F-Gas Solutions 2.1.3

"F-Gas Solutions," developed by Climalife, is an informative application designed for professionals navigating European Regulation (EU) 2024/573, commonly referred to as "F-Gas III," which took effect on March 11, 2024, concerning fluorinated greenhouse gases.

This application provides several valuable tools:

• A load calculator to determine the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of process fluids (refrigerants, hydrocarbons, gas) utilized in equipment and calculate the equivalent CO2 load. These metrics are vital for F-Gas compliance, notably for the compulsory labeling of the charge on equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases.
• A leak detection module to advise on the necessary frequency of leak detection checks based on the type of process fluid employed. Leak inspections are mandatory for refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pump, and electrical switching equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases.
• A "Climalife Certified F-Gas Solutions" module to provide insights into the range of process fluids on the market and recommend optimal solutions for new and existing equipment in alignment with F-Gas regulations.

By selecting the relevant application type (Air Conditioning, Heat Pumps, Domestic Refrigeration, Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration, Transport/Automotive, Fire Protection, Foams, Aerosols, and Electrical Switches) or equipment status (new or existing), users will discover tailored solutions to meet their requirements.

The application encompasses a variety of process fluids including:
