Periodic refueling with a refrigerant is required for any air conditioner; for its implementation, equipment for filling air conditioners is necessary.
Where to buy equipment for refueling air conditioners?
Specialized firms are engaged in the sale of equipment for servicing HVAC equipment. As a rule, they also implement the technique itself. Almost every such company has its own website on the Internet. Therefore, you can buy equipment for refueling the air conditioner without leaving the monitor. The price of equipment for refueling air conditioners depends on the manufacturer. But in this case, it is better not to save and take high-quality equipment.
To prepare the air conditioner for refueling, you may need the following:
- compressor;
- installation for evacuation;
- UV lamp;
- leak detectors.
The equipment for refueling air conditioners includes:
- manometric manifold with hoses;
- cylinder with freon;
- electronic scales for freon;
- filling cylinder.
Manometric manifolds are required to control the pressure in the system during the filling process.
Collectors are made of brass or aluminum. They can be two- or four-valve. There are universal collectors that are suitable for working with any type of freon, but there are specialized ones. A manometer and a manifold body can be purchased separately. They vary in outlet diameter and type of refrigerant.
Some manufacturers add 0.9 meters to the kit and standard length hoses. Attached 2 or 3 hoses. You can purchase hoses separately. Rubber gaskets in the form of a cuff are required for filling hoses.
Convenient collectors with a sight glass, the price of equipment for refueling air conditioners depends on the configuration and quality of materials.
If disposable refrigerant cylinders are used, a special puncture for the cylinder must also be purchased. If the cylinder is planned to be divided into several gas stations, you will need a shut-off valve on the cylinder.
High-pressure valves are required for refueling climate systems operating on R134a freon. Through them, hoses connect to service ports.
Freon electronic scales
Before buying equipment for refueling air conditioners, it is important to clarify the list of everything you need.
Freon scales are used when refueling air conditioners by weight. They are only electronic. The scales are packed in a plastic case and are very convenient for transportation. There are scales with a maximum load of 50, 70 and 100 kilograms.
