New A/C Refrigerant Handling System for HD Vehicles
Automotive equipment specialist MAHLE has introduced a new way to increase technician productivity in handling refrigerants for heavy duty (HD) vehicles with a fully-automatic program to recover, vacuum, leak test and charge without command for ease of operation.
Called the ArcticPRO® ACX1180C, it features an integrated test function that allows the user to capture a before-and-after service snapshot to ensure proper A/C system service functionality. High pressure leak detection and liquid refrigerant flushing are standard high performance features essential for heavy duty service.

In addition to recovering more than 95 percent of heavy duty A/C system refrigerant, the ACX1180C features a high capacity 50-lb internal DOT cylinder to service larger commercial vehicles. The unit also includes a 5 CFM vacuum pump, an integrated printer, an ambient humidity sensor, three temperature sensors, four pressure sensors, a vacuum micron sensor providing greater system diagnostic capabilities, a factory-installed heater belt and is hybrid certified.
