The Fact Is…Not All Leak Detection Methods Are Created Equal

Leaks are often virtually impossible to find with conventional methods until they result in expensive systems failures. Spectroline fluorescent tools quickly locate the smallest and most elusive leaks, including intermittent and simultaneous multiple leaks that would otherwise be missed. The Spectroline method saves labor, money, and downtime, as it also conserves expensive fluids.

Tips for Avoiding & Cleaning Fluorescent Dye Spills

Fluorescent dye is a fast and efficient way to find all leaks in air conditioning and refrigeration systems but given the nature of the product it can be messy if handled incorrectly. Most fluorescent dye spills occur when a service port of a pressurized AC&R system charged with dye is accessed, resulting in a forcible spray of dye. Additionally, incomplete connection to the service port and/or injecting fluorescent dyes into systems with damaged or out-of-specification service ports may also result in dye spills.
