Warranty Category: M

Features/Benefits

* Used to recover, recycle, and recharge air conditioning units

* Dual-station unit handles both R-12 and R-134a refrigerants

* UL listed and meets industry's standard for purity of recycled refrigerant

* Dual manifolds allows completion of all service work with just one vehicle hook-up

* Microprocessor controls evacuation time and amount of refrigerant put into system

* Refrigerant is recycled during evacuation (tank is always clean and ready to reuse)

* Any air in tank is automatically purged during recycling

* Typical recharge takes just 30 seconds and automatic shut-off allows personnel to do other service work

* Key pad messages indicate when to change filter drier and pump oil

* Enviro-Charge Plus/tm/ is ideal for retrofits. Recover R-12, and while unit is clearing, replace fittings and components. Once station is cleared, system can be recharged with R-134a.

* Quick and easy operation - display prompts operator through each step of programming

* Unit comes with instructional videotape

Typical air conditioner refrigerant unit

(1) Oil-less compressor: Heavy-duty, 1/3 hp compressor eliminates problems of mixing different refrigerants and their oils.

(2) Quick change filter drier: Specially blended to remove moisture and contaminants; replace entire canister for fast changeovers.

(3) Heat exchanger/oil separator: Removes oil and other condensibles from refrigerant.

(4) VacuMaster® vacuum pump: Has capacity and power to reach deep vacuum conditions necessary for thorough evacuation.

(5) Front casters: Provide greater maneuverability and make it easy to position unit near vehicle.

(1) Refrigerant-type switch: Just flip switch to select refrigerant; it also signals clearing to prevent mixing of refrigerants.

(2) Refrigerant tanks: Comes with two 14 kg (30 lb) tanks, one for R-12 and one for R-134a. Tank hoses remain connected at all times.

(3) Two scales: One for R-12 and one for R-134a (always ready to use either refrigerant); charging is done by weight for greatest accuracy.

(4) Heavy-duty cart: Strong tubular steel cart has extra heavy-duty wheels (moves easily between vehicles).
