Finding a leak in chiller system
Is there a non-corrosive, food grade dye that can be added to Chiller System to help locate leaks? -
where did the rabbit go
what kind of chiller are you working on? Is it a closed looped, maybe a tower or were you looking to find a leak on the refrigerant side. Need to be just a tad more detailed on what you are working on.Is it centrifical or semi hermetric low temp meduim or high temp. Kinda of like going to the super market and saying where the beef when you are in the polk side lol. -
Dye
Yes, your water treatment contractor would know what to use. Plain old food coloring would work for a small system. -
Thinking
Sorry if butcher reply...qwerty and me do not always agree.
I had thought about food coloring...have 8 ductless coils that suspect a couple are leaking into drains but system not installed to isolate. I am definitely not the tech in company...but was wondering if our thermal imagery might be a tool to use as well (sometime we forget we have that option) -
Color Blind
This system is a Multi Aqua 4 ton closed loop with 8 ductless air handlers. They look like Mitsubishi mini-splits. I'm color blind and was hoping for something I could add to the water without corroding anything but show up with a black light. Any thoughts? -
