the logistics chain of temperature sensitive goods. Extended knowledge on the complex subject of refrigeration helps to improve climate control and energy efficiency in a safe manner, extend shelf life and minimise waste.
Registration deadline: 15 October 2023
Why follow this course?
The aim of this course is to:
- Learn the basics of refrigerated transport technology.
- Understand how to apply this technology to control temperature, humidity and gas atmosphere conditions during transportation in an energy efficient way leading to optimisation of the total cold chain.
This course was hard work, the knowledge could be detailed for a person with a more commercial background. But with the support of the experts I learned an awful lot on how we can deliver the cargo in optimal condition.
Our climate chamber test learnings that are used in this course give you unique insights and learning experience.
This course was really suitable for me. A good impression of the technology related to refrigerated transport.
Is this course for you?
This online course is designed for professionals responsible for and/or interested in reefer transport of temperature controlled cargoes e.g. fruits, meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, dairy and non-food products e.g. flowers and pharmaceuticals. Both technical and non-engineering educated professionals can join this course.
