When helium runs out or becomes unaffordable: How companies secure their leak detection

Helium prices are rising and supply remains fragile. This presentation showcases ready-to-use alternatives – hydrogen forming gas and other tracer gases – in a technology comparison, and presents the INFICON portfolio for a cost-effective transition without compromising testing quality.

Session Beschreibung

Companies that still rely exclusively on helium are carrying a growing business risk: global helium supply is fragile, prices have risen dramatically in recent years – and there is no end to this trend in sight. For service companies and manufacturers in refrigeration and air conditioning technology, this translates into rising testing costs, inconsistent availability, and in the worst case, production shutdowns due to a lack of test gas.
This presentation shows which technological alternatives are genuinely ready for use today – and how companies can make the transition pragmatically. The focus is on hydrogen forming gas and other tracer gases as replacements for helium, a comparison of achievable detection sensitivities, and safety and investment considerations. "INF ...
