A system designed for introducing a fluorescent tracer substance into an air conditioning system to facilitate leak detection. The kit generally comprises a delivery device, often syringe-like, and a quantity of specialized fluid. This fluid, when introduced and circulated within the A/C system, permeates through any breaches. When the system is inspected with an ultraviolet light, the escaping tracer glows, revealing the source of the refrigerant loss.
This diagnostic approach offers a non-invasive and efficient means of pinpointing elusive refrigerant leaks. By avoiding extensive disassembly and component testing, it minimizes downtime and reduces labor costs associated with identifying and repairing A/C system malfunctions. This method has become a standard practice in automotive repair and HVAC maintenance, supplanting older, less precise leak detection techniques.
