The manufacture of air conditioners requires detailed inspections due to the risk of refrigerant fluid leakage, which can cause environmental damage and product losses. This work proposes the optimization of the leakage test in evaporating units through automation, aiming to reduce nitrogen consumption, improve operator ergonomics, and increase productivity. The developed automated system allows precise gas control, cost reduction, and process time standardization, contributing to the quality of the final product.
