The most common method is to bring the mouth of the ammonia bottle close to the chlorine bottle and check for any white smoke; the presence of such smoke indicates a leak
We often use wet cotton yarn soaked in ammonia solution to check for leaks; by observing whether white smoke appears, we can determine if there is a leak.
You can smell the odor of chlorine leakage from a distance. As mentioned by several people above, to locate the leak, soak cotton cloth in ammonia solution and use it to check for leaks, looking for any white smoke. During the vaporization of liquid chlorine, a major concern is the failure of the steam control valve and the liquid chlorine control valve. Excessively high water temperature can lead to the rupture of the pipes surrounding the vaporizer, while a failed liquid chlorine control valve can result in excessively high vaporization pressure.
Testing for leaks with ammonia is the most basic method
