Rationale: The need to reduce HFC-134a emissions has led to improved designs of mobile air conditioning systems, including smaller refrigerant charges and tighter seals to better contain the smaller charges. That in turn has created the need for a generation of leak detectors capable of finding very small to moderate leaks, both to address environmental concerns for effective leak detection and repair in service, and to enhance customer satisfaction by identifying all leaks that are of repairable sizes, as indicated by original equipment manufacturers.
