Sight Glass

Features & Applications

The sight glass is an optical monitoring component used in refrigeration systems to observe the condition of liquid refrigerant flow and detect moisture levels within the system. It is used for system diagnostics, allowing quick assessment of operating conditions and early detection of potential issues before maintenance or intervention.

Main Features
  • Transparent viewing window enables visual inspection of refrigerant flow and bubble condition in the liquid line
  • Moisture indicator provides visual color change according to moisture content in the system
  • Brass or stainless steel body construction for durability and corrosion resistance
  • High-pressure and temperature-resistant glass element
  • Available with screw, solder, or flanged connection options
  • Compact design requiring minimal installation space
  • Compatible with common refrigerants such as R22, R134a, R404A, and R410A
Application Areas
  • Commercial and industrial refrigeration systems
  • Cold rooms, chillers, and display coolers
  • Air conditioning systems and heat pumps
  • Condenser outlet and liquid line monitoring points
  • Ideal for installation after filter driers for flow and moisture inspection
