A/C Flushing

Clean Working - It pays to flush

Professional service on automotive A/C systems naturally also includes flushing the system to clear away aggressive substances and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit. Flushing protects all parts of the air conditioner from damage, especially the compressor being its core component after the compressor has been replaced.

You will never get a hundred per cent clean refrigerant circuit, this because of the parallel flow evaporator technology commonly used these days. We strictly recommend you to add a chip filter to the suction line when you flush the system after the system have been flushed. This will protect the compressor and is especially advisable when you’ve replaced the compressor, as it will keep the remaining particles away from the newly fitted unit.

Important note: The filter (Ref. No. 8880700246) should be replaced after every flushing process (for each vehicle) of the flushing devise!

Safe and fast flushing – with the A/C service unit and the flush container connected to it

• Spares you the time and effort required to preheat the refrigerant bottle
• No need to illegally remove the refill blocking device as would be required with other methods
• No additional equipment (e.g. two refrigerant bottles) required!
• Automatic processes controlled via the A/C service unit avoid operating errors
• Approved by renowned vehicle manufacturers

Some manufacturers offer flushing kits which work without an A/C service unit. Please consider the following facts:

1. Time factor: Refrigerant bottle has to be heated up to 70 °C, takes about 1.5 – 2 hours.
2. Extra work: Collector tank must be placed in a cold water container when ambient temperatures are high.
3. Safety factor: The refill device and the residual pressure safety device on the refrigerant bottle must be removed for this method; the bottle system has no ground point.
