Leaks In Refrigerant Circuit, Finding Using Electronic Leak Detector V.A.G 1796

NOTE:
- Minor leaks can be detected using an electronic leak detector for example.
- Currents of air quickly disperse refrigerant gas. Draughts must therefore be avoided during leak detection.
- If the refrigerant circuit is completely empty, charge with about 100 g of refrigerant.

Leak detection:
- Start up leak detector in line with relevant operating instructions.
- Always hold test probe beneath suspected leak.







Depending on the model, leak detection is indicated by an increase in clicking rate or a warning tone (refer to operating instructions for leak detector).
