As the regulatory landscape continues to shift around the commercial refrigeration industry, retailers and contractors are under increasing pressure to reduce — and even eliminate — refrigerant leaks. Do you know where in your facility leaks can occur and how you can use detection technologies more effectively? Join John Wallace from Emerson Climate Technologies as he discusses: what an effective leak detection program looks like and the benefits of putting such a program in place; an overview of the regulatory environment related to leak detection; and how to apply various leak detection technologies, including tips on interpreting results.
