This video will demonstrate leak detection processes and how to quote refrigerant repairs accurately.

What You'll Learn

This tutorial demonstrates:

• Leak Assessment: Documenting refrigerant status and suspected leak locations
• Refrigerant Management: Configuring refrigerant type, quantity, and handling
• Automatic Scope Generation: How the system creates work scope based on your selections
• Testing Requirements: Pressure testing and leak detection procedures
• System Commissioning: Evacuation, recharge, and commissioning processes

Before You Start

Prerequisites:

• System with suspected refrigerant leak identified
• Refrigerant type and approximate system capacity known
• Initial leak assessment completed (visual inspection, low pressure, etc.)
• Customer expectations set regarding leak repair process

Recommended Reading:

• Repair Leak Field Reference - Complete field and options reference
• Quoting Basics - General quoting fundamentals

Step-by-Step Process

1. System Assessment

• Unit Type: Select system type with leak (Split, Ducted, Multi, etc.)
• Brand: Record equipment brand
• Model Number: Document model for refrigerant specifications

2. Leak Information Setup

• Refrigerant Remaining: Determine if system still contains refrigerant
• Suspected Component: Identify suspected leak location if known
• Refrigerant Type: Select R410A, R22, R32, or R407C
• Refrigerant Amount: Set precise quantity required for recharge

3. Repair Configuration

• Leak Seal: Choose whether leak seal is included in scope
• Testing Method: System automatically includes pressure testing and bubble method
• Recovery Requirements: Automatic scope inclusion if refrigerant remains in system

4. Labor Setup

• Time Allowance: Select appropriate time (0.5-8 hours in 30-minute increments)
• Number of Technicians: Single Men or Two Men based on system complexity
• Special Equipment: Add lifter or long ladder if required for access

5. Automatic Scope Review

• Generated Work Items: Review automatically created scope of works
• Pipe-Separated Format: System formats scope for professional presentation
• Testing Inclusion: Verify pressure testing and operation testing included

Common Repair Leak Scenarios

Scenario 1: Split System Leak - Location Unknown

• R410A refrigerant system with 1.5kg capacity
• Refrigerant recovery required
• Nitrogen test required
• 2-hour repair with leak seal if no leak found

Scenario 2: Ducted System Pipework Leak

• R22 system requiring 5.0kg recharge
• Pipework connection suspected leak location
• System empty - no recovery required
• 3-hour repair for complex ductwork access

Scenario 3: Multi System Service Valve Leak

• R32 system with 3.5kg capacity
• Service valve suspected leak
• Leak seal not possible - component replacement required

Automatic Scope Generation

The system automatically creates work scope based on your selections:

Standard Process Items:

• Pressure Testing: "Pressure test system to approx. 2500kpa with dry nitrogen"
• Leak Detection: "Further investigate system for refrigerant leaks. Via bubble method"
• System Restoration: "Evacuate system to 500 microns or below"
• Recharge: "Recharge system with [Type] [Amount]kg refrigerant"
• Testing: "Test systems operation after works are completed"

Conditional Items:

• If Refrigerant Remaining: "Recover existing contaminated refrigerant"
• If Suspected Component: "Suspected component: [Component] to be repaired"
• If Leak Seal Enabled: "Seal leaks where found and possible"

Advanced Features

Refrigerant Precision:

• Fine Increments: 0.1kg precision for small systems (1.0-2.0kg)
• Standard Increments: 0.5kg increments for larger systems

Professional Testing:

• High Pressure Testing: 2500kpa nitrogen pressure testing
• Bubble Method: Visual leak detection procedure
• Evacuation Standards: 500 microns or below requirement

Automatic Documentation:

• Scope Generation: Professional work scope automatically created
• Consistent Format: Pipe-separated format for quote presentation
• Complete Process: All required steps automatically included

Pro Tips

Assessment Tips:

• Visual Inspection: Document obvious leak signs before testing
• Pressure Check: Verify system pressure before recovery
• Component Focus: Identify most likely leak locations

Configuration Tips:

• Refrigerant Verification: Confirm refrigerant type from system labels
• Capacity Calculation: Use manufacturer specifications for recharge quantity
• Access Planning: Consider equipment access for labor time estimation

Professional Standards:

• Complete Testing: Always include full pressure testing process
• Proper Recovery: Follow EPA guidelines for refrigerant recovery
• System Verification: Complete operation testing after repairs
