UV Leak detection
UV Leak detection
Decreasing refrigerant charging amounts in automotive air
conditioners call for more sensitive UV leak detection equipment.
TRACER
®
has introduced a new TRACERLINE
®
LED technology
with its TP-8690 lamp series. The advantage about the new
technology is the improved fluorescent reflection of the UV
additive in the colour spectrum visible to the human eye. This
colour spectrum covers the entire blue range (A) of the diagram
shown above. Conventional leak detection lamps usually come
with halogen lights, which are unable to show the complete
reflection range visible to the human eye (see diagram range B).
The new LED leak detection technology cuts the time of
inspection and increases the sensitivity of detection.

LEAKAGE CONTROL –
AN ABSOLUTE MUST
The utopia of a maintenance-free A/C system
has been abandoned long ago. These days, A/C
experts accept the fact that refrigerant losses
occur with virtually every system. These losses do
not always result from torn ducting or damages
through accidents. Even totally intact systems lose
some refrigerant – through the ducting and piping
system, screw connections, sealing rings, etc. Such
losses particularly affect modern systems containing
far less refrigerant than former system generations.
The law forbids recharging defect A/C systems – after
all, R 134a is regarded as an environmental hazard and
climate killer. Regular leakage checks are in
the interest of the vehicle owner, too, to prevent
compressor damage. What’s the best way to detect a
leak though?
When buying a UV additive, make sure you get a quality
one! Poor quality additives may cause wear on the seals in the
air conditioner as well as in the A/C service unit. Moreover,
some UV additives contain solvents which may impair the
refrigerant oil‘s lubricating ability and in the worst case,
damage the compressor. Additives containing naphthalene
are also dangerous because they let the seals swell.
Currently, there is only one UV additive available that
was specially formulated for use with refrigerant oils and
is therefore absolutely solvent-free: TRACERLINE
®
. When
applied properly, this additive is absolutely safe for use in
vehicle air conditioners or A/C service equipment. Many
automotive manufactures stipulate that leak detection
additives of a certain quality must be used.
