Hungarian way, history

Registration of operators, monitoring the refrigeration circuits

• Neither operator, nor circuit registration – period until 2007• HRACA system since 2007, only circuits, and by certified

companies,• Pre-certified companies with certified personnel for leakage-

checking (orange card, 150 companies), • Labelling, minutes with data to be reported, (about 2500

equipment),

• Mandatory equipment (3 or more kg) registration system, since 2008 about 15-18t refrigeration circuits have been registered by the operators, at the authorities,

• And in the end 2009 start with the Body’s IT system!!

.

Start:

Equipment label

until 07.2009

by HRACA

.

Leakchecking label

until 07.2009

by HRACA

And now the Body’s IT system

Operators, refrigeration circuits

• registration circuit by circuit (no equipment, no application) , installed and putting into operation,

• very first registration by the operator: company data, sites, name of equipment, not more!!,

• appointing certified companies by the operator, as service partner(s), to register real data by circuits and make services needed

Operators, refrigeration circuits• LABEL – the only printable one• Mandatory minutes:

– leakage checking, after-repairs too!– use-recovering refrigerant– circuit-repair– control installed leakage checking equipment

• Ability of storage all other, additional documents needed – Leakage checking documentation (mandatory),– Minutes of putting into operation, commissioning, – Additional remarks, service documents, operational

manuals,..

• a proper, absolutely paperless e-logbook!!

Operators, refrigeration circuits

• Ready for data-evaluations, reporting,

• information source for public, body, authorities,

• Voluntary for less then 3(6) kgs installed and + MAC,

Results since ..

• The HMCB&IT operating started on the 6th of July 2009

• Since than a lot of corrections fluently, but it works

• 7800 HRACA registered/ 2300 interim/final certified persons

• 1800/1400 certified companies,

• Close 31.000 IT registered refrigeration circuits

Results since ..

• Some disturbing facts: governmental changes, economy low-flight, MSs’ certification-import, sleeping authorities, black market,…but

• Persons are on different opinion -preconditions, e-learning of the Fgas assesment,

• Certified companies are strongly interested in a proper working system, but some others… not

• Operators slowly realize the „need” of doing so and are happy,
