If the refrigerant of truck cooler refrigeration unit leakage happens during transporting goods, that will cause unexpected loss, which will not only pollute the environment, but also add the transporting expenses and time. So how to check whether the refrigerant in truck refrigeration unit on reefer car seems very important. And now there are several common and practical methods to check it.
Method 1: Detecting refrigerant leak of truck cooler refrigeration unit by visual
If you find somewhere have oil stains, and then there maybe is leak point. This checking way is simple and convenient, without cost. But the biggest flaw is you can not find the definite leak location unless there is a big leak point in truck refrigeration unit on reefer car and the leaked liquid is colored.
Method 2: Detecting refrigerant leak of truck refrigeration unit on reefer car by Soapy Water
Filling 10-20kgcm2 nitrogen gas into the truck cooler refrigeration unit and then smearing the soapy water on each parts of the refrigerated car. If there is bubbling, and that is leak location. Also this way is transport refrigeration units repair usually used. While most times, people can not find the leak point due to their limited range of vision.
Method 3：Detecting refrigerant leak in transport refrigeration units by nitrogen water
Filling 10-20kgcm2 nitrogen gas into the truck cooler refrigeration unit and then putting the truck cooler refrigeration unit into the water. Where there is bubbling, there is leak point, which is similar with the checking leak by soapy water. Though the cost is low, there have obvious shortcomings. The water that used to detect leak is have an access to truck refrigeration unit on reefer car, which corrodes the components in truck cooler refrigeration unit. And the high pressure gas maybe causes great damage to the truck refrigeration unit on reefer car, which will more difficult to leak checking and then increase the cost in truck refrigeration unit repair.

Method 4: Detecting refrigerant leak of truck cooler refrigeration unit by halogen lamp
Lighting the halogen lamp and holding the air pipe. When the pipe orifice close to truck refrigeration unit on reefer car, if the flame color becomes royal blue, that marks there have a great deal of refrigerant leakage. This checking way would produce flame, which is not only dangerous, but also the combination of refrigerant with flame would produce harmful gases. And it is not easy to locate the leak location, so very few people adopts this checking way.
Method 5: Detecting refrigerant leak in truck refrigeration unit on reefer car by gas differential pressure
You can use the gas pressure of truck cooler refrigeration unit differs inside and outside and then magnify the pressure difference through sensor, and then show it by figures, sounds or electronic signals. While this way can only tell us whether the refrigerant in transport cooler refrigeration unit is leaking and can not show us where the leak location is.
