Amendments to the F Gas Directive
1st June 2014
The F gas directive which was first introduced into the UK in July 2007 has recently been amended by the European parliament. The original objective of the directive was to contain, prevent and thereby reduce the emission of F gases as outlined in the Kyoto protocol. The changes introduced will have a dramatic effect on the refrigeration industry and the implications need to be understood by owners of HFC based refrigeration systems. The most immediate effect of the regulation is a change in the frequency of manual leak checks and a mandatory requirement for fixed position refrigerant leak detection on systems beyond a specific size from 1st January 2015.
CPC (UK) have issued a bulletin to explain the changes regarding manual leaks checking and fixed position refrigerant leak detection.
Full details of the directive can be obtained from the European commission website on climate change or the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry Board website

IR-em2 can now be used to monitor for refrigerant leaks in VRF based air-conditioning applications
12th May 2014
We are pleased to announce that our IR-em2 can now be used to monitor for refrigerant leaks in VRF based air-conditioning applications. A stainless steel face plate fitted over a standard electrical back box is used as the sampling point to extract air for analysis. The plate is available with/without audio visual alarm indication to warn occupants of a refrigerant leak. A bulletin has been issued to provide an overview of refrigerant detection in this sector entitled ‘Does your air conditioning system require refrigerant leak detection?’ In addition we have also released a new IR-em2 brochure specifically focused on the VRF air conditioning market.

CPC (UK) launch RD-em product range
1st May 2014
With the increasing popularity of VRF based air-conditioning systems in hotels, luxury apartments and offices the demand for refrigerant leak detection as required by EN378:2008 has increased.
CPC (UK) released the AD-em product in 2010 as a compact surface mount product to suit this market. From discussions with our customers we realised there was a requirement for a more compact and stylish flush mount product. As a result we have launched the RD-em product range which fits inside a single gang electrical back box. The product is available as standard with either a white plastic or stainless steel face plate. Where required we offer custom colour face plates to compliment the electrical fittings within the room.

Does your Air-Conditioning System require Refrigerant Leak Detection?
Air-conditioning in hotel bedrooms, offices and luxury residential properties is becoming increasingly popular with significant numbers of VRF systems being installed. In recent years the number of fan coil units connected to each condensing unit has increased and as a result so has the overall refrigerant system charge.
Currently all the VRF systems installed use HFC type refrigerants and if the gas leaks into the atmosphere can be hazardous to health and detrimental to the environment.
