Car AC LeakDetection in Batumi

AC leak detection at PRO SERVICE (Batumi, Airport Highway 212): we find exactly where the refrigerant escapes, and only then repair and recharge. Leak detection from … GEL, takes 1-2 hours; a slow leak may need a second visit. Repairing the leak is priced separately.

When you need leak detection

• The AC was recharged, and weeks or months later it blows warm again.
• Diagnostics showed low system pressure.
• The system is completely empty: the compressor will not engage, pressure cut-out.
• Oily spots on line fittings, on the compressor, on the condenser.
• After a collision or radiator replacement — the AC condenser may be damaged.

How we find it

• Vacuum test. Whether the system holds vacuum is the first tightness check.
• UV dye. We add dye to the system, run the AC, then shine a UV lamp: the leak glows.
• Electronic leak detector. It reacts to refrigerant in the air — handy for spots you cannot see.
• Nitrogen pressure test with a bubble solution. We fill the system with nitrogen under pressure and look for bubbles. Works when the system is empty.

We pick the method for the situation and often combine two.

Where it leaks most often

• Condenser — it sits at the front, takes stone hits, and in Batumi's humid salty air the aluminum corrodes.
• O-rings at line and hose joints — the rubber ages.
• Compressor shaft seal — leaks when the car stands for long periods without the AC being used.
• Service port valves — a small but common cause.
• High and low pressure hoses, especially at the crimps.
• Evaporator — inside the dashboard, the hardest spot; signs: a smell, oil in the drain, no leak found outside.

After the search

We show you the spot and repair options with an estimate: O-rings, hose, valve or condenser replacement. After the repair — vacuum, tightness check and a recharge with … to the factory charge.
