Why is Spectroline trusted by more OEMs than any other brand?
Spectronics Corporation invented fluorescent leak detection in 1955. Today, we are the world’s leading manufacturer of ultraviolet equipment and fluorescent leak detection dye.
Spectroline products are the first and only choice for AC&R professionals. Our OEM-approved fluorescent dyes are co-solvent free, NSF certified, and can safely remain within AC&R systems.
How do I use fluorescent leak detection dye?
Simply add our patented
fluorescent dye to the suspect system. Let the dye circulate. Once the dye has permeated the system, scan for leaks with one of our high-intensity
leak detection flashlights. All leak sites will glow brightly with escaping fluorescent dye.
ما هو أسلوب الحقن الذي يجب استخدامه ؟
Use our
EZ-الشركة ™ أو
غلو-عصا ® injection method for small-to-medium sized AC&R systems – such as residential units, ice machines, window units, and refrigerators. Use our
بيغوز ™ injection method for medium-to-large sized AC&R systems – e.g., commercial units, supermarket units, refrigerated warehouses, food and dairy plants, and industrial facilities. Review our product dosage information for the correct application.
What are co-solvents and how do they alter system performance?
Co-solvents are chemical substances added to increase the solubility of specific compounds. This means co-solvents harmfully change the original lubricant properties of refrigerant oil. Co-solvents can lead to premature wear and outright damage. Poorly manufactured fluorescent dyes typically contain high levels of co-solvents. In addition to changing system properties, co-solvents have the potential to deteriorate system metals.
Why is dye concentration important?
Dye fluorescence is dependent on the ratio of fluorescent material to carrier oil. Poor performing dyes typically have low levels of fluorescent material. Simply put, poor dyes lack the concentration necessary to provide an effective fluorescent response.
Spectroline dyes are concentrated and able to fluoresce all leak areas brightly. This means Spectroline dyes are more economical because less dye is used per application.
How long does it take to find a leak?
In small-to-medium sized systems, you can find leaks within minutes. In commercial systems, it may take a few hours for the dye to circulate completely. For preventative maintenance, add Spectroline dye long before you have a problem. A technician can perform an inspection within a matter of seconds if the dye has already had time to fully circulate.
