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

Minor leaks can be detected using an electronic leak detector or UV leak detector lamp for example.

NOTE:
- 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).
