Ultraviolet Refrigerant Leak Detector Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-RACLE-12765
Jlab Export is a leading Ultraviolet Refrigerant Leak Detector Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
This handheld refrigerant leak detector senses gas electronically, with a heated solid electrolyte sensor. It finds leaks as small as 0.03 oz (0.9 g) a year of R-22, warms up in 20 seconds or less and calibrates itself. It weighs 480 g or less and runs on a rechargeable Li-ion battery, and maintenance is limited to light cleaning.

Leak Detection Practicals and Method Comparisons
On a charged trainer, students switch the detector on, let it warm up and sweep the probe slowly along each joint. Teachers can loosen one flare nut slightly to set a small leak. Students find it with the detector and confirm it with Bubble Solution For Leak Detection.
The same leak can then be traced with the Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector, and with dye and the Rechargeable High Intensity LED UV Flashlight. Students compare how quickly each method finds the leak and how closely it points to the joint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this detector use UV light or dye?
No. It senses refrigerant gas directly with a heated solid electrolyte sensor, so no dye or lamp is needed. For dye tracing, use Standard Universal Ultraviolet A/C Dyes with a UV flashlight.
What do the sensitivity figures in grams per year mean?
Each figure is the smallest steady leak rate the detector can sense for that refrigerant, and a lower figure means a smaller leak. On this model R-22 gives the lowest figure, 0.9 g a year, and R-1234yf the highest, 4.3 g a year.
How long does the sensor last?
It gives over 300 hours of service with minimal cleaning and no adjustments. Heated sensors wear slowly while they are switched on, so turn the detector off between jobs to make those hours last.
How do I know the detector is working before a search?
After the warm-up, hold the probe tip close to a known small source and check that it alarms. A slightly loosened flare nut on a charged trainer will do. Then move back to clean air and let it settle. If it gives no response to a known leak, do not trust a clear result on the system.
Why can a draught make a leak hard to find?
Moving air carries the escaping gas away from the joint and thins it out, so the detector may react downstream of the leak or not at all. Switch off nearby fans, shield the area from wind and sweep slowly with the tip close to each joint. Most refrigerants sink, so check below joints as well.
