General Background
• Supermarket sector in Argentina has consistentlygrown and future growth is expected
• Preventive maintenance of refrigeration systems isnot always performed by well trained staff
• Refrigerant leaks are high and growing.
![Page 3: Obras Hidráulicas Provision of technical services and monitoring...Obras Hidráulicas Portezuelo del Viento Provision of technical services and monitoring equipment for refrigerant](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071516/6138cafb0ad5d20676497a63/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Objective
To reduce refrigerant leaks, measure cooling energy consumption and check the impact on energy efficiency and refrigerant
consumption of the interventions introduced, to demonstrate the importance of good preventive maintenance practices
![Page 4: Obras Hidráulicas Provision of technical services and monitoring...Obras Hidráulicas Portezuelo del Viento Provision of technical services and monitoring equipment for refrigerant](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071516/6138cafb0ad5d20676497a63/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Leak prevention is crucial not only for directenvironmental benefits but also for reduction ofenergy consumption.
• Since these issues are not carefully addressed bymost companies, their owners and the companymanagement are not aware neither of theenvironmental nor the economical impacts

Benefits expected
• Environment: Minimize ODS and green-house gasemissions to reduce the footprint of refrigerationsystems in the selected supermarkets.
• End User: Cost savings in the operation ofsupermarkets, by the reduction of refrigerant andenergy consumption
