How to Measure Refrigerant Leak Emissions

Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1

    Maintain inventory of all refrigeration equipment

  2. 2

    Record refrigerant type and GWP

  3. 3

    Track top-ups (indicates leaks)

  4. 4

    Calculate emissions: kg leaked × GWP

  5. 5

    Consider leak detection and repair programmes

Key Formulas

kg Refrigerant × GWP = kg CO2eR410A GWP: 2088R134A GWP: 1430

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not tracking top-ups
  • Using wrong GWP for refrigerant type
  • Missing small portable units
  • Not converting kg to tonnes CO2e

Tools & Resources

  • Maintenance records
  • Refrigerant log
  • F-gas register
  • Engineer reports
