Belize Hosts First-Ever Mobile Air Conditioning Training for Technicians

The Department of the Environment (DOE), in collaboration with the National Ozone Unit under the Ministry of Sustainable Development & Climate Change, is conducting Belize’s first training program focused on Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) systems. The three-day training is designed to equip refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) technicians with the skills needed to service, repair, and maintain MAC systems efficiently.

The training reinforces Belize’s commitment to the Montreal Protocol by equipping RAC professionals with the latest eco-friendly technologies, enhancing technical skills, and reducing the environmental impact of refrigerants.

Participants are receiving hands-on instruction in system diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance of MAC systems, including those in hybrid and electric vehicles. The training also covers best practices for handling refrigerants, with a focus on transitioning to less harmful alternatives such as R-134a and R-1234yf.
