Automated gas service

Updating your equipment to take advantage of air conditioning means you can also take advantage of changes in technology, especially the addition of a gas analyser which can detect the refrigerant coming out of a vehicle and reducing the chance of contamination.

Blyth Equipment is able to offer a range of air conditioning equipment including single and dual gas analysers. The company is a Texa distributor selling the 780R dual gas machine for R134a and R1234yf refrigerants. The entire service procedure is completely automatic thanks to hermetically sealed oil tanks, a scale locking and release system and automatic refrigerant weighing.

The 780R diagnosis and service station even implements a special procedure to clean all its internal circuits during refrigerant servicing. The machine carries out the flushing procedure automatically in order to clean out the system when changing from one refrigerant to the other.
