Guidance on commercial refrigeration, air conditioning and F-Gas compliance — written by the engineers who work on these systems every day, not by a marketing department.
LatestR404A has been banned in new commercial refrigeration equipment since January 2020, and the service ban has bitten too. If you are still running plant that holds it, the question is whether to retrofit or replace — and that is best decided on the numbers, not after a breakdown.
Practical guidance and recent project write-ups from our engineers.
Mandatory leak check intervals are set by the CO₂ equivalent of the refrigerant charge, not the size of the plant. Here are the thresholds for R410A, R407C, R404A and R134a, how to work them out for any other gas, and how to calculate carbon loading for ISO 14001.
Air source pumps are an alternative way to heat your home, and could be the ideal solution if you want to generate your own heat and potentially save money on your energy bills.
