The changing regulatory landscape continues to put the spotlight on refrigerant leak detection, monitoring and reporting.
To help the HVACR industry address these changes MSA Safety has a comprehensive range of products including Automatic Leak Detection (ALD) systems, Parasense Refrigerant Tracking & Compliance Software, and FieldServer Protocol Gateways.
The company’s global business leader for HVACR, Rob Senko, said with MSA Safety's expertise in automatic leak detection, combined with monitoring and reporting software, MSA can help customers with their compliance journey and deliver on their sustainability goals.
“Our innovative, turnkey solution that includes hardware, software and service is capable of detecting refrigerant leaks at the lowest levels, ultimately helping to reduce leaks more quickly and proactively,” he said.
“This not only helps customers drive better sustainability behaviours and practices, but also helps deliver real bottom-line impact, supporting our mission of safety by helping to safeguard people, places and our planet."
MSA Safety solutions include the MSA Bacharach® Multi-Zone Gas Monitor, and the Chillgard 5000 Refrigerant Leak Monitor.
Both are aspirated detection systems, meaning they pull air from strategically placed sample points into the unit where sensors measure the concentration of refrigerant in the air and trigger alerts if a leak is detected.
Both systems are capable of monitoring up to 16-zones for more than 60 different refrigerants and are capable of detecting leaks as low as 1 ppm – considered very early detection for the average leak rate.
With an increased industry focus on tracking refrigerant usage and regulatory compliance, MSA Safety provides Parasense Refrigerant Tracking & Compliance Software. This cloud-based software offers refrigerant management and tracking tools designed to help users reduce operating costs, understand and address their own compliance needs, and achieve sustainability and efficiency goals.
MSA's suite of FieldServer Protocol Gateways help customers with building automation and controls, refrigerant leak detection and data management.
These Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) gateways are secure, easy-to-configure devices that serve as entry points for data communication and processing between different HVACR products and network protocols to the cloud.
FieldServer Gateways are connectivity solutions supporting more than 140 protocols, including Modbus, BACnet, LonWorks and KNX.
MSA Safety has more than 5,000 staff in 40 countries.
