Abstract: An LED inspection lamp has plurality of LED sources for emitting electromagnetic radiation at different peak wavelengths for causing visible fluorescence in different leak detection dyes. A lens is associated with each LED. Radiation passing through lenses is superimposed in target area at target distance. Another LED inspection lamp has plurality of LEDs emitting electromagnetic radiation at a peak wavelength. A lens adaptor has lens housing for attachment to LED inspection lamp with a single LED for causing visible fluorescence, and a lens. Substantially all of the radiation from the LED passes through the lens and is focused in a target area at a target distance from the lenses. LED spot lights have a similar configuration. The LEDs may produce white light from distinct LEDs or from white LEDs. The light may be a flashlight or fixed spot light.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus having at least one LED capable of emitting near ultraviolet or ultraviolet radiation to excite a luminescent material for non-destructive fault testing. The radiation may also be focused using a lens. There is also provided a method for detecting a fault in a body, comprising the steps of applying a luminescent material to the body in a manner to concentrate the luminescent material in a pattern indicative of the location of a fault in the body; activating an LED to emit ultraviolet radiation; shining the radiation transmitted from the LED onto the body to excite the luminescent material; and detecting a fault by the fluorescence of the luminescent material indicative of the location of the fault in the body.

Abstract: A method is provided for applying an internal coating to a fluid conduit component before assembly of that component in a fluid circuit. A selected amount of coating material is placed into a measuring device and dispensed into an opening of the component to coat an interior surface of the component. The coating material may be a leak detection dye or other additive that is later dissolved when the component is installed in a system of components such as an air conditioning system. When the system is charged with refrigerant and lubricant, the dye dissolves and may be circulated by the refrigerant and lubricant. If a leak exists in the system, the dye is expressed to indicate the location of a leak site. An apparatus is also provided for applying dye to an interior surface of a component of an air conditioning unit, prior to assembly of the component in an air conditioning system.
