Waste and product loss create drag on your systems, and most times the exact amounts are unknown. It makes good dollars and sense, therefore, to take a close look at actual numbers and how they tally up. With just a minute or two at your convenience, our new Impact Calculator makes this simple to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use the impact calculator?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, input the type of refrigerant that you use. (At Matelex, we do not emphasize distinctions between \u201cnatural\u201d and \u201csynthetic.\u201d If it leaks, we\u2019ll help you find it and fix it, regardless. And if it stays in your system without leaking, it hardly matters what it\u2019s made of in the first place, does it? Learn more about our indirect leak detection method<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you can input the size of your installation and the average price you\u2019re paying for refrigerant. Prices for various commercial refrigerants tie in with current industry rates and standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the data point you\u2019re going to need to input is your leak rate. HINT: leak rates average 25-30% for most installations. That means that, unfortunately, nearly one-third of the product you purchase can be chalked up as an immediate loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, inputting the number of sites will multiply the results. The algorithm will calculate how many pounds of CO2 that means the environment will have to absorb from your installations  per year.  As you scroll down, the Impact Calculator will display the amount of money in loss of refrigerant and what the pounds translate to in C02-equivalent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these inputs can be changed. With more sites, the impacts will increase. The same is true, of course, for higher leak rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
