Leak Detection
Leaks of refrigerant can occur from pipe joins as a result of vibration, from ageing rubber hoses and ''''O'''' ring seals, as well as through the seal on the front of the compressor shaft.
Under EC Regulation 2037/2000 it is now against the law to simply add refrigerant to a leaking system or to "Top up", as the expression is known, before thoroughly examining the system, locating and remedying all known leaks before adding refrigerant.
Therefore Best Practice Procedures indicate that we find the source of the leak and replace or service the component as part of a re-gassing service described below.
Re-Gassing Service
If your sytem refrigerant requires re-charging we will carry out an initial test to find out why, by:
· Identifying the refrigerant used and oil
· Checking system and related components
· Via a recovery unit, recover any refrigerant
· Run a deep vacuum to remove any moisture
· Leak test with the use of Oxygen Free Nitrogen
· Charge with refrigerant as to manufacturers'''' requirements
· Best practice principles require that we would change the dryer or accumulator during the above
