In order to strengthen fire and panic safety in the school community of the Wenceslau Braz Civic-Military State School (ECIM), in Brazil training of the school’s 1st Fire Brigade has been carried out through the Organic Fire Brigade Training Course – Basic Level The course, conducted by the military of the Military Fire Department of Minas Gerais (CBMMG) divided into two parts; pre-hospital care and urban fire fighting The training involved 37 teachers and students from the 3rd year of the school’s Occupational Safety Technician course The qualification offered the technical and practical part necessary for participants to acquire essential knowledge to act in emergency situations both in the area of first aid and firefighting The first stage of the course was held on March 14 Teachers and students learned about the classification of fires how to act in cases of respiratory obstruction cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers Safety procedures to be followed in cases of fire or other accidents were also discussed The second stage of the training was held on March 21 in practical mode and took place at the headquarters of the 2nd Platoon of Firefighters of the 1st Company of the 7th Independent Company of Firefighters (7th Cia Ind) The focus was on preventing and fighting the beginning of fires properly equipped with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) were able to apply what they learned in theory in addition to training safety procedures in situations involving gas cylinders all participants received the Organic Brigade certificate – Basic Level and were officially integrated into the Organic Brigade of ECIM Wenceslau Braz where they will play an essential role in fire and panic safety and well-being of the school community Training at the Wenceslau Braz Civic-Military State School in Brazil has been carried out Fire & Safety Journal Americas is a publication of Centurian Media Limited Registered office: 71-75 Shelton Street London Greater London WC2H 9JQ UNITED KINGDOMOperating office: The Maidstone Studios Centurian Media Limited (CML) is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer along with all qualified applicants that we receive for employment fixed contract or freelance projects receive consideration without regard to race CML is also committed to compliance with all fair employment practices regarding citizenship and immigration status Website hosted and maintained by Grass Media Web Design ICO registration number: CSN0536342 All content copyright Centurian Media Ltd 2019-2025 .acfil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.aqfil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.aufil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.bafil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.befil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.bjst0{fill:none}.bkfil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.bzfil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero}.ccfil0{fill:#27afb7;fill-rule:nonzero} +1 (332) 223 4004 Brazil has produced energy savings of 30kWh/month (a drop of 3.5%) compared to an almost-identical supermarket in the same chain and city using R134a consists of a propane (R290)/glycol chiller and R290/glycol/CO2 cascade system.The demo installation cost 10% more than one utilizing R134a This data was shared by Rogério Marson Rodrigues Engineering Manager for Brazilian OEM Eletrofrio during ATMOsphere America’s Latin America-focused program in Spanish on October 22 (The online conference was organized by shecco The project was a joint venture between Eletrofrio and the Ministry of the Environment of Brazil with the impetus coming from the Kigali Amendment of Montreal Protocol (Brazil has not yet ratified the Amendment which calls for a global phase down of HFCs.) Eletrofrio now has four supermarkets in Brazil using this system and the technology has been received well in the country The Eletrofrio remote system differs from many other R290 supermarket systems around the world that use self-contained R290 condensing units inside of display cases. Another example of a remote R290 system is one used by Whole Foods Market at a store in Santa Clara Rodrigues explained that in order to make the system as safe as possible glycol was used for medium temperature cabinets and cold store rooms while low temperature was handled using CO2 (cooled by glycol) This means R290 only circulates in the machine room where it is condensed with water cooled by a dry cooler but one shouldn’t be scared of it,” said Rodrigues “It just requires knowledge The cooling cycle takes place in a sealed box in order to prevent leakage and reduce the amount of propane needed for cooling to the “lowest amount possible,” 1.90kg (4.19lbs) per box each with a cooling capacity of 23.2kW (6.6TR) Each box includes an R290 chiller that cools glycol to -3℃ (26.6℉) and six subcritical CO2 compressors for low temperature cases with the CO2 having an evaporating temperature of -26℃ (-14.8℉) and the low temperature cabinets being cooled to -18℃ (-0.4℉).  The EcoP boxes also come in 11.63kW (3.3TR) and 34.88kW (9.9TR) models each box includes an air extraction mechanism to maintain negative air pressure in the box in case of a leak Want to find out more, or have something to say about this story? Join the ATMO Connect network to meet and engage with like-minded stakeholders in the clean cooling and natural refrigerant arena There has been a critical error on this website Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.
