Neutronics, Inc. announced the Legend Series refrigerant analyzer to support technicians with accurate determinations of automotive refrigerant purity in storage cylinders and vehicle air conditioning systems. The Legend Series refrigerant analyzer is certified to SAEJ2912 to check for automotive refrigerant types R-12, R-134a, and R-1234yf. This refrigerant analyzer ensures vehicle OEMs and shop owners meet requirements for safe refrigerant practices. By providing accurate determinations of refrigerant purity inside vehicle air conditioning systems or refrigerant cylinders, the Legend Series is a single tool for use in all automotive refrigerant analysis applications.
Refrigerant counterfeiting, cross-contamination, and illegal retrofitting are serious concerns for vehicle OEMs and shop owners alike and the high cost of R-1234yf makes it a prime target for these illegal activities. With over 84 million R-1234yf vehicles on the road (according to the company), the Legend Series helps protect shop owners, refrigerant supplies, A/C service equipment, and customers’ vehicles.
Enhanced capabilities and useful features of the Legend Series include:
- Certified to SAEJ2912 – ensures requirements for safe practices.
- Tests for R-12, R-134a, and R-1234yf – one instrument for all stages of use for both current and legacy refrigerants.
