[0002] With the continuous increase in global attention to greenhouse gas emissions and ozone layer protection, the problem of refrigerant leakage has become a core issue in environmental governance and industrial upgrading. As an important source of greenhouse gas emissions, refrigerant leakage directly exacerbates global warming.
[0003] The refrigerant leakage detection device for vehicle air conditioners can detect vehicle air conditioners. However, existing detection devices such as the soapy water method have low sensitivity, and electronic leak detectors are costly and complex to operate, making it difficult to meet the high-precision detection requirements for micro-leaks (such as an annual leakage of 0.5 g level) in industries such as automobiles and household appliances. Therefore, there are significant defects in current refrigerant leakage detection devices: the traditional visual inspection method has low sensitivity, electronic leak detectors rely on imports and are costly, are complex to operate and difficult to adapt to multi-scenario requirements. At the same time, the current price of hundreds of thousands of yuan for the whole vehicle air conditioner refrigerant detection environmental chamber and equipment also restricts the popularization and application of refrigerant leakage detection technology.
