Frequently asked questions

Helium leak detection uses helium as a tracer gas to find leaks in a sealed assembly before it ships. Helium molecules are small enough to escape through defects other methods miss, and the detector picks up even very small traces. Our systems span the full process, from pre-assembly leak detection through vacuum evacuation and refrigerant injection to final functional testing that confirms every unit is ready.

Helium is expensive and supply is unpredictable, so venting it after every test sends money out of the building. Recovery systems capture the helium used during testing and return it for reuse instead of releasing it, which cuts both consumption and waste. For high-volume production lines that test every unit, the saving compounds quickly.

Anywhere a sealed cooling circuit is filled in production: residential refrigerators, water dispensers, commercial freezers, and automotive air conditioning units. We support flammable refrigerants, including the hydrocarbons R600, R170 and R290 as well as R32, with automatic evacuation and charging systems, transfer pumps and vacuum technologies.
