Have you ever wondered how your service technician knows when your HVAC system has a leak in it. Well, the picture above shows you the type of equipment we use to detect a leak and the information below will help you understand.
Refrigerant leak detector Model 316-3 is a hand-held detector that delivers optimal sensitivity to all refrigerants, detecting leaks as small as 0.15 oz/year. The detector is resistant to contaminants such as dust, dirt, and oil, according to the manufacturer. The product features a heated diode sensor, easy one-button operation, LEDs which illuminate progressively to show leak size, and an audible alarm. The high/low sensitivity adjustment feature allows a user to decrease sensitivity to pinpoint leak sources. The 316-3 also features an automatic background adjustment, or zeroing, to compensate for refrigerant buildup.
Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems).For more information about Indoor Air Quality and other HVAC topics,click here to visit our website
