What is an F Gas engineer?
What is an f-gas qualified engineer? An f-gas qualification and certification enables air conditioning and refrigeration engineers to meet legal requirements required to work with fluorinated greenhouse gases, known as F-Gases.
What does F stand for in F-Gas?
Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are man-made gases used in a range of industrial applications. F-gases are often used as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances because they do not damage the atmospheric ozone layer.
How does F-Gas work?
These properties are integral to the process which cools air for both refrigeration and in air conditioning. In basic terms, F gases undergo a cycle involving compression, condensing and evaporation. This results in cooling which is utilised in both refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
