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.
