The NEWS was very busy at the AHR Expo in New York City, visiting as many booths as possible in search of new products. Below is a comprehensive list of all the testing and monitoring products we found on the show floor.
The detector’s features include the lifespan of its proprietary semiconductor sensor — more than 300 hours of operation or 10 years normal use — and sensitivities of 0.05 ounce/year (1.4 g/year) to R-134a and R-22, 0.025 ounce/year (0.7g/year).
Refrigerant leak detector Model 316-3 is a hand-held detector that delivers optimal sensitivity to all refrigerants, detecting leaks as small as 0.15 oz/year. The detector is resistant to contaminants such as dust, dirt, and oil, the company said.
Compact and lightweight, the Optimax™ 400 is a cordless, true UV LED leak detection flashlight that emits less visible light so refrigerant leaks are clearer and easier to spot, saving valuable inspection time, said the company. It features a high-output UV LED that causes dyes to fluoresce more brilliantly.
Weighing 11 pounds, the MiniTest 300 portable vacuum leak detector is excellently suited for mobile leak detection and is the ideal companion for on-site service calls, said the company. The device detects with a quartz window sensor, not a mass spectrometer.
Model 7899 Gas Sniffer is a portable, rugged, and easy-to-use leak detection tool. The device is equipped with a highly sensitive tip to pinpoint small leaks of any combustible gases and hydrocarbons, such as natural gas, methane, propane, butane, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from piping and/or appliances.
Refrigerant leak detectors Model Leak-Seeker® I and Leak-Seeker® II both offer the E_MOS® detection technology (patent pending). The E_MOS® sensor technology incorporates a proprietary pulse modulation design to increase both battery and sensor life.
Tool policies should be reviewed at least annually to confirm that contractors and technicians are both satisfied with the arrangement, as well as to ensure that everyone is clear on who provides which tools and what the rules are for broken, lost, or stolen tools.
