New F gas RegulationArticles 6 and 20
› Article 6 Logging
› Article 20 Reporting
Article 6 Article 20
One systemArticles 6 and 20 according to F gas Regulation
› Certification according to EU Regulations – basic requirement:
› Company certification is an endless process
› Two administrative problems are solved:
– How to get inventory data
– How to update certificates
F gas Reg.
Article 6
F gas inventory
Article 20
› F gases are dangerous gases
› F gases can only be handled by certified companies
› Movement of F gases is closed among certified companies
› Customers can order services from certified companies only
› Company certificates have time-limited validity
› Updating of company certificates is based on reporting
Assumptions for a unified system
•For the F Gas regulation and inventory wehave developed
• Electronic Logbook (article 6)• Main outputs and chosen solution of logbook
• Electronic Reporting (article 20)
• Certificates updating and refrigerant inventory
Software Leaklog
Three ways
• Paper form
• Electronically on computers
• Electronically using RFID chips.
Records will provide data …
We should do summaries, analyses, ...
Article 6 – Electronic LogbookF gas and EPBD
Logbook software: Leaklogwww.szchkt.org
Provides quick overview, survey of–Customers,
–Cooling circuits
–Details of all maintenance work and repairs
–Leakage ratio–Refrigerants in store
–Refrigerants added, recovered, reclaimed, disposed of
•shall be recorded in the logbook according toEN 378 6.4.3.5 Logbook REGULATION (EC) No 1516/2007 article s 2,3:

Notified Bodyweb application started in 2009
When starting the development of web application the firstdecision was the choice of the system:
based on operators and cooling circuits
or
based on certified companies and personnel

Responsibility for refrigerants
1. Movement od refrigerants is closedamong certified companies
2. Customers order services only fromcertified person
3. Service keep logbook the best on PC and reports on web server

Responsible is operator
The system is based on assumptions that:
1. If a cooling circuit works correctly, less refrigerant leaks and cooling equipment breaks down less, its lifetime is longer
2. If a cooling circuit is regularly checked, leaks are detected on time and cooling equipment is energetically more efficient.
3. If a compressor works in standard conditions and there are no indicators of higher or lower pressure faults, tight and energetically efficient operation can be assumed.

Final output from logbook. Electronic way of recording data from refrigerant handling in stock enables summarizing and analysing important data on refrigerant movement in a chosen
period.
Main outputs from logbook
› Leaks per plant
› Leaks according to categories
red - was not doneyellow – should be done within the month
Data reportingfrom:
› Leaklog to the website
› Or directly on the website
80 % of failures due to refrigerant chargeWe should sell energy efficiency
› Low refrigerant charge
› High refrigerant charge
› Software Leaklog shows leakage percentage of – the plant and
– according to category

In Slovakia was in evaluated cooling circuits lower amount of refrigerants as in Germany Final average percentage of leaks are very similar. Differences are up to 3 % according to refrigerants.
› Eliminating leakages above 40 %
› Then avarage leakage will be 1,6 %
Comparison of leaks evaluated by SZ CHKT and VDKF (2012)
Reporting of F gases in products
› Reporting of importers, producers and exporters of refrigerant management in products:
– (extinguishing equipment, cooling and AC equipment, foams, transport cooling, mobile AC, heat pumps, equipment filled with SF6 and others)
› Note: Producers can fill refrigerants from certified companies into products (purchased in Slovakia or of their own import).
