From 1st January 2011 all newly type approved vehicles must adopt a new refrigerant (R1234yf) as part of their air conditioning systems under European legislation.

 

This new refrigerant with a lower environmental impact, will progressively replace the current R134a, which may still be used by manufacturers until the end of 2016 on vehicles already type approved.
Workshops will need to work with both refrigerants for a period of time. Workshops therefore have two options:

 

• Acquire two separate service stations
• they can purchase a single service station that can operate simultaneously with both refrigerants.

 

The new R1234yf refrigerant is classified as ‘highly flammable’ therefore the new service stations for vehicle AC systems must adhere to specific restrictions in order to guarantee the operator’s safety during vehicle system maintenance.

 

KONFORT 700 series recharge stations are designed for the diagnosis, maintenance and recharging of air conditioning systems in cars, heavy goods vehicles and buses. The series comprises six models.
The KONFORT series has been designed and developed by TEXA, whose engineers searched for new solutions to provide maximum functionality.

 

The KONFORT is an innovative range of service stations which has eight International patents. The components used have exceptional features, which guarantee 95% efficiency for refrigerant recovery.

KONFORT recharge stations are designed for maximum ease of use. With this in mind, the control console features two large gauges that are clearly visible even from a distance, plus a monitor that ensures optimal visibility in any lighting conditions.
The console also includes a series of LEDs in different colours to identify the various operating phases.

 

To the monitor’s side is a SD card reader which contains the vehicle database and allows service records to be stored.
The KONFORT series is produced via a highly advanced automated production system, which provides constant quality checks during the assembly phases in order to guarantee maximum quality and efficiency.
