The Benefits of Gas Leak DetectionEnvironmental Reasons:Reduce Your Carbon FootprintCompanies active in the refrigeration industry are measured upon the direct impact of CO2 emissions.Reducing your carbon footprint will not only have a positive effect on operating costs but will help theenvironment and can help enhance your market reputation.Maximise Energy EfficiencyRegular service & support, replacing inoperational equipment and manual leak detection provides substantialimprovements in efficiency.15% gas loss = 100% increase in energy consumptionRefrigerant LossRefrigerant leakage to the atmosphere can result in product loss, causing systems to operate inefficiently andis detrimental to the environment. Many refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases whilst others can causedepletion of the ozone layer therefore it is imperitive that your gas leak detection equipment identifies thesepossible leaks as quickly as possible.Mains4

Customer Benefits:Legislation ComplianceOur refrigerant leak detection systems provide an ideal and ready-made solution to comply with necessaryindustry legislation. Where possible, we can ensure compliance of F-Gas Regulations, EN378 and BREEAMaccreditation.Minimise CostsQuick identification of refrigerant gas leaks minimise the cost of having to replace lost (and increasingly moreexpensive) refrigerant gases.Personnel & Customer ProtectionLeaked refrigerant gases can be hazardous to health. In some cases they can put personnel and customers ina situation where their life could be in critical danger. The quick response of our products produce an alert toavoid danger at the earliest sign.rechargable5

Who we work withOur CustomersOur DistributorsLocation: Breda, NetherlandsTerritory: Netherlands, Belgiumand Luxemburg“Location: Lyon, FranceTerritory: France & North AfricaLocation: SingaporeTerritory: North and South East AsiaLocation: Melbourne, AustraliaTerritory: Australia & New Zealand“We are extremely pleased with the a1-cbiss gas leak detection system. It is both compact andeasy to install with a choice of 16, 24 or 32 sampling channels. It is extremely versatile withits ability to sample two different gases simultaneously from one sensor, utilising a vast list ofrefrigerant gas types. This makes it unique within its competition base.The door mounted user screen is clear and easy to configure, with step-by-step instructions tofollow. Another unique feature of the a1-cbiss gas leak detection system is the ability to configureeach of the 16 volt-free relays to be triggered from any single or multiple sampling channels.But the great advantage this system has over all of its rivals is the ability to connect via a localIP network to an RDM Data Manager (widely used world-wide for monitoring and controllingrefrigeration systems), giving the user/s the ability to configure it, monitor and report thecomplete gas detection system from both the RDM Data Manager and remotely via the internet.Colin BrownHead of Controls, NCS (Cumbria) LtdThe response and approach we have received from Karl and the team at a1-cbiss hasbeen extremely positive and showed real professionalism.”As a result, we lookforward to strengthening our relationship in the months ahead.Daniel ByrneActive Control Engineer, Marks & Spencer”11
