The types of gases a gas leak detector detects is the not the regular kind. It detects some poisonous gases and gases harmful to your lungs or you in general.

Have a shop perform a leak test with a halogen detector.
Ultrasonic leak detectors, are also referred to as acoustic gas leak detection systems. They are designed to detect gas leakage at outside facilities.
With an electronic leak detector or fluorescent dye.With an electronic leak detector or fluorescent dye.
So you will be able to detect them if there is a leak. They put Mercaptan in Natural Gas for that reason.
There are 2 , common, ways to detect leaks. An electronic leak detector and dye. Sometimes both are needed. Of course the system has to be full of freon to for the dye to leak out or for an electronic detector to find a leak (just like finding an air leak in a tire). If the leak is at a connection, you may be able to just replace O rings, if a component (Like the compressor, condensor, evaporator) is leaking it will need replaced. If the system has freon in it, the law says to recover it with a recovery machine. There are 2 , common, ways to detect leaks. An electronic leak detector and dye. Sometimes both are needed.

with an electronic leak detector or other professional leak detection equipment. Professionals should be called immediaterly as it could be a serious health and safety risk, also a threat to the environment.
Firstly, to start with, we need to know what is the gas that we want to detect. Every Gas Detector will have a built-in sensor, to identify the gas like Toxic, Combustible, VOC & Oxygen type of Gases. The Sensor can also be of various types of principles like Electrochemical, NDIR, Catalytic, PID and Laser. The sensor will generate a respective analog output which will be directly proportional to the gas leak concentration. Then using Signal Processing with the Microcontroller that you choose which will display the measured gas concentration.The gas concentration is measured in PPM (Parts per Million), %LEL or %V/V
"A gas detector detects the presence of various gasses in a certain area that the detector has been placed. Since many gases are harmful, this is a useful item to have whether it be in your home or business. Several units will sound an alarm, and some will even shut down the source of the gas leak."
I think I have a water leak in my basement. What are some ways to detect and repair the leak?
You need to know about gas detector maintenance, alarm activation, lower explosive limit or LEL, the types of alarms and where it will be located. You also need to know what steps to take in case your detector alerts you to a gas leak.
