fluorescent leak detection how it works a small amount of fluorescent dye is added to an air conditioning or refrigeration system and allowed to circulate the dye escapes with the system s refrigerant and remains at all leak sites when the system is scanned with a spectroline® inspection lamp the dye fluoresces brilliantly to pinpoint the exact source of every leak proven to find multiple and intermittent leaks undetectable by any other method even leaks smaller than 1/8 ounce per year easily verify repairs by removing the dye from the leak sites with glo-awaytm dye cleaner and then reinspect the dye can remain safely in ac&r systems indefinitely for future leak inspections fluorescent leak detection is the only method that can be used for both accurate diagnostics and as part of a comprehensive preventive maintenance program ar-glo® fluorescent dyes are the only dyes that are co-solvent free and oem-approved by major compressor refrigerant lubricant and ac&r equipment manufacturers ar-glo® dyes are super-concentrated and proven in over 50 million ac&r systems worldwide ar-glo® dyes are completely safe and will not alter or impair lubricant properties which could lead to equipment damage and costly downtime they have been successfully tested in accordance with ashrae standards 97 and 86 small to medium size ac&r systems ice machines window units refrigerators residential commercial large size ac&r systems supermarkets refrigerated warehouses food and dairy plants industrial facilities
