The A/C service technology of the future. From the beginning of next year Europe’s automotive manufacturers will be obliged to use an environment-friendly refrigerant in the A/C systems of their vehicles – without any ifs and buts. “Environment-friendly refrigerants”, says the EU regulation, are refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 150. As a result, the new, relatively expensive R 1234yf refrigerant is going to be introduced in all new vehicle models to be registered in Europe. » Read more

Avoid costly damage. The fact that over 90 percent of today’s cars and commercial vehicles is fitted with an air conditioning system makes A/C service a reliable cash machine for automotive workshops. Air conditioner maintenance is not only a good basis for successful business operations, it also protects customers from costly repairs. With the correct amount of refrigerant in the system, the compressor is properly cooled and lubricated thanks to the oil contained in the coolant. If there is too little refrigerant in the circuit, though, the system’s core component – the compressor – cannot be cooled and lubricated sufficiently. Serious compressor damage and chip formation can be the results of this deficiency. » Read more
