Refrigeration Charge History
All refrigerated assets, whether they are self-contained systems, connected to a rack or a rack have a charge history associated to them. This includes the initial charge and all subsequent charges. The charge for any asset is based on the system’s capacity and the amount of refrigerant added to it.
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, and who made the charge.
Note: If the service provider that enters the charge is not a member of your private network, you can add them manually. The ability to add service providers who are not a member of your private network adds an additional layer of flexibility and accountability.
Viewing the Charge Information on Assets
The Initial Charge of a refrigerated asset is the amount of refrigerant added to a system when the system goes into use. Capturing the initial charge of an asset, is required by law and is needed as a baseline when measuring the amounts/percentages of any additions or removals of refrigerants.
