Tracer gas in OFN bottles
Apparently - if I remember well- I read here on RE that in the UK you could buy OFN pressurized bottles with a tracergas in it.
I would like to find out more (manufacturer, sort of tracer gas, detectable with normal detectors,...)
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Try asking BOC as they were trialing a mix of helium & nitrogen.

Peter
What are you trying to do, HPLT using OFN? If so when reclaiming leave a small charge of refrigerant in the system, HPLT with OFN over the top of the small charge of refrigerant and leak test using electronic sniffer.

Re: Tracer gas in OFN bottles
Well, that's now the problem, you may no longer test with refrigerant in the system.
Suppose, you have installed a new supermarket and pressurize the system and pressure drops. There's a leak. You search the whole system with soap without any result. And then?
You may not add gas in the system until you've found the leak.
Not that easy.
An electronic sniffer is only good if the system was already charged before.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
