Air Conditioning is no longer an optional feature on luxury cars – it is now fitted as standard to most vehicles, from the smallest city-car to big trucks, buses, and industrial vehicles.
Due to this increased popularity, it is now almost impossible to avoid working on Air Conditioning systems on modern vehicles. Even a relatively simple engine repair might involve the need to disconnect some of the air conditioning pipework, or to remove the compressor.
Since the refrigerant inside the system is harmful to the environment, and also can cause severe frostbite in contact with skin, it is necessary to have a means of removing the refrigerant from the vehicle safely. Since the customer would be more than a little annoyed if their Air Conditioning stopped working because you’d “fixed” their engine, it then becomes necessary to put the gas back in afterwards!
It is now very simple to get an Air Conditioning Service Machine to do these functions for you, as well as vacuuming the system to remove any air and moisture, and replacing any PAG oil if necessary. A fully automatic machine will do these things for you in one continuous process, or will hold your hand to do the steps individually if you prefer.
Not all Air Conditioning Service Machines are the same though. Major progress has been made in recent years, meaning that newer machines are easier and quicker to use, and will recover more refrigerant with less leakage to the atmosphere.
You can also get the option of built in “Saniflux” purification systems, refrigerant identification, nitrogen pressure testing, and on-board diagnostics.
For those vehicles which take a larger volume of refrigerant (such as trucks, buses, and coaches), you can purchase a high-capacity machine with rapid-charge pumps to make the process easier.
