Neutronics Refrigerant Analysis, a leading innovator of automotive A/C service technology has just introduced its new advanced Mini ID Refrigerant Identifier for R134a, and is offering it for direct sale to shops and technicians.

Peter Coll, Neutronics Refrigerant Analysis sales manager, notes, “Our new Mini ID is not available through traditional distribution. In order to keep the cost down and make this valuable first line mobile A/C service tool as affordable as possible, we are offering it direct to the end user for online purchase, through a special website that we have developed at www.refrigerantid.net. Buying the new Mini ID is easy and secure, with quick turnaround and delivery.”

The new, low cost Neutronics Mini ID Refrigerant Identifier for R134a helps technicians to quickly verify the presence and quality of R134a refrigerant in vehicle air conditioning systems so they can avoid damage to their air conditioning service equipment from contaminated refrigerant. It also helps prevent the contamination of the shop’s 134a supply, warranty loss on recovery equipment, lost service profits, and even risk of injury.

The Mini ID delivers fast and accurate refrigerant analysis in a self-contained, compact and extremely portable package. The unit is rugged and very simple to use. It automatically provides step-by-step indication of the gas sampling process. “Pass" and ‘Fail" lights clearly show if refrigerant is pure enough to be recovered.

Prevents contamination, detects excessive air levels
The Mini ID can identify unknown refrigerants, such as illegal blends, propane, or butane, and even uncover hard-to-find air contamination. It is designed to take the guesswork out of identifying refrigerant condition in A/C systems prior to servicing and reduces the technician’s chances of re-contaminating the vehicle being serviced and spreading the contaminated refrigerant to other vehicles.

Refrigerant contamination a major concern for shops
According to Coll, “Refrigerant contamination is one of the biggest issues confronting our industry. The increasing cost of AC service, the lack of federal guidelines, and increasing DIY usage has opened the door to a variety of refrigerant substitutes that are not only potentially harmful to shops, but to the technicians as well. Today, you can’t afford to guess at the quality of refrigerant in the cars you service. You need to know exactly what’s in that AC system before you work on it.”

The new Neutronics Mini ID Refrigerant Identifier for R134a is only available for direct sale at www.refrigerantid.net.
