Product Description

The Tek-Mate is an extremely reliable and affordable portable leak refrigerant leak detector. It makes pinpointing the source of refrigerant leak easy and hassle free.

This unit features a soft touch operational pad which allows the user to easily control the unit from one central point, including turning the unit on and off; and selecting the High/Low detection level.

The Tek-Mate refrigerant leak detector uses an electrochemical sensor which is resistant to dirt, water, oil and other contaminants. This sensor consists of a ceramic substrate, with a reactive element and maintained at a high temperature by a built in heating element.

When a halogen bearing gas contacts the hot surface, the chlorine, fluorine or bromine atoms are separated from the molecule and ionised. This causes an electrical current to flow within the ceramic substrate to a collection electrode at the centre.

Careful selection and application of the ceramic substrate permits the sensor to provide similar responses to CFC’s (such as R404a and R12), HCFC’s (such as R22 and R123), HFC’s (such as R134a) and SF6 as well as replacement blends (such as R404a and R410a), so that the operator need not determine the refrigerant in use or remember to set a selector switch.

Futhermore, when searching for HFC’s the instrument does not have an exaggerated response to traces of chlorine bearing vapours which are frequently present.

FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES

• Equal sensitivity to CFC’s, HCFC’s, HFC’s and SF6 eliminates resetting unit for different refrigerants
