REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTOR - REFRIGERATION

REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTOR - REFRIGERATION

  1. Refrigerant Detection Range: Detects a wide range of refrigerants used in commercial and industrial refrigeration, including: CFCs (e.g., R-12), HCFCs (e.g., R-22), HFCs (e.g., R-134a, R-404A, R-410A), HFOs (e.g., R-1234yf, R-1234ze)
  2. Natural refrigerants in some models (e.g., R-290, R-744 [CO₂])
  3. Sensor Technology: Infrared (IR) sensors: Ideal for high-accuracy, long-life performance with minimal false alarms. 
  4. Heated Diode sensors: Very sensitive and responsive for general-purpose leak detection. Some industrial units offer fixed monitoring for continuous leak detection.
  5. Sensitivity: High sensitivity to detect leaks as small as 0.10 oz/year or even 1 g/year, depending on the model. Crucial for minimizing refrigerant loss and meeting environmental compliance.
  6. Build Quality: Designed for harsh environments (cold rooms, compressor rooms, mechanical rooms). Durable construction for long-term use.
  7. Portability: Handheld models are lightweight and battery-powered. Fixed monitors are wall-mounted and integrated with alarm systems.
  8. Detection Alerts: Visual LED bar graphs, numeric LCD displays, and loud audible alarms.

  1. Helps pinpoint tiny leaks before they lead to major refrigerant loss or system failure.
  2. Reduces downtime and cost in 24/7 refrigeration environments.
  3. Reduces false positives from cleaning chemicals, oil fumes, or moisture.
  4. Access tight spots in racks, compressors, evaporators, and walk-ins.
  5. Helps meet EPA 608, CARB, and EU F-Gas compliance standards.
  6. Ready to use quickly in service calls or emergency response.
  7. Minimal training required for refrigeration technicians.
  8. Bacharach offers solutions like the Multi-Zone Leak Monitor or MGS-400 series for 24/7 surveillance.
