REFRIGERANT LEAK TEST AND DETECTION - "NITROGEN SET"

Fine Scaled 1.0 Pressure Gauge

This precision gauge allows for accurate readings of testing pressure, enabling technicians to perform detailed diagnostics and ensure systems are correctly pressurized, which is crucial for leak testing and system integrity verification.

Spring-Loaded Pressure Reducing Valve

The inclusion of a spring-loaded valve ensures simple and safe handling by providing controlled pressure release and adjustment. This feature minimizes the risk of over-pressurization, enhancing safety during use.

Universal Connection for Large Bottles

The Nitrogen Set is designed with a versatile connection that accommodates nitrogen bottles of all sizes, providing flexibility and convenience for professionals who may need to connect different bottles based on the job's requirements.

950 cm³ Nitrogen Bottle Included

A complete set is provided, including a 950 cm³ nitrogen bottle, ensuring that HVAC technicians have everything they need to start working immediately without the need for additional purchases.

5/16″ SAE Adaptor

This adaptor is specifically included for connecting to R410 units, which are common in modern HVAC systems, particularly in residential and light commercial air conditioning units and heat pumps.

Bottle Adaptor for 950 cm³ Bottles

The set comes with a bottle adaptor designed for the included 950 cm³ nitrogen bottles, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection, which is essential for maintaining the purity and effectiveness of the nitrogen used in various HVAC tasks.

Ideal for Split Air-Conditioning Units and Heat Pumps

The Nitrogen Set is particularly suited for use with split air-conditioning units and heat pumps, providing the necessary tools and adaptability required for the precise and demanding nature of these systems' installation and maintenance.

Leak Testing

One of the most critical uses of the Nitrogen Set is for leak testing in HVAC systems. By pressurizing the system with nitrogen, technicians can identify leaks in pipes, joints, and components, ensuring the integrity of the system before it is charged with refrigerant. The fine-scaled pressure gauge allows for precise monitoring of the pressure to detect even the smallest leaks.

System Purging

Before charging a system with refrigerant, it's essential to purge it of air and moisture to prevent corrosion, freezing, and other issues. Nitrogen is used to flush out the system, providing a clean, dry environment that enhances the performance and longevity of the HVAC system.

Brazing and Soldering

During the brazing or soldering process, nitrogen is flowed through the piping to displace oxygen and prevent oxidation inside the pipes. This "sweeping" with nitrogen ensures clean, strong joints and prevents the formation of scale and other residues that can impede system efficiency and performance.

Pressure Testing

After repairs or installation, the Nitrogen Set is used for pressure testing to verify the system's strength and leak-tightness. The spring-loaded pressure reducing valve ensures safe handling during this process, allowing for controlled pressurization of the system.

Refrigerant Recovery

When servicing or decommissioning an HVAC system, the Nitrogen Set can be used to assist in the recovery of refrigerant. By pressurizing the system with nitrogen, technicians can safely and efficiently push the refrigerant out of the system for proper recovery and recycling.

Charging with Refrigerants

Although nitrogen itself is not a refrigerant, the Nitrogen Set plays a crucial role in preparing HVAC systems for refrigerant charging. After system testing and purging with nitrogen, the system is evacuated and then charged with the appropriate refrigerant.

Maintenance of Split Air-Conditioning Units and Heat Pumps

The Nitrogen Set is particularly useful for servicing split air-conditioning units and heat pumps, where precise pressure management and leak testing are crucial for optimal operation and efficiency.

Educational and Training Purposes

In educational settings, the Nitrogen Set is used to train aspiring HVAC technicians in proper system pressurization, leak detection, and maintenance practices, providing hands-on experience with professional-grade equipment.
