When using the halide torch for refrigerant leak detection a small leak causes a flame?
One "lights" the halide torch and it burns a blue flame. While the flame is burning blue, one uses a "sniffer" tube to probe for a chloroflurocarbon leak, (older style, ozone depleating refrigerant). The sniffer tube sucks in the leak and causes the flame to turn a greenish color due to the burning of the refrigerant. Thus one has now detected a leak. There are also other methods available for detecting a leak ie. soap bubbles, dyes, and electronic leak detectors.
