SELECTING THE RIGHT A/C SERVICE STATION
Logicar says the Thinkcar AC200 ticks all the boxes

Selecting the right unit is not just about cost, it is about meeting technical demands.
The objective is to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and safety, while avoiding unnecessary expense on features that don’t add value.
A primary consideration is refrigerant compatibility. Most passenger vehicles use either R134a or R1234yf refrigerants.
Investing in a dual-compatible machine ensures long term usability as the industry transitions, eliminating the need to purchase separate units, says Logicar.
Equally important is the efficiency of the recovery and vacuum systems. The compressor and vacuum pump are the doers of the station.
A pump with a strong flow rate and a low ultimate pressure (measured in Pa) shortens service times and ensures thorough removal of contaminants, directly impacting system performance.
Safety controls should be standard in any modern unit. Automatic stop functions, error alarms, and pressure safeguards protect the technician, the vehicle, and the machine itself.
Another technical factor is the accuracy of refrigerant charging. Machines equipped with a built-in vehicle database can automatically match the correct refrigerant type and fill quantity, minimising errors.
Logicar says this feature is especially valuable for busy workshops handling a wide range of makes and models.
Operational visibility is also critical. Large LCD displays, transparent viewing windows, and LED illumination allow technicians to monitor progress in real time.
Integrated printers further support record keeping by documenting service data, materials used, and working hours.
Finally, Logicar says you should assess the machine’s core specifications.
Tank capacity, maximum working pressure, and operating temperature range determine how well the unit performs under varying conditions, while durability in these areas ensures the investment will meet daily demands without premature wear.
Logicar says balancing these technical requirements with budget considerations leads directly to the Thinkcar AC200.
With dual refrigerant compatibility, a 42L/min vacuum pump, integrated database, safety alarms, and a user-friendly interface, Logicar says the Thinkcar AC200 provides professional-grade performance without excessive cost.
For workshops seeking a reliable, technically advanced, and cost-efficient solution, Logicar says “the Thinkcar AC200 delivers on all fronts.”
