Traditional corona sensor — Halogenated refrigerant detector What it is A traditional corona sensor designed to detect halogenated refrigerants. It responds to a broad range of halogenated compounds commonly used in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Key benefits — why you need it Broad detection coverage: reliably reacts to CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs, so one sensor covers legacy and modern refrigerants. Simplifies leak finding: prevents missed leaks by responding across multiple refrigerant families. Versatile for service and compliance: useful for routine HVAC/refrigeration maintenance, leak audits, and safety checks when transitioning or retrofitting systems. Function and performance Sensor type: traditional corona sensor. Detection behavior: reacts to halogenated refrigerants (the sensor produces a response when exposed to chlorinated or fluorinated refrigerant compounds). Performance: suitable for practical leak detection and monitoring tasks involving halogenated refrigerants. (Refer to your host instrument for numeric sensitivity and response-time specifications.) Compatibility — refrigerants detected (examples) CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), e.g. R12, R11, R500, R503 HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), e.g. R22, R123, R124, R502 HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), e.g. R134a, R404S, R125, R1234yf Important notes on attributes Function: detects halogenated refrigerants via corona sensing. Compatibility: reacts to the refrigerant families and example substances listed above. Size and material: sensor form factor and materials depend on the host detector or instrument in which the sensor is installed; consult the instrument’s documentation for physical dimensions and material details. Performance specifics (sensitivity, calibration, lifetime): refer to the specifications and maintenance guidance for the instrument that uses this corona sensor. Practical use scenarios HVAC service technician locating leaks on residential or commercial air-conditioning lines using a hand-held detector equipped with this corona sensor. Refrigeration maintenance in supermarkets and cold storage facilities to find leaks in evaporator coils, piping, and joints across systems that may contain CFCs, HCFCs, or HFCs. System retrofit or refrigerant conversion projects where technicians must verify the absence of remaining halogenated refrigerants or identify leak paths during evacuation and charging. What to check before use Confirm the corona sensor is compatible with your detector or instrument model. Review the host instrument’s sensitivity and calibration procedures to ensure accurate detection for your application. Follow recommended safety and service procedures when inspecting pressurized or energized equipment. This traditional corona sensor provides broad, practical detection of halogenated refrigerants, making it a useful component for leak detection and maintenance across CFC, HCFC, and HFC systems.
