Abstract
A leak detection system and assembly. In one embodiment, a refrigeration system includes a non-invasive ultrasonic flowmeter to monitor an ultrasonic signal. The result is a refrigeration system to trigger a leak detection alert.
Claims80
A detection assembly comprising:
- a. a refrigeration system having a filter drier and an expansion valve;
- b. a sight glass;
- c. a conduit in flow communication between at least said filter drier, said expansion valve, and said sight glass;
- and
- d. an ultrasonic flowmeter aligned between said filter drier and said expansion valve and adjacent said sight glass, and wherein said ultrasonic flowmeter positioned on an exterior of said conduit and in signal communication with an interior of said conduit and adapted to provide an early-warning leak detection alert.
