Refrigerant System Dye

A fluorescent refrigerant system dye wafer is added to the receiver drier desiccant bag at the factory to assist in refrigerant system leak diagnosis. This fluorescent dye wafer dissolves after about 30 minutes of continuous A/C operation. 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. REFER to the appropriate GENERAL PROCEDURES  .

NOTE: Check for leaks using a Rotunda-approved UV lamp and dye enhancing glasses.
