ProCharge Leak Detector 1.9LBS With UV Dye & Sealant

The ProCharge 4019 is a 1.9 pound R-22 refrigerant charge containing UV dye and leak sealant.

Products combining refrigerant with dye and sealant address small leaks without the system being opened. The dye supports subsequent leak location under ultraviolet light, and the sealant is intended to close very small leaks as it reaches them and reacts.

Sealants divide opinion in the trade, and the reasons are worth understanding. Their proponents point to genuine successes on small leaks in inaccessible locations, particularly evaporator coils, where the alternative is an expensive coil replacement.

Their critics note that sealants can react where they are not wanted, potentially affecting metering devices, filter driers, and recovery equipment, and that many recovery and reclaim facilities will not accept refrigerant contaminated with sealant. Some manufacturers void warranty where sealant has been introduced.

The reasonable position is that sealant is a considered option on older equipment with a small, inaccessible leak where the economics do not support proper repair, and that it is not a substitute for finding and fixing a leak on equipment worth repairing properly.

Applications include R-22 residential and light commercial air conditioning and refrigeration service.
