Abstract
An inline acid detection apparatus for inhibition in an HVAC system including at least one line adapter, at least one passage adapter, and an inhibitor. The at least one line adapter is configured to mate with a refrigerant line on the HVAC system. The at least one passage adapter configured to couple to the second-diameter of the at least one line adapter. The at least one passage adapter allowing a process fluid to flow therethrough. The inhibitor is configured to stop the process fluid from passing through the inline acid detection apparatus. The inhibitor is actuated by a trigger mechanism. The trigger mechanism is configured to be actuated by an acid. The inline acid detection apparatus will shut down the HVAC system when the process fluid includes a threshold of the acid such that the trigger mechanism actuates the inhibitor.
