However, leaks can be introduced into HVAC systems during manufacturing and assembly, and aging HVAC systems can develop leaks over time. Because many refrigerant leaks are small, they ... Read More

How to achieve accurate low leak rate testing: Adapting to new manufacturing standards in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry

Leak testing of pipe joints, tubes and fittings in refrigeration and air conditioning components such as coils and compressors during assembly manufacturing is critical. Tests must be accurate and reliable, or products could have serious problems for consumers in the field.  Recent changes to the ... Read More

Reliable, automated alternatives to dunk tank leak testing

Dunk testing remains a common leak test method due to its simplicity and relative affordability. This traditional approach, however, can be highly subjective and prone to error, leading manufacturers to look for ways to achieve a more objective and reliable leak test—but what’s the best method? ...
