Hello refrigeration enthusiasts! Today’s post is going to take a look at a mid-level leak detector from Inficon that provides a great balance of features that bridges the gap between the budget and deluxe models – the Inficon Compass Refrigerant Leak Detector 717-202-G1. This unit is an upgrade from the TEK-Mate unit I reviewed previously and uses some similar technology but also offers upgraded features.

Greetings. Today we’ll have a look at a relatively simple product that fits any budget and does a solid job – the Inficon TEK-Mate Refrigerant Leak Detector 705-202-G1. For those new to this area, Inficon is a company that is famous for its leak detection technology and is at the forefront of research and development in this area.

The Inficon TEK-Mate is a moderately priced option in their line that operates with heated-diode technology for tried and true results.

Vacuum Gauges are very important tools that assist you during any HVAC job where you are evacuating a system. When you pull a vacuum on a system to completely “dry” a system and remove all contaminants it is important to know if everyone is working as intended. This is where the Yellow Jacket eVac I and eVac II Digital Vacuum Gauge earn their stripes. The eVac I is the bare bones variety of vacuum gauges but that does not mean it is junky. This gauge is more than adequate as it can read a range between 0 – 25,000 microns with a 1 micron resolution.

Hello all. Today we are going to have a look at a relatively easy to use product that saves you the headache of having to do complex math on the job – the Yellow Jacket 69196 SuperHeat SubCool Calculator. For those who don’t know, superheat is the degrees a vapor is above its boiling point at a certain pressure and the subcool value is the number of degrees below the boiling point.

The Fluke Ti90 and Ti95 Infrared Cameras are no longer manufactured.

 Hello all. This week we’ll have a look at the new line of Fluke cameras (Fluke Ti90 and Fluke Ti95) that make use of the new Fluke Connect Wireless app and are the only infrared cameras in the price class that offer any kind of wireless communication. Let’s have a quick look at the specs and then a glance at the wireless capabilities.

Greetings. Today we’re going to take a look at a line of Bacharach products designed for the analysis of refrigerants used in HVAC work. We will have a look first at the model on the lower end of the price spectrum and then show the more advanced model and see what that extra bang you get for the buck.

Are you still using your Brass 2-Valve Manifold and gauges to analyze refrigerant systems? Do you enjoy picking up some brontosaurus ribs with the family? You might be living in the Stone Age where life is unnecessarily harder than it should be. Now I am not saying you should forgo all things analog and fully submerge yourself into a digital lifestyle, but when it comes to HVAC work, a little bit of shiny new tech never killed anyone. I am referring to a recent trend in refrigeration analysis that utilizes a digital manifold.
