Talkpool’s new LoRaWAN® Refrigerant Leak Detector approved for BREEAM In-Use

Talkpool has developed a new sensor that measures the R-32 refrigerant, in close cooperation with Revelop, one of Sweden’s most innovative real estate companies. The Talkpool sensor can be used to detect leakages in refrigeration- and cooling systems that use R-32 or any other hydrocarbon-based refrigerant. Revelop and Talkpool have installed an early version of the sensor and integrated it with a building management system as part of Revelop’s BREEAM In-Use certification program of their property portfolio.

The results are very positive, and the sensor has been approved for BREEAM In-Use. This means that in addition to the obvious health and safety benefits, the OY1220 LoRaWAN® refrigerant leak detector also supports a higher score related to BREEAM and similar property certification programs.

“I was looking for a refrigerant leak detection sensor but could not really find one on the market, so I turned to our partner Talkpool and asked if they can make one. They could and I’m very impressed by the functionality and how quickly Talkpool could make it happen. The OY1220 LoRaWAN Refrigerant leak detector is a valuable addition to the Talkpool sensor solutions we install in our buildings. It certainly fills a gap in the market and has a bright future both in Sweden and internationally.”, says Calle Henriksson, Technical & Facilities Manager at Revelop.

“We are honored to be a partner of Revelop and very proud of the results we have achieved together, making existing buildings more sustainable. Refrigerant leak detection is a large and growing market and Talkpool aims to grow a sizable market share. We are off to a very good start with our new LoRaWAN sensor being the first available and approved in the market.”, says Henrik Lindgren, Head of Sales at Talkpool.

The OY1220 LoRaWAN® Refrigerant leak detector can now be pre-ordered. The device will be available in large volumes starting November.
