Mobile Air Conditioning Service Welshpool & Mid Wales

Car Van Motorhome Truck Tractor & Plant Air Conditioning Refrigerant Regas * Service * Repairs * Recharge

Air conditioning and Refrigeration FGas 2079 Cat 1 qualified engineer for specialist inspection and repair of air conditioning systems.

Fgas qualification

Fgas qualification is a statutory requirement (New Fgas Regulations No.517/2014 Article 10) for service engineers and companies recovering HFC refrigerants from vehicle or static air conditioning refrigeration systems containing fluorinated gases.

Refrigerant Leak Check Inspection

Air conditioning systems of specific capacities require periodic inspection checks to determine emissions of fluorinated gases and minimise leakage.
New Fgas Regulations No.517/2014
Statutory leak checks are required on equipment that contains over 5 tonnes Carbon Dioxide Equivalent Refrigerant ( See link).

HVAC Facilities include :

Road Transport Air Conditioning & Cooling

Mobile service for test inspection and repair of Car Van Motorhome HGV Commercial Bus and Coach Tractor and Plant air conditioning systems

Vehicle Air Conditioner component supply and fitting

Common causes of vehicle air conditioning breakdown include:
Loss of refrigerant due to a leak typically from pipework, O-rings, heat exchangers (Condenser and Evaporator), Compressor seals.
Electrical problems such as pressure switch,electromagnetic compressor clutch, fans or control module failure.
Aircon compressor failure
Thermal Expansion Valve
Ducting, Flaps, Vents, mechanical faults.

Vehicle Air conditioning system electronic diagnostic facility

We operate diagnostic equipment which will interrogate fault codes and serial data logged in vehicle air conditioning climate control systems on Cars Vans and Light Commercial Vehicles.
Computerised climate control may monitor operation of refrigerant pressure switches and air conditioning compressor.

Fault codes logged in vehicle climate control systems may prevent air conditioning system operation even after refrigerant recharge.

Air Conditioning System Leak Detection

Mobile service for Nitrogen pressure testing of automotive air conditioning and climate control systems

Other aircon leak detection methods include introduction of ultraviolet UV dye which illuminates under UV light, and use of electronic refrigerant detector.

Stay Cool in the Cab !

Farm machinery manufacturers specify increased glass areas in modern tractor and plant cabs to increase visibility,.
Unfortunately sunlight radiation on hot days during agricultural operations combined with engine temperatures and dusty conditions can make in cab conditions uncomfortable without working air conditioning.

Air Conditioning Systems - Description of operation

Air conditioning and refrigeration systems operate by transport of heat from the (indoor) evaporator heat exchanger to the condenser heat exchanger,
A compressor pumps refrigerant around the air conditioning system.
Heat from blown warm air is absorbed by the evaporator heat exchanger to chill air and reduce temperature providing a temperature controlled environment.
Refrigerant transfers heat to the condenser heat exchanger which loses heat to air blown across the outside condenser heat exchanger.

HGV Truck Air Conditioning

We have existing haulage fleet customers running Daf MAN Renault Scania and Volvo trucks in the Welshpool & Mid-Wales area and always welcome new customer enquiries.

Motorhome & Camper Van Air Conditioning

We come across a variety of air conditioning systems fitted to motorhomes and van conversions including oem factory fit and aftermarket roof mount systems.

Statutory Refrigerant Leak Checks

New Fgas regulations require statutory annual checks on systems of
Stationary equipment
Refrigerated trucks and trailers
containing above 5 tonnes Carbon Dioxide Equivalence.
To Calculate:
5000 divided by Refrigerant GWP = applicable capacity of system.
example: A system using R407c refrigerant which has 1774 gwp,
5000/1774 = 2.8, therefore if air conditioning system contains above 2.8 kg R407c then requires statutory annual leak test.

Air Conditioning Refrigerants

R134a

R134a (gwp1430) is a commonly used refrigerant in vehicle air conditioning systems and for transport cooling chiller systems on refrigerated vans.
Only FGAS qualified engineers may legally recover refrigerant from ac systems containg R134a.
We have facilities for recovery and regas of air conditioning and refrigeration systems using R134a refrigerant.

Statutory refrigerant leak checks at least every 12 months required on systems containing above 3.5 kg R134a (gwp1430 x 3.5= 5005 kg CO2 equivalence)

R410a

R410a (2088 gwp) is often used as a refrigerant in static and split air conditioning systems used to cool factories, shops, offices and homes.
R410a is also used in certain transport refrigeration applications.
Statutory leak checks at least every 12 months required on systems containing over 2.4 kg R410a (source: see link)
We have facilities to leak check, recover refrigerant and regas R410a systems.
