Liquid Leak Detectors

There are a number of fittings and places throughout the air conditioning system where a liquid leak detector solution may be used to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question with a swab, bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator and condenser, an electronic (gas) leak detector is more practical for determining leaks.

WARNING:
^ To prevent explosions or fires, make sure that there are no flammables in the vicinity.
^ When exposed to fire, the refrigerant turns into a poisonous gas (phosgene). Do not inhale this gas.
