With the new training suite, ICS Cool Energy aims to equip technicians and sales engineers with enhanced skills and practical expertise to excel in the field. The facility, also featuring a water treatment fluid laboratory, allows for hands-on, functional training that simulates real-life scenarios of how temperature control systems operate, ensuring optimal understanding and application of the equipment.

It enables us to test, prove, and train on our systems and solutions – in a safe environment – to find the most efficient and sustainable way of operating, servicing and adjusting equipment for optimal performance in different scenarios,” added Alistair Michie.
As new products and solutions are introduced to ICS Cool Energy offering, they will be incorporated into the training suite, making it future-proof and expansive.
