Publication name: ACTION
Publishing company: Mobile Air Conditioning Society

Please describe the publication's mission and readership:

ACTION is a automotive trade publication produced for the members of the mobile air conditioning industry and providing information relevant to the industry, including technical information.

Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Service technicians who work on mobile A/C systems (in cars, trucks, construction equipment and the like), have a wide variety of tools at their disposal to help them do their jobs. Some of these tools are easy to use and others need only simple instructions. A few require a bit more finesse and experience to achieve the full benefit, and fluorescent leak detection dyes and UV lights are two examples. A lot of science behind fluorescent leak detection technology is not well understood by many of those who use it. This prompted MACS to research the subject in-depth with the engineers, scientists, chemists and manufacturers who develop these tools, while also interviewing expert technicians who know how to get the most out of them.
