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.
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.
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.
Experienced HVAC Leak Detection Team – Our technicians are skilled in UV dye methods and complex refrigerant diagnostics.
Fast & Precise Service – We combine UV dye testing with traditional detection methods for complete accuracy.
Eco-Conscious Practices – We use safe, non-toxic dyes and manage refrigerants according to green HVAC standards.
Minimal Downtime – Our approach allows us to identify leaks without shutting down the system for long periods.
Comprehensive Support – In addition to leak detection, we offer repairs, refrigerant top-ups, preventive maintenance, and efficiency optimization.
For reliable, pinpoint leak detection in your air-cooled chiller, UV dye testing is a proven, effective solution. At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we use this advanced method to help you identify and resolve refrigerant leaks quickly, keeping your system running efficiently and safely. Contact us today to schedule a UV dye leak test and protect your chiller from performance loss and costly damage.
