Refrigerant leak detection: insights from Austrian professionals and review of detection methods

https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/65850142287

Many low-GWP refrigerants used in heat pumps are flammable, so safe design, installation and operation are essential. This webinar presents new results from IEA HPT Project 64 on Safety with flammable refrigerants, including recent work on the causes of refrigerant leakage and on ways to detect leaks.

The webinar also introduces the project’s new State-of-the-Art report on leak detection, which will be presented alongside the webinar.
