Leak Test - Air Pressure Application
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
Refer to Charge Air Cooler Caution
.
IMPORTANT:
Charge air coolers are not required to be leak proof. DO NOT test the cooler for leakage by submerging it in a radiator test tank. Almost all charge air cooler units will show leakage if they are submerged.
- Connect the filtered air supply to the air valve on the gage/regulator assembly.
- Open the air valve SLOWLY, increasing the air pressure in 34-69 kPa (5-10 psi) increments while listening for air leaks. Continue increasing the air pressure until the gage reads 205 kPa (30 psi).
- Close the air valve and monitor the gage for 15 seconds. Note any decrease in air pressure.
- Repeat the test 3 times to verify the results.
