DENSO launches free A/C webinars
Published: 11 June, 2020
DENSO has launched a series of free air conditioning and thermal management webinars online. The online training sessions will provide hands-on tips, ahead of the busy A/C season.
In the webinars, DENSO’s Richard Groot will cover all aspects of air conditioning and thermal management systems, including common failures, with the intention of arming technicians with the necessary information to improve best practice techniques, ensure accurate diagnosis and learn about the latest technological and environmental innovations. Participants will be able to take part in a Q&A.
Fatiha Laauich, DENSO Europe Pan European Strategic Marketing Manager, said: “Webinars have become an integral part of DENSO’s training strategy to keep sharing information, tips and developing the skills of UK garages in these difficult times.”
She added: “We are particularly excited about our offering to online attendees with Richard Groot representing us. He is a specialist in his field, and I am sure delegates will be glued to his every word, as he aims to improve understanding and futureproof workshops.”
The upcoming webinars are free and available to book online on www.denso-am.co.uk

- Right oil for the job
Denso's air conditioning range has been boosted by 29 new compressor references this month. The update covers applications for BMW 1, 3, 5, 7 Series and X5, Jeep Cherokee, Mercedes M-Class and S-Class, Toyota Yaris, RAV4, Land Cruiser and more. All of the references are OE quality. The programme now stands at 479 air con parts for 2,650 applications and include reciprocal, rotary and electrical types. All units are new, filled with the correct amount of oil and supplied as complete assemblies. Its thermal systems range also includes receiver driers, pressure switches, expansion valves and evaporators have also been added to the inventory this year. Engine cooling parts include radiators, oil coolers, heater cores, condensers, intercoolers, cooling fans and cabin blower fans. Denso spokesman Martin Pring says it's essential to use the right compressor oil: "Primarily to lubricate moving parts, i.e. the compressor and the expansion valve needle. It also enables heat to escape from the compressor. Insufficient lubrication due to universal oil is the second most frequent reason for DENSO A/C compressor damage and failure."
