5 Alternative refrigerants Alternative refrigerants: What happens when R134a is banned? In years to come, too: R 134a A/C service units will remain indispensable for everyday workshop needs! The introduction of alternative refrigerants in vehicle A/C systems has been a topic of discussion for some time now. Possibilities include the introduction of processes based on extremely high operating pressures (e.g. a CO2 system), but also alternatives such as the HFO-1234yf refrigerant. Vehicle manufacturers will be using alternative refrigerants by 2011 at the latest. From then on fluorocarbons such as R134 may no longer be used in newly built vehicles, following Commission Regulation (EC) No. 706/2007. For the everyday workshop routine this means that starting with the introduction of a new refrigerant regardless whether CO 2 or HFO-1234yf workshops (especially the brand-bound ones) will initially have to work with two different service systems. Likewise, the above mentioned regulation commits the vehicle industry to stop using R134a as a refrigerant for vehicle A/C systems (in new vehicles) from 1st January What does this regulation imply? The fact that even in year 2016 vehicle A/C systems containing R134a refrigerant are likely to be launched in the market means that workshops must be prepared to adapt their technical equipment and handle two different refrigerants. Taking an average service time of 20 years into account, vehicles using R134a refrigerant will be taken to workshops for maintenance and service until the end of 2036! This is why R134a A/C service stations will remain vitally important for workshops in future, too for twenty years and more! 4 5

11 A/C service units The benefits at a glance 1 No mistakes possible: fully automatic unit often copied, never matched! Units with manual check valves involve the risk of erroneously charging the air conditioner from the low pressure side. Automatic units are safer! Genuine automatic systems can be identified by the fact that they have no check valves. 2 Patented feeding system for fresh oil and UV additive Automotive manufacturers warn against using plastic containers because they let moisture into the oil. In ASC A/C service units fresh oil is stored moisture-free in laminate bags contained in protective metal cylinders. No blockage of valves, no solvent penetration! Automotive manufacturers specifications on the use of UV additives and PAG oils are met. 3 Integrated charging amount database The database contains many vehicle-specific data. The type of oil and the precise amount of oil and refrigerant to be used for specific vehicles are shown on the display. Updates are made available on a regular basis (WAECO flash memory card). New now is the option to create a personalised charging amount database for up to 100 vehicles. 4 NEW: Integrated refrigerant charging amount / recovery amount management The total amount of refrigerant charged or recovered can be displayed on the unit or printed out by the thermal printer. The data can be stored for 24 months. 5 NEW: Also suitable for modern-day hybrid vehicles ASC-series A/C service units are suitable for service work on modern-day hybrid vehicles of German make, because standard PAG oils are used here. Hybrid vehicles (or air conditioners) from Japanese manufacturers use ester oils. ASC units may be used here, too (check manufacturer s specifications). 6 Customised flushing process and flush bottle The flushing process, including its custom adaptation, is developed in cooperation with the automotive industry. This results in an efficient and safe flushing process. 7 TÜV-approved refrigerant purity An official inspection certificate issued by TÜV Rheinland confirms that the effectiveness of the refrigerant cleaning function of WAECO A/C service units complies with the international SAE J 2099 / J 2210 directive. 8 NEW: Protected access with individual user codes To prevent unauthorised use of WAECO A/C service units, up to 10 user names can be programmed in combination with individual PIN codes. 9 NEW: Operational software available in more than 20 languages DE EN FR IT SR HR SL TR NL PT GL CA ES EU FI ET CS RO DA PL NO Contents, specifications and availability are subject to change serving the technical improvement

ASC series complies with SAE standard J 2788 The standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is valid for the USA, while it can also be found in the factory specifications of several German automotive manufacturers. What are the most significant requirements, and which are relevant for daily workshop operation? Requirements for SAE J 2788 approval: To comply with these requirements the WAECO team has modified the hardware and software of ASC-series units. Among other things, they have developed a new weighing platform. A/C service units meet tomorrow s requirements already today! The unit must be able to recover 95% of the refrigerant contained in the automotive air conditioner within 30 minutes, at ambient temperatures between 20 and 24 C. In other words, no more than 5% of the refrigerant may be left in the air conditioner. Refrigerant must be charged with an accuracy of +/- 15 g. Measurements must be made and displayed with an accuracy of +/- 30 g.

25 Center WAECO A/C service units: Compliance with new automotive industry requirements WAECO ASC A/C service stations are the first fully automatic units in the market with a host of quality features: Made in Germany // Patented feeding system for fresh oil and UV additive // Integrated charging amount database // Refrigerant purity according to SAE J 2099 / J 2210 // 8-bearing weighing technology The ASC series includes a matching unit for all applications: For entry-level needs: ASC 1000 For professional requirements: ASC 2000 For safety s sake: ASC 2000RPA with refrigerant analysis function For high-capacity charging: ASC 3000 for buses, rail cars and helicopters ASC-series units are also suitable for A/C service work on modern-day hybrid vehicle of German make. Engineered in Germany A/C service stations should therefore be selected considering the following: High refrigerant charging accuracy? Only with synchronised charging process! Electromagnetic block valve Synchronised charging process The synchronised charging process is clearly audible! A/C system noises? Check the charging level, by all means! Does the display really show the accurate amount of refrigerant which has been recovered? Yes but only if all components of the A/C service unit that refrigerant adheres to are weighed as well! Today s vehicle A/C systems have been developed to a very high technical standard. Consequently, A/C service stations are more and more becoming important measuring systems designed to safeguard A/C system functionality. Certain factors must be considered to realise this aim: The accurate observation of the refrigerant charging level, allowing for very low deviations, i.e. +/- 15 g The optimum oil balance, also with very low deviations, i.e. +/- 1 g. Disregarding these factors may have the following consequences: Performance loss of the vehicle A/C system (insufficient cooling capacity) Functional problems through overpressure shut-off (refrigerant charging level too high) Undesirable noise (caused by charging level too high or too low). Condenser Weighing cell Has to be weighed as well Too much or too little oil in the vehicle A/C system will inevitably cause problems. Therefore only use A/C service units with high charging level accuracy! How to find a system with high oil (UV additive) charging accuracy?

31 Flushing air conditioners with R134a The benefits of air conditioner flushing Prevents costly and annoying repeat repairs Reduces subsequent costs for the workshop Prevents problems with guarantee claims Enhances the workshop s A/C service package Recommendation for the workshop Working clean: It pays to flush! Professional service on automotive A/C systems naturally also includes flushing the system to clear away aggressive substances and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit. Flushing protects all parts of the air conditioner from damage, especially the compressor being its core component. You will never get a hundred per cent clean refrigerant circuit, though. This is because of the parallel flow evaporator technology commonly used these days. We strictly recommend you to add a chip filter to the suction line when you flush the system. This will protect the compressor and is especially advisable when you ve replaced the compressor, as it will keep the remaining particles away from the newly fitted unit. Important note: The chip filter ( ) should be replaced after every flushing process (for each vehicle)!
