XR2ACH
Project Overview
Challenge, solution and application examples: an overview of the XR2ACH immersive multiplayer learning environment for refrigeration and air-conditioning, with routes to training, didactics, evaluation and technology.
Challenge
Refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump technology is a "hidden champion": no refrigerator, no supermarket, no data center runs without cooling — and this industry is urgently needed to install and maintain the many millions of heat pumps to come. Yet it has a massive problem finding new talent, and currently and in the long term needs at least three times more skilled workers than are available today.
Solution
Four connected building blocks turn technical training into an accessible, realistic and sustainable learning experience.
02
Learning Together
Several learners can work on the same virtual system, discuss decisions and solve tasks collaboratively.
03
Across Many Devices
VR and AR headsets, smartphones and tablets enable location- and time-independent access.
04
Progress Tracking and Expansion
Interactions support learning progress analysis, while the platform remains expandable with new content.

Virtual Leak Detection
A realistic training flow links technical decision-making, systematic leak detection and direct feedback.
Realistic Training
Trainees identify the refrigerant, select the required method and locate virtual leaks.
Digital Twin
The virtual system mirrors the physical equipment used in training and examinations.
Direct Feedback
After every run, learners receive a structured evaluation.
XR2ACH in Use
The learning environment is developed together with apprentices, trainers and partners.
