Have used one in the past and found it quite effective even in noisy surroundings.

Re: ultrasonic refrigerant leak detectors?
I wouldn't be "obejctive", as I sell the product. I do believe in it, since I've found many leaks using this technology.
I May we will give a training at Business Edge Ltd. about our cleaning system, and I'll bring one of these ultrasonic devices. We will do some demonstrations.
Noisy ambients may affect or not to the ultrasonic inspections, but, eliminating competitor ultrasounds is relatively easy in most of the cases. If the noise is not ultrasonic, there's no problem at all.
regards,
Nando
