Fluorescent Tracing Agent, Production/Aftermarket

Fluorescent tracing agent, production/after market

Fluorescent tracing agent, production

Volvo has introduced a fluorescent tracing agent into production.
The tracing agent is impregnated in a free standing "Dry-Water" cylindrical filter in the drying agent in the dryer.
The tracing agent dissolves and mixes with the compressor oil in the climate control system. The tracing agent is light green in color. It is used to identify any leakage in the climate control system. If an UV lamp is used, it is easier to see where the fluorescent tracing agent is leaking out.
The receiver drier is supplied without tracing agent for aftermarket orders.
For information about filling and leak tracing using fluorescent tracing agent, see Refrigerant, draining Refrigerant, Draining.
