Early Leak Detection

Reduce refrigerant leak rates by detecting and locating refrigerant leaks early. EPA and CARB compliant. No new hardware or sensors required.

 
 
 
 
 

 
Without Axiom’s support, we would have lost hundreds of pounds of refrigerant and experienced a critical cooling outage within 24 hours. And, it happened twice in a week!

Predictive Refrigerant Loss Detection

  • Complies with 2025 EPA requirements for indirect Automatic Leak Detection (ALD) systems.

  • The California Air Resources Board (CARB) lists Axiom Cloud as an ALD system.

  • Completely remote deployment - no new hardware or site visits required

  • Does not require receiver-level sensors or PPM refrigerant "sniffers"

  • Eliminates the requirement for quarterly manual leak checks

  • Uses AI to identify system-level changes in performance trends that are leading indicators for a leak (primarily, 8+ families of indicators including superheat values, valve positions, component runtimes, enthalpy values, etc.) - patent pending

  • Addresses the primary driver of scope 1 emissions: high refrigerant leak rates

  • Helps identify the locations of leaks to make onsite technicians more efficient

 
 

 

Software is refrigeration’s new best friend

Axiom’s Early Leak Detection module uses AI to identify system-level changes in performance trends that are leading indicators for a leak (primarily, 8 families of indicators including superheat values, valve positions, component runtimes, enthalpy values, etc.). Axiom does not require receiver-level sensors or PPM refrigerant "sniffers" to work, but these sensor values can be used in the model if the sensors are already installed, functioning properly, and calibrated.

 
 
 

Axiom helps identify and solve leaks prior to business losses

In this graph, leaks are typically found at point 7 when temperature alarms are triggered. This can lead to spoilage, downtime, and loss of sales. Axiom enables companies to catch leaks at points 2 or 3, saving not only refrigerant costs, but potential outages.

Axiom can detect leaks anywhere in the refrigeration system, regardless of location. It can also help to isolate the location of leaks to specific cases, case groups, or racks (depending on the specific leak location).


 

Seamless Compliance Recordkeeping and Reporting

Detecting leaks early is important, but recordkeeping and reporting are also essential parts of compliance with EPA and state-level regulations (from CARB and others). Axiom’s Early Leak Detection module includes seamless compliance recordkeeping and reporting to help customers ensure that they remain compliant at all times.

Using real-time AI-driven monitoring, the system automatically tracks leak events, generates reports, and maintains a comprehensive audit trail – ensuring you’re prepared for any inspection, anytime.

Key Features

  • Rapid Compliance Report Generation: Provide required EPA and CARB ALD compliance reports promptly upon request in case of an unannounced visit by an auditor

  • Comprehensive ALD Audit Trail: Maintain a complete record of ALD system installation and calibration dates at each facility to support recordkeeping requirements

  • Leak Reports: Generate documentation for each leak detected and its location within the facility to support recordkeeping, leak rate calculations, and mandatory self-reporting requirements
