The Superior AccuTrak VPE Plus is a non-invasive cost-effective ultrasonic leak detector that can detect both pressure and vacuum leaks of any gas. The VPE Plus leak detector is ideal for easily and effectively pinpointing leaks in air conditioning, refrigeration, automotive, and other systems. Ultrasonic Leak detectors are extremely sensitive to the ultrasonic sound of a turbulent gas leak. Superior ultrasonic leak detectors use a technology called heterodyning which translates ultrasound to a lower frequency which your ears can interpret.
The Accutrak Plus Ultrasonic Leak Detector maintains the original sound characteristics of the ultrasound making it possible to distinguish leaks from other competing background sounds. The Accutrak instruments are so sensitive you can hear the blink of an eye, yet most background noise will not interfere with detection accuracy. The Superior VPE Plus Ultrasonic leak detector includes a sound generator, headset, carrying case, and canvas belt pack. Listed below are the AccuTrak VPE Ultrasonic Leak Detector kits available and what is included in each one.
The VPE Plus Kit detects ultrasound, not refrigerant, or the presence of a specific gas. Any turbulent gas will generate ultrasound when it leaks, therefore it does not matter what gas you are leak testing. The Accutrak ultrasonic air leak detector will detect air, nitrogen, compressed air, new or old refrigerants, or even air as it rushes into a system.
