Location of leaks with our SelectH2 – The benefits
Our SelectH2 family has been successfully established on the market. With this innovative
technology, we offer garages a method of leak detection in passenger car
and commercial vehicle A/C systems that saves time and money while protecting the environment. Once the A/C system has been filled with forming gas, vibration leaks that are difficult to detect can be identified with variable adjustment of the pressure. The location of leaks using forming gas, which is 95 percent nitrogen and 5 percent hydrogen, is particularly efficient as even the smallest leaks can be found in leaking A/C systems.
Diagnosing faulty vaporisers
Environmentally friendly
Low-cost procurement of forming gas
Highly sensitive sensors

No misdiagnosis due to oil and gas vapours
Non-toxic
Made in Germany
For air-conditioning systems with R134a and HFO-1234yf
SelectH2 – The best device for detecting leaks in A/C systems
The SelectH2 selective gas detector is equipped with two gas sensors, which act like an artificial nose and only respond to hydrogen. Gas and oil vapours do not have a negative impact on the measurement result, so there is no longer any obstacle to effective and precise leak detection on your car or air conditioning system. This is the key difference compared with conventional detection units, which respond to the refrigerant R134a.

Sight glass for refrigerant analysis
Our sight glass enables visual inspection of refrigerant or compressor oil and provides valuable information on their condition. Chips for example or other foreign bodies may have got into the system. You can also check whether compressor oil has become discoloured or contains water. Important information: The connections for R134a or R1234yf must be ordered separately.
- With integrated filter
- Easily disassembled for cleaning
Practical example of leak location
Filling A/C system with forming gas 95/5
Now fill the high-pressure side of the air-conditioning system with forming gas. The high and low-pressure side can be topped up simultaneously using the leak-location expansion set.
Heating up the device
The heat-up phase of the SelectH2 is signalled by the word "HEAT" and lasts approx. 50 seconds.
Repair and inspection
After repairing a leak, it is recommended carrying out another inspection using forming gas, followed by a functional check.
Filling with refrigerant and testing for leak-tightness
Fill the air-conditioning system with the appropriate refrigerant. Once you have filled up the A/C system, you should perform a functional test without fail.
