Parasense Refrigerant Tracking and Compliance Software

Core Features

Parasense is built around the environmental and compliance consequences of refrigerant use. Its methodology is tied to tracking refrigerant transactions, equipment charge data, refrigerant type, Global Warming Potential values, and leak events so that organisations can understand both compliance exposure and emissions from refrigerant losses. Some of its main features are:

• Refrigerant Emissions Visibility – Tracks refrigerant usage and leak activity so organisations can identify where refrigerant losses are occurring and reduce emissions linked to HVAC-R and refrigeration systems.

• Automated Leak-Rate Calculations – Calculates leak rates from refrigerant service and transaction data, helping teams identify equipment that may require repair, follow-up inspection, or additional compliance action.

• GWP-Based Asset Records – Maintains equipment records that include refrigerant type, charge size, and Global Warming Potential, allowing refrigerant data to be interpreted in environmental as well as operational terms.

• Refrigerant Bank and Cylinder Tracking – Tracks stored refrigerant, cylinder movements, recoveries, and usage across sites or depots, supporting more accurate inventory control and audit-ready records.

• Compliance Reporting – Supports reporting and documentation for refrigerant-management requirements including EPA 608, CARB, F-Gas, and GreenChill, depending on jurisdiction and programme needs.

• Enterprise and Contractor Collaboration – Allows equipment owners, internal teams, and refrigeration contractors to work from shared records, reducing fragmented spreadsheets and improving the accuracy of refrigerant data.

Closing Insights

Parasense originated as a specialist refrigerant monitoring and leak-detection business before becoming part of Bacharach and, later, MSA Safety. The software addresses a practical records problem in refrigeration-heavy operations: refrigerant losses are often dispersed across service visits, cylinder movements, contractor entries, asset records, and compliance deadlines. Parasense brings those records into a structured system so that teams can calculate leak rates, understand refrigerant usage, and prepare compliance evidence without relying on fragmented spreadsheets.

MSA’s most relevant emissions-focused use case describes a large regional U.S. food retail chain with more than 400 stores that wanted to reduce refrigerant emissions below 10%, compared with an industry average leak rate of about 20–25%. MSA says it supported the customer with a connected hardware-and-software approach covering low-level leak detection, 24/7 remote monitoring, support, and portable leak detection for rapid repairs. A major integration is JLL’s addition of MSA Parasense Refrigerant Tracking and Compliance capabilities to Corrigo, creating Corrigo RTC. The integration allows users to track and report refrigerant transactions directly from a computerized maintenance management system, linking refrigerant compliance records more closely with day-to-day work orders and facilities maintenance workflows.
