Custom Solution | Leak Test System for Refrigeration Compressors

SKU:

X-E0004869

A global environmental control systems manufacturer required a custom leak test system for detecting gross and fine leaks in refrigeration compressors.

We engineered a custom leak test system utilizing the gross leak and helium hard vacuum method to leak test the final compressor assembly.
