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.
