As a professional HVAC provider in Cork, jilveta operates under the strict environmental guidelines of the EU F-Gas Regulation (No 517/2014). This page outlines the technical and legal requirements for the handling of fluorinated greenhouse gases used in modern air conditioning units.
Refrigerant Management and Leak Detection Alex Lee Whelton ensures that every installation at 82 Upper Friars Rd and throughout Cork utilizes high-efficiency refrigerants with the lowest possible Global Warming Potential (GWP).
- Hermetic Integrity: All systems are pressure-tested using oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) to verify the hermetic seal of the copper pipework before any refrigerant is introduced.
- Statutory Leak Checks: For systems exceeding specific CO2 equivalent thresholds, we provide mandatory annual leak detection services and update the building’s F-Gas logbook accordingly.
- Recovery and Disposal: At the end of a unit’s lifecycle, jilveta provides a professional recovery service. We ensure that refrigerants are reclaimed and disposed of at authorized Irish hazardous waste facilities, preventing atmospheric release.
Thermal Efficiency and System Calibration Our technical approach focuses on maximizing the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). We perform precise thermal load calculations to ensure that the unit is correctly sized for the space, preventing “short-cycling” which increases energy consumption and mechanical wear. By choosing jilveta, you are investing in a system that is technically optimized for the Irish climate while remaining in full compliance with the highest European environmental standards.
