Refrigerant: Description and Operation
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DYE
Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the factory to assist in refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda
approved ultraviolet blacklight. It is not necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a significant amount of
refrigerant has been removed from the system. Replacement receiver/driers are shipped with a fluorescent dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag,
which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye after flushing or filtering the refrigerant
system because a new receiver/drier is installed as part of the flushing or filtering procedure. Additional refrigerant system dye should only be added if
more than 50 percent of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation, hose rupture, etc.
