    Re: Flares .....?

    I just remembered another questionable area for fugitive emissions. Purgers on refrigeration systems.

    These do loose some refrigerant over a period of time, so if we say after 5 years some refrigerant has to be added, how do we tell the regulators where the refrigerant went, and that it is not a leak (for which they cannot fine you!).

    While Argus started this thread concerning flares, I think the main issue resulting from this discussion is how to evaluate the different areas within a refrigeration system for leaks based on risk.

    grizzley, we have to have a brazing ticket all ready and a electrical one over here, you can operate with just a refrigerant handling but if you had a accident or fire you would be in deep poo, just heard today that it may be back to school to get a MVQ2 qualification asswell.

    OBVIOUSLY our pallettes need retraining 37 yrs for me. Which "Tickets" in particular are you refering to?
    Wether we can braze or not will be irrelivant soon. Because if you read carefully the recent posts regarding "F Gas" regs. The general perseption from our trainers (UK) is that we, all engineers will have to
    attend a brazing course / assesment.
    Above is my referance to the same articles we have all been reading. As previously posted many of our trainers are stateing the above. Which by the way may be a 3yr renewable "ticket"
