New EPA Requirements for Automatic Leak Detection go into effect in 2025
Doing nothing about refrigerant leak detection is no longer an option, and time is running out. Reducing leak rates drives significant financial and sustainability benefits. Don’t miss the deadline to deploy ALD across your fleet and risk significant EPA fines.
“You’ve known that leak rates are a problem... now, the EPA has given you the opportunity to put this at the very top of your list.”
Predictive Refrigerant Loss Detection
Complies with EPA requirements for indirect Automatic Leak Detection (ALD) systems. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) lists Axiom Cloud as an ALD system.
Eliminates the requirement for quarterly manual leak checks
No new hardware required
Does not require receiver-level sensors or PPM refrigerant "sniffers"
Uses AI to identify system-level changes in performance trends that are leading indicators for a leak (primarily, 8+ indicators including superheat values, valve positions, component runtimes, enthalpy values, etc.)
Addresses the primary driver of scope 1 emissions: high refrigerant leak rates
Helps identify the locations of leaks to make onsite technicians more efficient
Software is refrigeration’s new best friend
Axiom’s Early Leak Detection module uses AI to identify system-level changes in performance trends that are leading indicators for a leak (primarily, 8 families of indicators including superheat values, valve positions, component runtimes, enthalpy values, etc.). Axiom does not require receiver-level sensors or PPM refrigerant "sniffers" to work, but these sensor values can be used in the model if the sensors are already installed, functioning properly, and calibrated.
Axiom helps identify and solve leaks prior to business losses
In this graph, leaks are typically found at point 7 when temperature alarms are triggered. This can lead to spoilage, downtime, and loss of sales. Axiom enables companies to catch leaks at stage 2 or 3, saving not only refrigerant costs, but potential outages.
Axiom can detect leaks anywhere in the refrigeration system, regardless of location. It can also help to isolate the location of leaks to specific cases, case groups, or racks (depending on the specific leak location).
