🔍 Key Concepts

• Low-pressure refrigeration systems typically operate in a vacuum (below atmospheric pressure) on the low side • Standard leak detection methods often assume the system is at or above atmospheric pressure so refrigerant leaks out rather than air leaking in • Effect of system pressure relative to atmospheric pressure on how leaks behave

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if the system pressure is below atmospheric when you look for leaks—what actually flows through a leak? • Standard leak detectors are usually designed to sense refrigerant moving which direction: out of the system or into the system? • Which option would change the operating condition so that a leak would push refrigerant out where it can be detected using normal methods?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice would make the system pressure higher than outside air so refrigerant can escape through a leak • Eliminate any choice that would increase the vacuum and make air leak into the system instead of refrigerant out • Consider whether adding another gas (like nitrogen) is really necessary, or if simply adjusting system pressure relative to atmospheric is the key change
