R22 Refrigerant

R22 refrigerant is used considerably within any air conditioning system. R22 refrigerant has been used for many years, however it contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer. This has caused the government to put restrictions in place to phase out its use as more efficient and less damaging refrigerants have been introduced. Click on the following link for more information. http://www.aircontrol.co.uk/index.php?webpage=what_is_r22.html

F Gas Regulations

F Gases (or Fluorinated Gases) contribute to global warming; now legislations have been put in place to ban the use of these gases in your refrigeration systems. This move was made by the government to reduce emissions of these gases into the atmosphere. This means, that as air conditioning maintenance and installation company; we are required to follow these main points in the new law:

·        Regular leakage checks and prevention

·        Refrigerant records

·        Equipment labelling

Mitsubishi Launches ‘Reduced Refrigerant’ VRF System

Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new AC unit that uses less refrigerant than traditional VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems whilst providing simultaneous heating and cooling in a simplified two-pipe design, according to the company. The HVRF system operates without using refrigerant in occupied spaces, removing the need for leak detection equipment and allowing more properties to take advantage of manageable phased installation through the system’s modular design.

China Denies Air-Con Switch-Off In World Final

Chinese organisers have denied switching off the air-cooling system during the world men's singles final after complaints that a sudden change in   may have influenced the match's outcome, officials said Thursday. The stadium air-conditioning "was not turned off at any time during the finals", a Badminton World Federation (BWF) statement said, contradicting witness reports that the cooler went off during Sunday's men's world championships title match and came back on afterwards.

Midea Receives European Certification for R32 and R290 Products

With increasing interest amongst air conditioning manufacturers in the "mildly flammable" refrigerant R32, Chinese manufacturer Midea has received TUV approval for both R32 and R290 (propane) products. The approval from the German certification body covers the EC Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive. The successful certification of the products for the European market means that Midea's eco-friendly refrigerant technology now reaches international standards. http://www.acr-news.com/news/news.asp?id=3270&title=Midea+receives+European+certification+for+R32+and+R290+products

How Air Conditioning Works?

Have you ever wondered how an air conditioning system works? Here is a brief description of how they help make hot weather bearable. Air conditioning systems use some form of refrigerant to cool indoor air and they take advantage of a remarkable physical law. This is called the 'Phase Conversion Law' and it is when a liquid converts to a gas it absorbs heat. Air conditioning systems exploit this feature of conversion by forcing special chemical compounds to evaporate and condense constantly in a closed system of coils. Find out more about how air conditioning systems work at http://home.howstuffworks.com/ac1.htm

ECA = Tax Saving

The Carbon Trust in association with the Government introduced the ECA scheme (Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme) allowing companies who choose to install energy efficient equipment to offset the whole of its capital cost on qualifying equipment, against its taxable profits. The Capital cost includes for all associated work including labour, building works etc.
Many of the latest air conditioning systems incorporate both energy efficient heat pump and inverter technologies, and therefore qualify for the ECA scheme. If you would like to find out more visit us online at http://www.aircontrol.co.uk/

Inverter Technology = Electrical Load Fluctuation

Inverter systems have compressors that vary their capacity depending on what is actually required. When you need more heating or cooling, the inverter compressor speeds up, when you need less it slows down, rarely stopping completely and therefore draws a smaller electrical load. Industry experts suggest that inverter systems can save up to 40% on running costs compared to a non-inverter system. With Non-Inverters, the compressor starts at full power; when temperature is reached, the compressor stops. The cycle is then repeated throughout use, drawing more electrical current.
Most systems are registered on the energy technology list which enables clients to qualify for up to 100% first year allowance on the total cost of the system www.eca.gov.uk.
What is VRV or VRF?

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are an integral part of air conditioning technology. Heat pumps transfer heat from one environment to another via its refrigerant. In cooling mode, air conditioning units transfer the heat in an enclosed area to the outside air, resulting in a cooling of the area in question. Heat pumps, however, also allow this process to be reversed. Heat extracted from the outside is pumped indoors, allowing indoor environments to be heated as well as cooled using the same technology.

F Gas Regulations & Leakage Checking/Repair

Leakage checking/repair
End users will be required to use all available measures to prevent leakage of F-gases and to repair any detected leakage (as soon as possible); a system found to have a leak must be switched off immediately and not used until the problem has been rectified. Any repair must be re-checked for leakage within one month. The Regulation also provides a timetable for leak testing equipment and systems with a charge of 3kg or more:

• At least once a year for applications containing 3kg or more of F-gases (this does not apply to hermetically sealed systems containing less than 6kg).
• At least once every six months for applications containing 30kg or more of F-gases.
• At least once every three months for applications containing 300kg or more of F-gases. In addition, these systems will be required to have permanent leak detection systems installed.

F-Gas Regulations

EU Legislation, F-Gas Regulation 842/2006, came into force in July 2007.
Below is a summary of the Regulation which details the responsibilities it imposes on us as the supplier and the end user.
F-gases (fluorinated gases) are global warming gases which have come under the spotlight of the EC's Kyoto Protocol targets. The basic objective of the new legislation is to reduce emissions of these global warming gases from air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. F-gases include all HFC Refrigerants, including R134a, R407c, R410a and R404a.
The main points of the new law include:

• Regular leakage checks and prevention
• Refrigerant records
• Equipment labelling
