A/C Refrigerant System, Checking For Leaks

A/C Refrigerant System, Checking for Leaks







Use halogen leak detector, Hitec HI400A-TEL or equivalent, to check for refrigerant leaks, following the leak detector manufacturers instructions.

Refrigerant gas dissipates very quickly. To make the job easier, avoid drafty or windy areas when checking for leaks.

If the refrigerant system is discharged (empty), recharge the system with approximately 100 g (3.5 oz.) of refrigerant in order to check for leaks.
