Available for commercial and industrial applications, this product supports safety compliance inside of machinery rooms, mechanical equipment rooms, chiller plants, cold storage facilities, and walk-in freezers by monitoring for refrigerant leaks for numerous gases including HFCs, HFOs, HCFCs, CO2, and ammonia (NH3)).
The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council recently presented a natural refrigerant seminar and live CO2 demo at the Danfoss headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland.
This product features Rapid Fusion Technology for a stronger bond and now has the ability to treat systems up to 10 tons in one application. It permanently seals leaks — even large ones — and is direct inject.
At the AHR Expo, RectorSeal LLC highlighted several new products designed to combat leaks and corrosion, both on the inside of the unit and from salty sea breezes on the coast.
At the AHR Expo, DiversiTech’s hilmor line offered three new service equipment products designed to make technicians’ lives easier. On the other side of the booth, DiversiTech highlighted several sealants and additives.
This product line now includes three new refrigeration leak sealants: AC Leak Freeze nano UV, AC Leak Freeze nano Mini-Split UV, and AC Leak Freeze nano Mini-Split. Using a patent-pending, quick-installing applicator, all three contain the same AC Leak Freeze formula and its nano particle sealing technology for nano-sized leaks, such as those caused by formicary corrosion.
The primary question being asked in the proposed rule, Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Revisions to the Refrigerant Management Program’s Extension to Substitutes, is whether or not the EPA has the authority to regulate anything beyond ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
Bob and Tim are at a job where a customer has damaged a refrigerant line on a heat pump. When they arrive, the line is still blowing a slight amount of vapor from the split in the line.
Bob and Tim are on a service call with an aggravated customer. The customer explained to them three different service companies had been out to her house this summer and all of them told her that she had a leak they could not find.
The EPA is revisiting the aspects of the 2016 Rule that apply to equipment containing substitute refrigerants. If finalized as proposed, the revised Refrigerant Management rule would rescind the leak repair and maintenance requirements for substitute refrigerants.
