UV DYE FOR AC, OIL, AND COOLANT LEAKS LeakFinder® Universal AC Dye (LF1001) works with all automotive air conditioning systems containing R-134a, R-1234yf, or other widely used refrigerants, and will not affect system lubricant properties or change how the equipment works. System-specific dyes may be used with oil-based fluids as well. For example, LeakFinder® Oil-Based…
Traveling Safely and Minimizing Coronavirus In Your Car Fresh air and proper ventilation lower the risk of contracting coronavirus. Even in cramped quarters, airflow keeps the buildup of aerosolized virus down. The next time you’re driving, crack your windows down a few inches and run the HVAC system. Constantly introducing fresh air lowers the concentration…
Mobile HVAC UV Leak Detection During COVID UV leak detection is used to find leaks in mobile HVAC systems during the COVID pandemic. Recently, the NYPD authorized the use of a car’s heating system to sanitize emergency vehicles. Hot coolant is used to heat the interior of your car. If there’s a coolant leak, the…
UV DYE PINPOINTS SMALL AC CAR LEAKS UV dye is the perfect tool for visually detecting small AC car leaks. Whereas other leak detection tools can provide unreliable results, UV dye permeates 100% throughout the entire AC system and exits at all leak sites. This enables anyone to visually find leaks fast and accurately. Either…
WESTBURY, NY— The LeakFinder® SOLO-SHOT™ Single-Use Syringe Universal A/C Leak Detection Kit (LF040CS) provides quality leak detection for all automotive air conditioning systems using R-134a, R-1234yf, or other widely used refrigerants. This kit utilizes fluorescent leak detection dye technology to pinpoint the exact source of all system leaks. Once the dye is added to the system, it circulates throughout and then exits at all leaks sites. When the escaping dye is exposed to high-intensity light, it fluoresces brilliantly and identifies all system leaks.
Over the past few years, automotive manufacturers have shifted over to using modern A/C units that utilize R-1234yf refrigerant. R-1234yf refrigerant has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) Rating than its predecessor R-134a. Today, most automotive manufacturers have adopted these highly efficient, ultra-low impact refrigerant systems.
Catching Problems Early Proactive maintenance helps technicians get ahead of potential vehicle breakdowns. There are scheduled dates for inspection and the maintenance of critical parts. Critical parts such as the transmission system, braking system, steering and suspension systems, wheels, tires, the exhaust system, the electrical system, belts and hoses, and other critical parts are inspected…
The Elements of a PM Plan Preventative maintenance helps auto shops and fleet managers save money and be more efficient. Whether it’s maintaining inventory or executing successful repairs, a PM plan can optimize vehicle servicing. Preventative maintenance is comprised of four basic elements: engineering, economics, psychology, and execution. Each of these elements plays an important…
