Features & Applications:

The Inficon Tek-Mate Refrigerant Leak Detector is a gas detector that features proven D-TEK™ heated diode sensor technology that locates leaks fast and reliably. The gas detector is comprised of an electrochemical sensor consisting of a ceramic substrate, doped with a reactive element, and maintained at high temperature by a built-in heating element. Careful selection and application of the ceramic permits the INFICON sensor to provide similar responses to CFCs (such as R11 and R12), HCFCs (such as R22 and R123), HFCs (such as R134a) as well as replacement blends (such as R404A and R410A) so that it is not necessary for the operator to determine the refrigerant in use, or remember to set a selector switch.

The electrochemical sensor works when a halogen-bearing gas contacts with the hot surface, the chlorine, fluorine, or bromine atoms are separated from the molecule and ionized. This causes an electrical current to flow within the ceramic to a collection electrode at the center. Furthermore, when searching for HFCs, the instrument does not have an exaggerated response to traces of chlorine-bearing vapors which are frequently present.

Features:
  • 0.4 oz./yr. sensitivity to CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs
  • Automatically compensates for changing background contamination
  • Variable intensity audible signal and single flashing LED help locate leaks fast

        Comments about Inficon Tek-Mate Refrigerant Leak Detector:

        Tested known R-134A leaks on three diferent vehicles and it didn't detect any of them. I am very disapointed. Just a waste of money.

          Comments about Inficon Tek-Mate Refrigerant Leak Detector:

          This is the second Inficon leak detector I've owned. Most electronic detectors are notoriously
          unreliable and are high maintenance. We've owned five different brands, and none lasted more than two years without major repair. But we got
          almost three years out of our first Inficon.
          We've used the new one about a month and it has
          worked as advertised. It seems that the battery
          and recharger is what drives up the price of these units. Ours just runs on flashlight batteries, since we only used it about three days a week.
