PRACTICAL EXAMPLES Air conditioning & heat pump manufacturer DAIKIN relies on leak tests with helium treatment by WITTUsing noble gases can be cost-effective Helium is used for leak-testing critical and safety-relevant components, e.g. testing airbag ignitors, fuel systems, gas conducting pipes or even pacemakers, in a large variety of industrial production processes, The air conditioning and heat pump manufacturer Daikin also uses the expensive inert gas due to its highly suitable material specifications. An integrated helium treatment plant by WITT-Gasetechnik improves the efficiency of this complex procedure. Depending on the type of application, various methods can be used to detect leaks that have been caused e.g. by material defects, improper processing or assembly - from simple water dip tests via differential pressure testing to leak tests with various test gases. Helium is a commonly used inert gas, as it offers a multitude of advantages. It exists only to a low extent in ambient air and can be evidenced easily. Helium is also non-toxic and odorless and does not react with other materials. It’s most important feature however is the small atomic radius that allows quick tests and detecting even the smallest leaks. These features are also used by Daikin. Since its establishment more than 80 years ago, the Japanese company has become one of the world’s leading suppliers of advanced air conditioning technology. The company’s European business operations are managed from Ostend in Belgium since 1973. Likewise, one of the company’s largest production site for cooling and heating units is located in Ostend. Leak tests have always been a key aspect of the Belgian production site’s quality assurance. The operation of air conditioning equipment involves the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases that can have a significantly

www.wittgas.com higher impact on the climate than C02 when escaping into the atmosphere. The systems manufactured by Daikin are therefore subject to particularly demanding leak tightness requirements; a.o. required by law. All units are controlled through a test gas procedure in the context of a comprehensive test in order to avoid any and all leaks. “Each test sample is subject to the test gas. In case of an undesired gas leakage the component is considered to be defective”, Davy Van Rossem, Daikin Europe N.V., explains the test process principle. What sounds simple, can only be put into...

A total of 19 test lines for various device sizes have been integrated into the test plant. Around 100m3 of gas per hour pass through the system circuit. Nearly 2000 units are leak-tested daily and delivered by the Daikin Europe N.V. site in Belgium. Each unit is tested twice which means about 4000 tests a day. What are your requirements?
