Universal Leak Detection Dye Works With All Refrigerants PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 29 December 2010

Spectroline® AR-GLO/E® "universal" dye can be used in any air-conditioning or refrigeration system, no matter what type of refrigerant or lubricant is in the system.  AR-GLO/E gAR-GLO/Elows brighter than any competitor's dye, so technicians can pinpoint all leaks quickly and accurately. AR-GLO/E contains no co-solvents and it does not have any adverse effect on the viscosity or lubricity of the system's oil and will not corrode hoses, seals or other components.

 

When AR-GLO/E is added to the system, it circulates with the refrigerant and oil.  If there are any leaks, the oil/dye mixture will escape with the refrigerant.  Although the refrigerant will evaporate, it leaves behind a trace of AR-GLO/E.  When the system is scanned with a high-intensity Spectroline® ultraviolet or UV/blue light lamp, the residual dye will show a bright fluorescent yellow-green, revealing the precise location of every leak.

 

To check repairs, the area is sprayed with GLO-AWAY™ leak cleaner and wiped clean.  The area is then re-inspected with the lamp. No glows mean that the repairs were done properly. The dye remains safely in the system for future inspections, making Spectroline® leak detection ideal for preventive maintenance programs.
