When do refrigerant top-up records suggest a leak?

Match each top-up to an asset and service record. Repeated additions need the amount and repair history; they do not alone establish a leak rate.

How many days are left: estimating shelf life from temperature

The days on the label hold for one temperature only. If the product travelled at 8 °C instead of 4 °C, the days left change; here is the rough sum with Q10.

How long a crate lives: 120 trips, 12 years

In Fraunhofer's 2022 report a realistic figure for a plastic reusable crate is about 100 rotations and 10 years, and 120 rotations and 12 years is described for a well-run system. The number follows from the loss rate.

HDPE or PP: how crate material is chosen

HDPE stays ductile in the cold and PP melts at a higher temperature. The choice follows whether the crate lives in a frozen store or on a hot-wash line.
