Sight glass-window that allows the mechanic to see inside the system. This
allows the installer or Servicer to observe the state of the refrigerant in the
sight glass in place. When moisture, pointing to the CD will include as
shown here, it becomes moisture, pointing to the sight glass. This mechanism
allows the mechanic to determine the amount of moisture in the
refrigerant circulating through the system. Chemical compounds on the drive
sits in the refrigerant flow and change color in the presence of water. The
amount of change indicates the amount of water.
Each field rechargeable system must have a means to verify the sufficient
amount of the refrigerant. Correctly located sight glass meets this need. It
will not, however, tell you if the system is overcharged. Sight glass should
have a viewing window on either side (dual port), so a flashlight may be
shone through the refrigerant. In addition, sight glass should have a seal cap
on every port to prevent leakage.
