The Superior AccuTrak VPE is a non-invasive cost-effective ultrasonic leak detector that can detect both pressure and vacuum leaks of any gas. The VPE 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 that your ears can interpret.
The Accutrak 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 VPE 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. It is a listening device, not a ôsniffer. Therefore, the AccuTrack VPE can function in areas of heavy wind or concentrations of fumes from leaks which would make other detectors inoperable. It is also more accurate than other types of detectors for detecting larger leaks because its sensor will not become saturated or give false alarms from the presence of gas in the atmosphere.
