Glossary

 

 

Recovery phase:

 The refrigerant is extracted from the vehicle 

air conditioning system, cleaned and routed into the internal 
bottle of the ACX2180H. The refrigerant oil collected in the 
process is drained into the used oil bottle at the ACX2180H. 

 

Vacuum phase:

 A vacuum is generated in the vehicle air con-

ditioning system. Measurement of the drop in pressure begins as 
soon as the vacuum has been generated. 

 

Charging phase: 

A certain quantity of refrigerant is added to the 

vehicle air conditioning system.
