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.

• 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
• Uses 2 D batteries
