In the US you can buy R22 smelling of pine. Handy if it leaks..
Enviro-Safe™ 22a Refrigerant is different, because it is highly refined! Enviro-Safe does not contain the “rotten egg, sulfur, propane” odor. We add a fresh “Pine Scent” to our refrigerant to assist consumers in leak detection.

[QUOTE=Frikkie;275154]Maybe I could train my jack russell to find my leaks on my coldroom machine.
One of Ammonia's good points. You don't need any fancy gizmos to know that there is even the smallest leak.
I often wondered why they don't add something to refrigerants to make them smell, like they do with natural gas ?
But i have heard that the Ethly Mercaptan added to natural gas and propane to give it a odor would be removed by the dessicant in a filter dryer if used with refrigerants.....
