At a Glance
A-Gas was engaged by a digital infrastructure provider operating an edge data centre in London to support
the recovery of refrigerant and assist in the transition to a lower GWP solution.
The A-Gas Rapid Recovery team was contracted to recover a significant volume of R134a from four chillers
scheduled for decommissioning.
These units were being replaced as part of a retrofit project involving the installation of new cooling
equipment with a substantially lower GWP.
Challenges
Recovery of 1,745 kg of R134a from four decommissioned chillers. Need for high efficiency and minimal disruption in a sensitive data centre environment. Compliance with strict environmental and safety regulations.
Benefits
Successful recovery, avoiding 2,495 tons of CO₂e emissions. Full reclamation to AHRI 700 standards, enabling reuse and supporting circular economy goals. 1,745 kg of R134a recovered and reclaimed, equivalent to avoiding 2495 tons of CO₂e emissions.
