F-GAS Leak Detection

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Optimise System Efficiency

Minimise Environmental Consequences

The proliferation of HVAC-R systems has been accompanied by a growing concern regarding the release of synthetic refrigerants, predominantly hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs), collectively known as F-Gases.

These substances exhibit significantly higher global warming potentials (GWPs) compared to traditional refrigerants and carbon dioxide, thereby posing a substantial threat to climate change mitigation efforts.

F-GAS Regulation Controls

We specialise in the supply, maintenance, repairs, and certification of refrigeration plant for businesses and organisations across Ireland. Our clients include manufacturers, hospitals, food processing businesses, and commercial premises.

We work with all types of HVAC-R equipment such as air conditioning units and heat pumps; air ventilation units; chillers and coolers; walk-in freezers and refrigerated display cases; evaporators and condensers.

Our Services

Diagnostics and Repairs

Our team will find the source of the leak/discharge and recommend the necessary repairs or replacements.

Defunct equipment disposal

Defunct F-GAS equipment must be disposed of in a safe and compliant way by a qualified engineer.

Registration and certification

We will assess and certify the install and ensure that all refrigeration equipment is properly tagged.

We supply and install electronic leak detection devices

The advantages of installing leak detecting devices are to catch leaks in team: reducing the amount of refrigerant gas lost, protect the environment, cut down on costs of replacement refrigerant to be added, and reduce energy costs through increased operational efficiency.

Our systems will inform the client how frequently a leak check must be performed based on the quantity and type of refrigerant gas used per machine.

Gas detection for commercial refrigeration

Designed specifically for food retail applications, including supermarkets, process refrigeration plants, and refrigerated storage and warehousing, these sensors offer exceptional performance and reliability. With our gas sensor products, you can ensure the safety and efficiency of your commercial refrigeration systems through advanced gas detection capabilities.

Gas detection for industrial refrigeration

These detectors are built on a digital platform, providing multiple communication and integration options. By leveraging this advanced technology, we offer improved operational reliability, easy calibration, and maintenance efficiency. Our gas detectors are not only cost-effective but also ensure regulatory compliance, enhancing the safety and reliability of the gas monitors in your industrial refrigeration systems.

The importance of early detection

Timely detection of minor leaks allows for prompt repair, preventing substantial refrigerant loss and minimizing environmental and safety impacts.

Early identification of potential leak points can prevent more significant system malfunctions and extend the operational lifespan of the equipment.

Regular leak checks, as mandated by F-Gas regulations for systems exceeding specified charge sizes, are essential for avoiding penalties and demonstrating environmental stewardship.
