Helium Savings and Higher Efficiency with EcoBoost

The unique and patented EcoBoost feature enables the LDS3000 leak tester to detect smallest leaks, even on high and decreasing tracer gas background levels. Due to excellent instrument quality leading to extremely precise, repeatable and linear measurements, an intelligent algorithm predicts decreasing tracer gas backgrounds with high accuracy.With EcoBoost, the LDS3000 Helium Leak Detector can detect leaks early in the testing cycle and without the risk of missing small leaks. EcoBoost can also allow for the use of smaller, less energy consuming pumps and reduced helium consumption.
