Leak detection system receives US patent
15th July 2025
USA: San-Jose-based Axiom Cloud has been granted a US patent for its automatic refrigerant leak detection system and method.
The patent establishes formal protection around Axiom’s AI-native approach to detecting refrigerant leaks in retail grocery and cold storage facilities, whether or not the facilities have receiver level sensors or refrigerant gas sensors installed.
“This IP protection helps to ensure that Axiom can continue to improve its differentiated leak detection capabilities and double down on this feature set that many of our Fortune 500 customers have come to rely on,” commented Axiom Cloud CEO and co-founder Amrit Robbins.
Axiom’s protected AI algorithms are trained on more than 1,200 site-years of real-world refrigeration data, and a database of over 80,000 anomalies that have been hand-confirmed by US-based refrigeration specialists.
It estimates leak rates which helps customers prioritise and batch leaks more efficiently. According to Axiom Cloud, for major grocery chains and refrigerated warehouse operators managing hundreds of facilities, this translates to millions in avoided emergency repairs and reduced refrigerant costs.
