Frequently Asked Questions
主要方法包括:
荧光检漏
Uses an ultraviolet (UV) or blue light inspection lamp and fluorescent dyes to find even the smallest leaks quickly and easily. It can locate multiple leaks—including those missed by other methods—and is the only preventive maintenance technique that detects all refrigerant and fluid leaks.
视觉检查
A slow, labor-intensive method that often relies on spotting colored fluids (e.g., red for transmission fluid, green for coolant). It’s difficult to pinpoint exact sources and cannot detect clear liquids or evaporating refrigerants.
肥皂水和泡沫解决方案
An inexpensive but limited method used only for refrigerant leaks. It’s time-consuming and not suitable for oil, hydraulics, transmission, or fuel systems.
滑石粉
Spraying powder near a suspected leak may help identify oil leaks, but it can cause a mess and damage carburetors. Only for oil leaks.
离子探测器("嗅探器")
Detects only the general area of a refrigerant leak and performs poorly in humid conditions. Fragile and not suitable for heavy-duty use.
压缩空气
Used in water-cooling systems but risky—it can damage hoses and components or enlarge existing leaks. Only for coolant leaks.
Tracerline UV fluorescent leak detection uses inspection flashlights and fluorescent dyes to easily pinpoint hard-to-find leaks in minutes. It works in any circulatory system, including:
Refrigerant
石油
冷却液
Fuel
ATF
Power steering
Hydraulics
Auto body water leaks
⚠️ Note: Not for brake systems.
ADD the appropriate dye to the suspect system and run it to circulate the dye.
INSPECT the system with a Tracerline leak detection flashlight, any leaks will glow brightly.
CLEAN 在修复后的部位加 GLO-AWAY™ Plus dye cleaner.
RUN the system again.
再检查 the area, if no glow appears, all leaks are repaired.
Yes. Tracerline dyes are co-solvent free and completely safe when used as directed in OEM-grade systems.
不知道 Tracerline染料永远不需要被移除。事实上,它们被设计成可以留在系统中,这样你就可以很容易地重新检查维修并找到未来的泄漏。
Tracer Products provides a wide range of leak detection kits, lamps, dyes, and accessories to meet any diagnostic need.
Yes. Tracerline leak detection is used by major U.S. and foreign car manufacturers in their quality-control programs. Tracerline dyes are approved by 福特、通用汽车、克莱斯勒、日产、丰田、大众、沃尔沃、欧宝、捷豹、现代。以及其他主要汽车制造商。
Yes! Finding leaks, especially those that were not located by other shops, builds customer satisfaction, enhances your credibility, reduces labor costs, and helps avoid no-charge reworks. Being able to show customers their leaks makes it easy to get the repair order.
It’s usually very fast! In fact, many technicians report that they recovered the cost of their leak detection kit on their very first repair.
Although others have tried to imitate the Tracerline fluorescent leak detection method that Spectronics Corporation (Tracer Products’ parent company) invented in 1955, Tracer Products remain superior in many ways:
Higher-intensity Tracerline inspection lamps provide more power, greater ease of use, and better value.
Tracerline lamps are built tougher to withstand hard, round-the-clock use.
Tracer Products制造和服务自己的产品。
Tracer Products offers the widest selection of fluorescent dyes to find the broadest range of leaks.
Tracer Products提供最好的技术支持。
Fluoro-Lite® dyes have been extensively tested and are used and approved by major vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
Tracerline fluorescent dyes are proven in over 350 million vehicles.
该 Tracer Wafer™ is a factory-installed fluorescent dye wafer used by major vehicle manufacturers for OEM A/C system leak detection. Once installed in the receiver/drier or accumulator during production, it continuously releases a precise amount of dye into the refrigerant system for the vehicle’s lifetime. This allows technicians to easily identify leaks with a Tracerline® UV inspection lamp—no additional dye injection required.
Yes. Tracer Products also offers 泄漏探测器, a full line of professional-grade fluorescent leak detection products designed specifically for the aftermarket. LeakFinder kits, dyes, and lamps provide the same reliability and performance trusted in OEM applications, tailored for everyday service and repair shops.
