Air Current Testers

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 22:11:58 +0000

Air Current Testers are often called smoke puffers, and are an essential tool for finding leaks in your enclosure. A Retrotec Air Current Tester creates about 1000 puffs of neutral buoyancy smoke, making it easy to track and see invisible air leaks in duct work and thermal envelopes.

Your Air Current Tester comes packed in an airtight storage tube with 2 spare nozzles and 1 spare rubber tip, and has an indefinite shelf life. The internal glass vial holds the 10 ml of TiCl₄ chemical indefinitely prior to charging. The tester can be charged merely by folding the tube. Which means no messy chemicals to pour.

Air Current Testers can test for:

Air-flow Direction
Room and building leak location
Duct leakage
Energy wasting house leaks
Room pressure imbalances
Pressure neutralization
Backdraft, spillage and heat exchanger leaks

Once activated, the Air Current Tester will produce small or large controlled puffs. Long puffs can be used to check for air movement over wide areas and smaller puffs can be used for leaks in small rooms.

One Air Current Tester

Consists of a 7.75" long by 1.3" diameter Teflon barrel with a 2.25" rubber extension tube, Teflon connecting tube, and T-nozzle.

One spare rubber extension tube and two spare T-cap-nozzles.

Carrying tube:

Each Air Current Tester comes in a 10.8" long ABS case x 1.9" diameter with airtight end caps, operating instruction and MSDS sheet.

1.2 pounds in storage tube.
After activation, lasts 2 to 6 months depending on usage.
Internal glass vial holds the TiCl ₄ chemical indefinitely prior to charging.

Shipping

Due to the hazmat status of the Air Current Testers, there is an additional Hazmat handling fee of $20.00 as well as custom designed made Hazmat Drop tested box fee for each shipment. These fees are in addition to the actual shipping costs.

Retrotec can only ship air current testers to locations in the Continental United States and Canada. Shipments to other locations (including Hawaii and Alaska) will require special arrangements.
