Refrigerant leak detection is regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Refrigerant leak detection is a difficult task in some heating ventilation and air conditioning systems or refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Sometimes the most experienced technicians find difficulty discovering a leak, which may be hidden in a system component, in tubing or in an operating or safety control switch. Refrigerant leak detection is a hot topic, following the recently ...

Top 5 HVAC Maintenance Best Practices for Energy Savings
How closely are your facilities following HVACR best practices? Did you know HVAC is the largest energy end use in the non-residential sector and accounts for more than 40 percent of total energy use? Meanwhile, the U.S. EPA estimates that the national refrigerant leak rate is 25 percent, which means that facility managers are spending 25 percent more on electricity just to keeps HVACR units ...

Refrigerant leak creates environmental problems for businesses
A great concern for companies is a refrigerant leak in their refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) system or heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. That’s because gases that escape during a refrigerant leak pollute and damage the environment. To better monitor and maintain the operation of these business assets, many companies utilize a refrigerant management program.There ...

SF6 Gas Analysis: Ensuring Safety in Electrical Switchgear Operations
Electrical switchgear plays an indispensable role in the regulated distribution and management of electrical power in an array of environments, be it residential, commercial, or industrial. At the heart of these switchgear operations is the use of SF6 or sulphur hexafluoride, a highly potent greenhouse gas. Understanding the significance and roles of SF6 gas analysis becomes paramount in ...

Ammonia Vent Line Gas Detector
The LPT-A Vent Line Ammonia Transmitter (P/N: LPT-A-VLT-NH3-S) is designed for continuous monitoring of ammonia levels in the vent lines of refrigeration systems caused by equipment failure or system over pressurization. Slow leaks of refrigerant can be costly over time and a dangerous situation could present itself if a high pressure release were to occur. The VLT provides continuous, real-time ...

SF6 Leak Detection with Edinburgh Sensors
SF6 leak detection is vital for SF6 gas concentration monitoring during production, handling and use. As an incredibly potent greenhouse gas, it is important that SF6 leaks are found early to prevent excess gas escaping into the atmosphere. What is SF6? SF6, or sulfur hexafluoride, is a colourless, odorless synthetic gas first synthesised in France in 1900 by Henri Moissan. SF6 was found to be ...

Refrigerant leak detection is heavily regulated by government agencies
Refrigerant leak monitoring in refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC-R) equipment is very challenging, even for the most skilled HVAC-R technician. The leak could be well concealed from view in tubing, a system component, or in an operating or safety control component. With the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laws ...

How to better manage refrigerant gases in order to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs)
Carbon emissions reporting requires detailed monitoring record keeping of emission sources. Reducing a company's CO2 emissions has an impact on climate change. Carbon reporting needs to be approached in a structured organized way. Doing so in this way is known as carbon management. Carbon (CO2) Emissions Reporting: It's the law. In many countries, carbon emissions are required by law to ...
