AquiTron / Aquilar
Refrigerant Gas Leak Detection Systems
Aquilar Limited are specialist suppliers of two
brands of leak detection. Firstly the TraceTek water and fuel oil
liquid systems and secondly the AquiTron range of refrigerant gas
leak detection systems are used in many of today’s modern buildings to
monitor and minimise leaks on air conditioning systems and
refrigeration plant.
Refrigerant / Air Conditioning Gas Detection
Refrigerant gas leak detection has become a high
priority for many companies in this environmentally sensitive age,
coupled with responsibility concerning health and safety within
buildings. The AquiTron systems have become critical for many of the
air conditioned and refrigerated spaces to give building owners an
early warning system to minimise losses of valuable gases.
Why Refrigerant Gas Detection?
Refrigerant loss from air conditioning and
refrigeration plant is not just expensive, it can be detrimental to
health and safety and is environmentally unacceptable.
A 15% refrigerant gas leak equates to a 100%
increase in energy consumption to maintain the same room temperature
As Electricity prices increase, ensuring you have
an efficient fixed leak detection system in occupied and critical
areas is vital. Building owners need to be compliant with the F-Gas
regulations and BS EN378. System designers can benefit from
installing a fixed system under the BREEAM scheme (Building Research
Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method) which helps provide
the best sustainable buildings. Many projects have already
benefitted from the installation of AquiTron systems, as it adds
vital credits to the schemes total.
Systems are available to detect all the common
refrigerant/ air conditioning gases used today, including CFCs, HFCs,
HCFCs such as R410A, R407c, R134A, R290 etc.
Technologies Used
There is wide range of sensor technologies
available to choose from to detect a wide range of gases in a
variety of applications. Four types are used to suit the application
and gas:
Semiconductor, Electrochemical, Catalytic &
Infrared

Water & Fuel Oil Leak Detection
TraceTek is part of the range of products
manufactured by Tyco Thermal Controls (formally Raychem) providing a
comprehensive range of digital and analogue leak detection
technology that are simple, reliable and flexible. The digital
control panel provides you with pinpoint accurate location of any
leaks. The system can also detect multiple leaks and can be
networked to 127 channels. No matter what your liquid leak detection
need is, TraceTek products are available to suit your application.
