Abstract:
A leak detection system of a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a sensor configured to detect a UV tracer in a monitored gas volume of the HVAC system. The leak detection system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to modify operation of the HVAC system in response to the sensor detecting the UV tracer in the monitored gas volume.
