INFICON Receives International Award for Innovative Two-in-one Tool Design
AHR Expo Innovation Award recognizes D-TEK® 3 Refrigerant Leak Detector
East Syracuse, NY, USA — December 9, 2020: INFICON, a major global supplier of leak-detection equipment, has been awarded the 2021 AHR Expo Innovation Award in the Tools & Instruments category for its D-TEK 3 Refrigerant Leak Detector. The award recognizes D-TEK 3’s cutting-edge technology and improved tool design that provides service technicians fast, accurate leak detection that minimizes the cost and environmental impact of escaping refrigerants. D-TEK 3 can quickly and reliably locate CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and HFO blends (including A2Ls). In addition, with the optional CO2 sensor, this hand-held unit can also detect CO2 leaks making it a cost-effective alternative for service technicians that traditionally must carry two separate instruments to cover this range of gasses.
Built on the unparalleled performance of the company’s proven line of D-TEK leak detectors, D-TEK 3 also features a quick charge lithium ion battery with a 10-hour battery life and an ergonomic design for maximum comfort.
The AHR Expo Innovation Awards is an annual competition that honors the most inventive and original products, systems and technologies. A panel of third-party ASHRAE member judges evaluate all award entries and select a winner in ten categories based on design, creativity, application, value and market impact.
