After the hugely successful FRIGAIR Expo 2015, this year’s upcoming show is getting a lot of attention as it prepares to show off the latest and greatest the HVAC&R suppliers have to offer.

The sold-out 2015 FRIGAIR Expo boasted 140 exhibitors, representing not only the local HVAC&R market, but also major international players. The show was hugely successful, drawing 4 470 visitors over the three show days. From early on in the expo, the stands were a hive of activity as exhibitors drew crowds in with everything from lucky draws to free gifts and coffee. As well as all the supplier events that took place in the evenings. Exhibitors really went the extra mile to reach their customers and the hard work paid off.

Taking place once every three years, this year’s show is selling out fast with about 90% of exhibition floor space already sold. Some of the most recent companies to sign up for FRIGAIR 2018 include Johnson Controls, Seeley International, A-Gag, ebm-papst, Imperial/Clivet, and Energy Partners. Even the local wholesalers like Eurocool, Metraclark and TecsaReco are on board. You can visit the website at www.frigairexpo.co.za to see a comprehensive list of all the exhibitors that have signed up so far.

Three ASHRAE speakers have also been confirmed for this calendar highlight. The three-hour-long short courses will be taking place at the FRIGAIR exhibition venue on the Wednesday and Thursday of the show. The topics are ‘Designing and Operating High-Performing Healthcare HVAC Systems’, ‘Basics of High-Performance Building Design’, and ‘Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems: Design and Application’. Bookings are essential as space is limited. Costs are (per course): R1 200 (including VAT) for SAIRAC/ASHRAE members and R1 750 (including VAT) for non-members.

FRIGAIR 2018 will take place 6–8 June 2018 at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. The Expo will draw industry professionals from all levels, including consulting engineers, contractors, architects, developers, government officials and many more.
