It is estimated that in 2005 as much as 769,000kg of HFC’s leaked from UK supermarket refrigeration units. Considering this does not include industrial refrigeration or air conditioning systems in office and residential buildings the total figure is likely to be many times that amount. It is clear then how important gas sensors are. (more…)

Leaking Refrigerant Gas Sensors in the UK
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Importance of gas leak detection with the use of refrigeration units.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 When we understand the gases used in the refrigeration process we begin to see the importance of gas leak detection where they are used. Typically refrigeration works by absorbing heat into a liquid or gas called a refrigerant and moving it with a pump somewhere else. Some gases and liquids have better heat absorbing properties than others. The gases most commonly used in refrigeration are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s) and other hydrocarbons such as methane. Ammonia is also sometimes used. (more…)
Ensuring gas saftey with adequate gas detection in the UK.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 Deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning have tripled in the UK over the last year according to the gas safety trust. It is clear then that adequate gas detection is not present in homes and buildings. While decreasing mortality rates is obviously the primary reason for implementing gas detection solutions there are other reasons to consider. (more…)
Keeping check on refrigerant leaks with a fixed gas detection system.
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 With proper maintenance refrigeration systems should be expected to last twenty years or more before needing to be replaced. However, that doesn’t mean a fixed gas detection system does not need to be in place. It can be easy to overlook a small discrepancy or to miss a loose fitting especially in a large commercial refrigeration facility. It need not be an oversight on the part of maintenance that causes a leak either. (more…)
