LEAK
DETECTOR
SOLUTION
Fig. 52 – Bubble Leak Detection
You may use an electronic leak detector designed for specific
refrigerant to check for leaks. (See Fig. 51.) This unquestionably is
the most efficient and easiest method for checking leaks. There are
various types of electronic leak detectors. Check with manufacturer
of equipment for suitability. Generally speaking, they are portable,
lightweight, and consist of a box with several switches and a probe
or sniffer. Detector is turned on and probe is passed around all
fittings and connections in system. Leak is detected by either the
movement of a pointer on detector dial, a buzzing sound, or a light.
In all instances when a leak is found, system charge must be
recovered and leak repaired before final charging and operation.
After leak testing or leak is repaired, replace liquid line filter drier,
evacuate system, and recharge with correct refrigerant quantity.
