Why does a cold store ice up?

Icing is a trace of moisture from outside, not a fault. Once you work out how much water each kilogram of incoming air carries, the amount and the place of the ice can be measured.

GWP 3922: what one kilo of refrigerant costs in carbon

R-404A has a global warming potential of 3922: one leaked kilogram counts as about 3.9 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. In Turkey, for a refrigerated vehicle unit, that means registration and leak checks from roughly 1.3 kg of charge.

How long an EPS box lasts and how many uses it gives

An EPS box has no fixed number of uses; the test is whether it can be cleaned and is dry on every return. How moisture changes insulation, what sets the life of a box, and how to measure the real number of trips.
