A-Gas unveils F-gas management app

GTO-smartphoneUK: Refrigerant supplier A-Gas has launched a free F-gas reporting and cylinder-tracking app.

Gas-Trak Online (GTO) is described as an indispensable tool designed to make the onerous task of reporting refrigerant usage simple.  

Free to download, GTO comes complete with a number of handy features to help users comply with this complex piece of legislation. It will allow engineers to cut down on paper use by producing electronic F-gas log books and reports at the touch of a button, saving time and money.

Also, you don’t need an internet connection – the information can be stored on your device and synchronised at your convenience.

Pointing out that the regulation has increased the need for engineers to understand the CO2 equivalent of refrigerants, A-Gas md John Ormerod said: “The app’s handy GWP calculator will calculate this for you. GTO will also store customer, site and asset information ready to create jobs – and provide information for leak checking.

“Whether it’s a new installation, a service call or a decommission, you can track your refrigerant usage by the cylinder, equipment and customer in GTO. The app is suitable for Apple and Android mobile devices and will help engineers meet the latest F-Gas Regulations which are changing the face of the cooling industry.”

GTO will keep a summary of your jobs and produce reports in line with the latest F-gas requirements.

For those requiring a more in-depth data analysis package, for a small subscription GTO offers the option of enhanced or customised reporting.
