Tech Tip: Future Refrigerant Options Help Environment, Pose Unique Problems
There has been a lot of discussion lately about the future of automotive refrigerants and their impact on the environment. Ozone depletion is no longer the main concern; now it’s global warming. Last year was the warmest year on record. Average temperatures all across the globe are on the rise, as are ocean temperatures. Arctic and Antarctic areas that are normally covered with ice during winter months are becoming ice-free. The frequency and intensity of ….

Refrigerant Identifier from Robinair Protects Against Contamination
A significant number of automotive A/C systems are contaminated with a mixture of R-12, HFC-134a, R-22, hydrocarbons, propane, butane and isobutene, according to Robinair, which is announcing its new DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier (P/N 16009). The DiscovR was engineered specifically to ….
New Robinair DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier Protects Against Refrigerant Contamination and Recovery Equipment Damage
Robinair, a business unit of SPX Corporation, recently announced the availability of its new DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier designed to identify unknown refrigerants and uncover hard to find air contamination prior to servicing A/C systems. The innovative, state-of-the-art 16009 was engineered specifically to take the guesswork out of identifying refrigerant condition in A/C systems prior to servicing in order to reduce a technician’s chances of re-contaminating the vehicle being serviced and spreading the contaminated refrigerant to other vehicles.
A/C Tech Feature: The Future of R-134a
With all the talk about global warming and climate change, many people are wondering what the future holds for R-134a as an automotive refrigerant. R-134a was introduced back in the early 1990s as an "ozone safe" replacement for R-12. Unlike R-12, R-134a contains no chlorine, so it can’t harm the ozone layer that protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

Diagnostic Dilemmas
It’s Mechanical, Stupid! Just about every student of politics remembers President Bill Clinton’s famous campaign slogan, “It’s the economy, stupid!” Allow me to paraphrase by saying, “It’s mechanical, stupid!” Yes, that’s right, mechanical failures can cause diagnostic trouble codes and, all too often, we tread the Primrose Path because we become lost in a maze
