LEAK RATE 4.0

I AM GETTING A LEAK RATE OF 4.0. I REBUILT THE STEAM MODULE, ALSO THE EXHAUST MODULE. NEW GASKET, CHECK VALVES ON THE HEAT EXCHANGER. NEW HEAT EXCHANGER. COULD I BE GETTING THE LEAK THROUGH THE FLOAT SWITCH INSIDE THE CHAMBER?

That's a big leak, pressurize the chamber and use a mirror to inspect for any steam leaks.

Check if the door is correctly alligned... I had a similar issue with a getinge 433, the problem was that the door on the right side came out a little more than the left side, when I calibrate the guidelines with a sparkplug calibrator, the leak stop. Also, check the gasket itself, if seals good. Perhalps you already did it, but check the weld and pipelines.
