Air-Cooled Chiller Refrigerant Leak Testing with UV Dye – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we offer refrigerant leak testing with UV dye for air-cooled chillers, providing a highly accurate, non-invasive method to detect even the smallest refrigerant leaks. This method is especially effective when traditional leak detection tools cannot easily locate the source of a slow or hidden leak. By injecting UV-reactive dye into the system, we can trace the exact leak point using a UV light, ensuring quick detection, precise repair, and minimal downtime.

Why Use UV Dye for Leak Testing?

  • Highly Accurate Detection – Pinpoints the exact location of refrigerant leaks, even in hard-to-reach areas.

  • Non-Invasive Method – No need to disassemble components unnecessarily, reducing service time and disruption.

  • Ideal for Slow or Intermittent Leaks – Dye circulates with the refrigerant and accumulates where the leak occurs, making small leaks easier to identify.

  • Supports Preventive Maintenance – Useful for ongoing system health checks, especially in older or frequently serviced chillers.

  • Improves Repair Accuracy – Enables targeted repairs, reducing the risk of missed or recurring leaks.

Our UV Dye Leak Testing Process

  • System Assessment
    We begin by inspecting the system for signs of refrigerant loss and determining the best approach for dye injection.

  • Dye Injection
    A UV-reactive dye is added to the refrigerant circuit. It circulates through the system with the refrigerant and oil.

  • System Operation
    The chiller is run under normal conditions to allow the dye to circulate and accumulate at any leak points.

  • UV Light Inspection
    We inspect all refrigerant components using a specialized UV detection lamp to locate dye traces, which highlight exact leak locations.

  • Leak Documentation & Repair Recommendation
    We provide a detailed report showing leak locations and offer recommended repair solutions.

  • Optional Leak Sealing or Component Repair
    Once the leak is confirmed, our team can perform on-the-spot sealing or arrange for part replacement, followed by system recharge.
