Refrigerant: Description and Operation

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM DYE (DOUBLE WAFER)

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. New suction accumulators 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 suction accumulator is installed as part of the flushing or filtering procedure. Additional refrigerant system dye should
only be added if more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation, hose rupture or other damage.
Refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.
