100kg Refrigerant Charging Scale
This high-capacity refrigerant charging scale is designed for HVAC technicians working on automotive air conditioning, domestic air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It allows you to accurately measure refrigerant during charging, recovery and tank-to-tank transfer.
The scale has a maximum capacity of 100 kg (220 lb), making it suitable for use with larger refrigerant cylinders. The platform can be zeroed before charging or recovery so you can monitor exactly how much refrigerant has been removed from or added to the cylinder.
Unlike wireless refrigerant charging scales, this model uses a wired hand-piece controller. This avoids the need to rely on a wireless connection and gives you a clear reading while working around the vehicle, air conditioning unit or refrigerant cylinder.
Why use a refrigerant charging scale?
Correct refrigerant charge is important for the safe and efficient operation of an AC or refrigeration system. Too much or too little refrigerant can reduce cooling performance and may increase pressure or place additional load on the compressor.
A charging scale allows you to measure the refrigerant by weight instead of estimating the amount from pressure readings alone. This is especially useful when the equipment manufacturer specifies an exact refrigerant charge.
The scale can also be used during refrigerant recovery to monitor how much refrigerant has been removed from the system. It is useful for checking the amount remaining in a cylinder and for measuring refrigerant during a tank-to-tank transfer.
How to use the scale
- Place the scale on a stable and level surface.
- Place the refrigerant cylinder centrally on the platform.
- Connect the wired hand-piece controller and select the required unit.
- Zero the scale before starting the charging, recovery or transfer process.
- Monitor the display to measure the amount of refrigerant added to or removed from the cylinder.
Always follow the air conditioning equipment manufacturer’s instructions and use the correct refrigerant, hoses and charging equipment for the system.
