TPOPUV20EV: Fast, Safe EV A/C Leak Detection for Hybrid & Electric Compressors
Modern EVs and hybrids demand tools that meet strict electrical safety and compatibility requirements—especially for A/C service. The Tracerline® TPOPUV20EV kit brings OEM-grade EV A/C leak detection to the service bay, helping technicians pinpoint leaks fast without compromising system resistivity or performance.
Purpose-Built for EV/Hybrid A/C Systems
Electrically driven compressors require dyes and oils with high-dielectric properties so the system maintains proper insulation and safety. Tracer Products formulates its EV/Hybrid A/C dyes to OEM specifications, delivering concentrated performance that won’t alter system properties and is compatible with both R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerants. That’s the confidence techs need as EV volume grows.
Tracerline’s leadership is proven: the brand invented UV fluorescent leak detection and remains trusted by major OEMs, with UV dyes installed in over 350 million vehicles. When you choose Tracerline, you’re aligning with the only UV dye approved for use on the assembly line—from factory QA to dealership maintenance.
What’s Inside the TPOPUV20EV Kit
Everything a technician needs for EV A/C leak detection is in the box:
-
OPTI-PRO™ UV cordless, violet-light LED flashlight for bright fluorescence and quick scans (inspection range up to 20 ft).
-
(3) Mini-EZ™ single-dose POE-based EV A/C dye cartridges (0.25 oz / 7 ml each) to service up to 3 vehicles.
-
EZ-Ject™ injector assembly for controlled, clean dye delivery.
-
Brass swivel-type couplers for EV/Hybrid: R-134a (with check valve and purge fitting) and R-1234yf—ensuring the right connection every time.
-
GLO-AWAY™ Plus dye cleaner for a spotless reinspect and proof-of-repair documentation.
These components are engineered to work together, giving techs a repeatable workflow that shortens diagnosis and reduces comebacks.
Faster, Safer Workflow for Busy Shops
Add the EV-safe dye, operate the system to circulate, then scan with the violet-light lamp. Leaks glow brightly at the failure point—fittings, hoses, evaporators, condensers—so you can prioritize repairs with certainty. The Mini-EZ™ single doses simplify billing and inventory, while the dual couplers cover the most common refrigerants in late-model EV/Hybrid platforms.
Because Tracerline dyes are designed specifically for EV and hybrid environments, technicians can maintain system resistivity and integrity during service—meeting the unique demands of high-voltage HVAC systems without compromise. That’s EV A/C leak detection done right, from a brand that has set the standard for seven decades.
Bottom line: The TPOPUV20EV kit gives auto technicians a safe, OEM-grade solution to find and verify A/C leaks in EVs and hybrids—quickly, accurately, and profitably.
Trusted in Dealership Service Bays Nationwide
From factory QA to routine service, Tracerline® technology is embedded in dealership workflows. Because Tracerline is the only UV dye approved by OEMs for use on the assembly line, the same chemistry behind the TPOPUV20EV naturally carries forward into OES/dealership maintenance—giving service directors a consistent, OEM-grade path for EV A/C leak detection and documentation.
Service managers value tools that standardize results across tech levels. The TPOPUV20EV kit checks that box with a repeatable, three-step process—add dye, circulate, scan—that fits neatly into multipoint inspections and warranty workflows. The OPTI-PRO™ UV violet-light lamp offers an inspection range up to 20 ft, so advisors can verify repairs quickly at reinspect and capture clear photos for RO notes.
Dealerships also appreciate coverage and compatibility. The kit’s Mini-EZ™ single-dose POE-based EV A/C dye is engineered with high-dielectric properties to maintain system resistivity in electrically driven compressors—exactly what late-model EV and hybrid platforms require. Dual R-134a and R-1234yf brass couplers keep bays ready for any vehicle that rolls in, while GLO-AWAY™ Plus simplifies cleanup for a professional finish customers can see.
Why it works so well in dealer environments:
-
OEM alignment: From assembly line to service drive, the chemistry and procedures stay consistent.
-
Speed & accuracy: Bright fluorescence pinpoints the exact leak site, reducing diagnostic time and comebacks.
-
EV-ready by design: Dye and hardware meet EV/Hybrid requirements without altering system properties.
-
Easy to bill: Single-dose cartridges deliver clean, itemized RO lines for transparency and profitability.
