Fix A/C Micro Leaks fast

Following a breakthrough, a new range of additives stopped micro leaks (less than 0.3mm) without using chemicals that reacted with moisture. Should any moisture remain in the system or be introduced accidentally later, the new leak stop treatment will not cause damage to the system or recovery equipment in any way whatsoever. Designed to repair leaks and improve the overall efficiency of the system, reducing energy costs and damaging greenhouse gases leaking into the atmosphere.

Even though the risk to equipment is completely removed, some technicians and compressor manufacturers argue it is better to trace even microleaks to repair them. However, there are many reasons why stopping leaks is essential. For example, as a preventative treatment in mission-critical systems when you do not want a micro-leak to occur in the first place and where a leak is impossible to get at without major disruption,.

Proven effective, “Intertek Laboratory Tested” was developed by Italian manufacturer Errecom Srl. This range of HVAC and auto A/C additives incorporates tiny nanoparticles forced into a leak (less than 0.3mm) and agglomerate to make a tight seal. Errecom describes this method as being similar to blood platelets floating around our own bodies. Activated by pressure and flow at the leak point, particles were dragged together with refrigerant gas and high-grade synthetic lubricant towards the outside of the system. The particles (platelets) form a kind of skin, or scab, permanently sealing the hole.

Extreme Ultra leak stop is injected by syringe into the low-pressure port of the A/C system. A simple test to determine the size of the leak is to charge the A/C with refrigerant gas. If the system cannot hold, say, 1 bar of pressure for about 4 minutes, then leak-stop additives will not work.

Errecom’s range of additives and chemical tools is widely used in over 90 countries.

Fix difficult to find small leaks in hydraulic systems

When hydraulic fluid leaks, less fluid is available to generate power, reducing the system’s effectiveness. Generally, leaks are small and will not immediately stop the machinery from working altogether.  The longer the leak continues, this can result in long-term damage.

A hydraulic system produces force by using fluids that are not compressed. A liquid cannot be compressed because it has a fixed volume; exerting even a small amount of pressure generates a force that can be used to push objects. Obvious indicators such as levels of fluid, the machine not performing as it should, and pools of fluid beneath the equipment point to a leak. Poor pressure, machinery getting hotter than usual, and unusual noises are all indicators of malfunction. Leaks are a common cause, and its best to look for them before taking machinery apart.

If there are no glaringly obvious cracked or split pipes that need replacing, you can use a multi-purpose UV dye mixed with hydraulic oil. The dye does not interfere with the normal activity of the circuit liquids and is safe to leave inside the circuit of a system, making it suitable for hydraulic systems to identify where the leak is coming from.

If the leak is small, judged by the rate of loss of the fluid, and not easily fixed mechanically, a second option is to fix the leak using a  hydraulic leak stop. This is a specially formulated treatment that flows through the circuit with hydraulic oil and revives hardened, deformed, and worn gaskets to their original states. Once a leak is found, the sealant begins to build a seal, preventing further fluid loss. The sealant is flexible and able to withstand the pressure and temperature of the hydraulic system, remaining in place for a long period of time. With a recommended dosage of 60 ml for every litre of hydraulic oil, Leak Stop is easy to use and helps extend the life of your equipment.
