To help you track all refrigerant charges that take place in the charge history of your assets, we have built the Charge History report.
When a refrigerated asset receives a charge (the addition of refrigerants), it is required by both local and national laws that accurate records be kept. The requirement includes the type and quantity of refrigerants used, who made the charge, and more.
What is a Refrigerant Charge?
The asset charge is based on the system’s capacity and the amount of refrigerant added to it. You will encounter the following types of charges in ServiceChannel:

The Initial Charge of a refrigerated asset is the amount of refrigerant added to a system (to the Total Charge field) when the system goes into use. The Initial Charge checkbox gets automatically selected. Note that the unit of measurement for the initial charge depends on your company’s geographical location. Learn more about Capturing an Asset Initial Charge.

The Subsequent Charges of a refrigerated asset are the follow-up charges added to an asset and marked as new total charges.| Note |

Important. Do not confuse a part use with a total charge. - The part use is an addition or removal of the refrigerant from the asset in the event of a leak, repair services, or retrofit/retirement plans.
- The total charge is the total amount of the refrigerant that is contained in the system for the latter to operate.
