E-book Guide to Leak Testing for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (HVACR) Systems

The newly released INFICON e-book, “Leak Testing for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (HVACR) Systems,” is designed to help manufacturers identify the right method to successfully test systems and components for leaks. The e-book can be downloaded, free of charge, at https://www.inficon.com/en/markets/air-conditioning/e-book/

Part One

Part One of the e-book explains the fundamentals of leak testing and describes the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods for leak testing and leak locating: from bubble test and pressure decay to accumulation method and sniffer leak detection. Also the most common tracer gases – helium, hydrogen (forming gas) are introduced.

Part Two

Part Two of the e-book describes the increasing demands for environmental sustainability and efficient use of energy and explains the specific challenges associated with the testing of refrigeration, air conditioning and heating systems.

Additionally, the top ten common errors in leak testing are explained in detail. Common errors include contamination of the test piece, ignored temperature or pressure influences during testing, and underestimation of stringer and gross leaks.
