If the test result is satisfactory, the system is depressurized, packed and sent to the sales department.

At authorized Supra retailers, you can select a household wall-mounted air conditioner (Supra EDC 09HA), a semi-industrial unit (model SUPRA AC-CU150) or a mobile climate system (SUPRA MS12BC).
