ELECTRONIC LOGGING AND REPORTING SYSTEM

EU regulation 517/2014 with different implementations


2

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


9

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


10

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).

Certifikates in Slovakia

› We offer logging software LeakLog to certified companies free of charge

› Data is reported on our web site

› We summarise, generate statistics methodology according to IPCC 2006

› and issue certificates according to Reg. 517/2014 and 2015/2067

This paper is based on the activities of Slovak association for Cooling and Air-conditioning Technology started in 2003. The electronically led documentation has developed from the previous paper form. Evaluated data

were collected from the service organizations in the Slovak Republic
