Neutronics Releases A/C Sealant Detection Kit

Neutronics Refrigerant Analysis, a manufacturer of automotive A/C service technology, has released the QuickDetect A/C Sealant Detection Kit to help service providers check for the presence of sealant in mobile A/C systems. If the sealant is not detected beforehand, it can potentially damage the shop’s refrigerant identifiers and refrigerant recovery equipment. The QuickDetect kit includes an A/C coupler, hose, test cartridge and flow meter, and works on a very basic principle. When connected to the A/C system, it is designed to mimic a refrigerant leak. If sealant is present in the system, it will quickly solidify in the test cartridge and cause the flow meter to show “no flow.” Except for the low-cost test cartridges, which are disposable, all of the QuickDetect components are reusable. Additional cartridges are available separately. The QuickDetect kit, Model No. ACSD, works with both R-134A and R-12 systems and comes with everything needed for a quick and easy test, (10) test cartridges, R-134A and R-12 couplers, a test hose, flow meter, syringe, and detailed instructions in a custom molded carrying case. Replacement cartridges are available separately in a 25-piece package, Model No. ACSD-25. Neutronics Refrigerant Analysis www.refrigerantid.com
