Air conditioning service equipment represents a significant investment for workshops

It gets even more expensive when you need to have two machines – one for R134a and another for R1234yf refrigerant.
With the growing number of vehicles in Australia using R1234yf, workshops must have compatible A/C service equipment to manage this work.
Until recently, ADRAD explains that operators were forced to buy machines that were dedicated to one type of refrigerant or the other.
But now, it says the ThinkCar AC200 is a game-changer, with this next-generation refrigerant recovery and recharge machine built for modern workshops servicing both R134a and R1234yf systems.
It features dual independent tanks, hoses, and couplers, plus a one-button gas switch for quick changeovers.
Guided by an intelligent operating system, the AC200 delivers speed, accuracy, and safety with a simple, intuitive user experience.
ADRAD reports that this machine seamlessly integrates recovery, vacuum, leak testing, refilling, and data printing, making it a complete A/C service solution for passenger vehicles and light commercial fleets.
Operating in fully automatic mode, technicians can use preset parameters for fully automatic recovery, vacuum, and recharge. Semi-automatic modes are also available to perform recovery, vacuum, charge, or flush without running a full cycle.

Service both R134A / R1234YF
The Thinkcar AC200 provides a dual refrigerant system (R134a and R1234yf) with two independent tanks which allow quick switching between refrigerants without cross-contamination or the need for separate machines.
ADRAD explains that this ability to seamless switch from one refrigerant to another makes it an ideal choice for a small workshop and a very effective way for equipping larger multi-machine workshops.
The Thinkcar AC200 is designed for easy-to-use intuitive operation and a large LED-lit viewing window provides clear refrigerant monitoring. There is also a built-in micro-printer for generating instant job reports.
Further, this versatile machine is said to be packed with helpful resources including a built-in upgradable vehicle database, and integrated software provides the required refrigerant type and recommended fill quantities for most vehicles.
For enhanced safety and reliability, there is an automatic shutoff and alarm functions to prevent charging errors – protecting both the vehicle and the machine.
