Checking Refrigerant Leaks

Electronic Leak Detector




The leak detector is a delicate device that detects small amounts of halogen.

In order to use the device properly, read the information provided to perform the specified maintenance and inspections.

If a gas leak is detected, proceed as follows:
1. Check the torque on the connection fitting and, if necessary, tighten to the proper torque, check for leakage with the leak detector.
2. If leakage continues even after the fitting has been retightened, discharge the refrigerant from the system, disconnect the fitting, and check the seat for damage.
Replace the fitting, even if the damage is slight.
3. Check compressor oil and add oil if required.
4. Charge the system and recheck for leaks. If no leaks are found, evacuate and charge the system.
