Air-cooled chiller refrigerant leak testing with UV dye

Air-Cooled Chiller Refrigerant Leak Testing with UV Dye – EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd

At EKG (Malaysia) 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.
