Tech Tip: Refrigerant identification ensures peace of mind

Feb. 27, 2016
The availability of contaminated and/or counterfeit refrigerants has greatly diminished in the last couple of years.

The availability of contaminated and/or counterfeit refrigerants has greatly diminished in the last couple of years. To ensure that you do not encounter these products, MAHLE Service Solutions offers a series of Refrigerant Identifier Systems for R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerants.

The ID1000 Pro works with the MAHLE Service Solutions ACX1180 series of A/C equipment for R-134a refrigerant. It will identify EPA SNAP-approved blend refrigerants. The ID1000 Pro will also alert you to percentages of R12, R134a, R22 and hydrocarbons like propane, butane and air. This unit contains a self-calibrating system that ensures at least 98 percent accuracy.

The ACX1280 series of A/C equipment from MAHLE Service Solutions specializes in servicing R-1234yf refrigerant. These units meet the new standards of mandatory refrigerant verification by utilizing either an internal or external identifier device similar to the ID1000 Pro.

MAHLE Service Solutions offers the R/R/R A/C units and identifiers to quickly determine refrigerant purity. This provides peace of mind because you know the vehicle you are working on does not contain uncontaminated refrigerant. This will help preserve your refrigerant recycling machine, the refrigerant stored in your machine and help keep your shop environment safe.
