Refrigerant-gas Leak Detector Digital With Pump And Probe

The General Tools RLD400 is the modern, electronic way to maintain mobile and stationary air conditioners, refrigerators, chillers and heat pumps. New proprietary semiconductor sensor detects many new ozone layer-friendly refrigerants approved under the U.S. EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Why look for refrigerant leaks? There are three reasons to detect and repair leaks of refrigerant gases from stationary and mobile air conditioners, refrigeration systems and heat pumps with General RLD400 Digital Refrigerant Leak Detector with Pump: 1. Leaks allow air and moisture to enter an A/C system or chiller. Moisture can react with refrigerant to form corrosive acids and sludge that can damage a compressor, plug up orifice tubes, and/or eat pinholes in evaporators and condensers. 2. Refrigerant is expensive. It may seem cheaper to keep recharging your system with refrigerant than fix a leak but it isn't in the long run. And A/C systems and chillers that aren't fully charged won't cool efficiently and thus waste money (electricity-powered systems) or fuel (vehicle systems). 3. Most refrigerants deplete the ozone layer that blocks the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
