ACE Refrigeration is on site installing a new Cold Room for DFDS at their facility in Aberdeen.

DFDS Logistics Scotland offers a complete range of logistics solutions and is the largest provider of transportation services to the Scottish salmon and seafood industries.

The main warehouse facility is located in Larkhall, near Glasgow. This is supported by two satellite warehouses in Aberdeen and Boulogne Sur Mer, France providing Europe-wide distribution facilities.

ACE Refrigeration is installing a new Cold Room with a footprint of 312.66m² which will cool 6,000kg of produce, entering at +10°C, and pulled down within 12 hours, using refrigerant R407f.

Changes to F-Gas Regulations came into effect on 1st January 2015.

Here at ACE Refrigeration, we can always help you stay compliant with F-Gas regulations, either as part of our service and maintenance contracts, or by installing fixed leak detection units to your refrigeration plant.

Fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) gases are a family of chemicals that contain fluorine.

Most F-gases are very powerful greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming if emitted into the atmosphere.

HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons) are common F-gases found in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

The central element of these revised regulations is part of the phase down of HFC Refrigerants with a global warming potential (GWP) greater than 2500, with a complete ban on new equipment using these refrigerants effective from 2020 onwards.

However, recycled and reclaimed HFCs with greater than 2,500 GWP will still be allowed for servicing existing plants until 2030.

The previous classification confirming leak detection quantity per year based on refrigerant charge thresholds have now been replaced by a system based instead on carbon emissions per year.

All systems with a CO2 equivalent greater than 500 tonnes must have a fixed leak detection system installed.

But for any system with fixed leak detection installed, the quantity of leak tests required is reduced by 50%.
