Purchase of equipment for filling air conditioners

Periodic refrigerant charging is required for any air conditioner; for its implementation, air conditioning charging equipment is required.

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 filling an 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 money and take high-quality inventory.

To prepare the air conditioner for refueling, you may need the following:

• compressor;
• installation for evacuation;
• ultraviolet lamp;
• leak detectors.

Equipment for refueling air conditioners includes:

• gauge manifold with hoses;
• freon cylinder;
• electronic scales for freon;
• filling cylinder.

Gauge manifolds are necessary to control the pressure in the system during the filling process.

The 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, and there are specialized ones. You can purchase a pressure gauge and manifold housing separately. They differ in outlet diameters and refrigerant types.

Some manufacturers add to the kit and hoses with a standard length of 0.9 meters. Supplied with 2 or 3 hoses. Hoses can be purchased separately. The filling hoses require rubber cuffs.

Convenient manifolds 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 cylinder piercer must also be purchased. If the cylinder is planned to be divided into several fillings, you will need a stop valve for the cylinder.

High pressure valves are required for filling climate systems operating on R134a freon. Through them, the hoses are connected to the service ports.

Electronic scales for freon

Before purchasing equipment for refueling air conditioners, it is important to clarify the list of everything you need.

Freon scales are used when filling 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.
