The air-conditioning expert WAECO warns about using forming gas for leak |
Due to compressor damage, which has been occurring with increasing frequency for some time, the air-conditioning experts WAECO are issuing an urgent warning about using forming gas for detecting leaks in vehicle air-conditioning systems. One of the many drawbacks of the forming gas leak detection method, which is of little use in practice, is that it does not indicate leakage at normal operating pressures or leakage due to vibrations, and more often than not the cause of a known leak cannot be identified. Compressor damage is the inevitable consequence. As a preventative method, leak detection using UV additives has instead been proven to provide the best results. This is pointed out by the lead developer, Franz-Josef Esch.
