Know What Works Fluorescent dyes provide the fastest and most accurate leak detection method for AC/R systems. When added to a suspect system, the escaping fluorescent dye exits all leak areas. Exposing the system to violet light causes the dye to fluoresce brightly. Very small leaks can be detected at a distance and technicians can…

DetailsFind Hydraulic Fluid Leaks Quickly and Accurately Every year, millions of gallons of hydraulic fluid are lost – leading to contaminated work areas and cost overruns. Hydraulic equipment cannot operate correctly if fluid levels are low and are not meeting manufacturers’ specifications. If hydraulic leaks persist, equipment will be at risk of mechanical failure. This inevitability…
DetailsWhy Polymerizing Sealants Should be Avoided Choosing a non-polymer sealant is an ideal choice as there is a significant trend towards clean, energy-efficient technologies, driven by both regulatory mandates and consumer demand for more eco-friendly solutions. The shift to mildly flammable A2L refrigerants requires proper leak detection tools that are compatible. One of the things…
