A COMPARISON OF REFRIGERANT CONSTANT MONITORING LEAK DETECTORS.

Author(s) : MCCLURE D., ANDERSON T.

Summary

MOST OF THE COMMON REFRIGERANTS CONTAIN CHLORINE AND ARE EASILY DETECTED IN THEIR ESCAPE TO THE ATMOSPHERE. NEW REFRIGERANTS (FOR EXAMPLE R123), ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND PROPOSED DROP-IN RETROFIT APPLICATIONS. WITH R123'S ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE LIMIT, 100 PPM, AND REFRIGERANT'S EXPENSE, THE COST OF INSTALLING A MONITORING SYSTEM MAY NOT ONLY BE ESSENTIAL ENVIRONMENTALLY BUT ECONOMICAL. THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE AVAILABLE MEANS OF PERMANENT REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTION.
