Omega Environmental Technologies, a world-wide manufacturer and distributor of aftermarket mobile air conditioning parts, recommends using ultra fluorescent leak detectors (UV leak detectors) to find even the smallest leaks in your air conditioning systems. UV leak detectors can find leaks as small as 1/8 oz. of refrigerant per year. When using UV leak detectors, ultraviolet lamps are used to shed light on a special greenish-blue or greenish-yellow dye that has been inserted into the air conditioning system.
