Optimal Car Air Conditioning Refrigerant Recovery Machines for Efficient Auto Maintenance

January 20, 2025

This post will discuss car air conditioning refrigerant (gas) recovery machines. This post will share criteria for selecting reasonable products.

The use of air conditioners is increasing, especially in cars. Since cars are directly exposed to the outdoors, the importance of maintaining a proper air conditioning system is growing. Proper maintenance is essential for comfortable driving and interior space.

Car air conditioners have a complex structure, and at the core of it is the correct injection of air conditioning refrigerant (gas). Service centers or maintenance shops recover and inject refrigerant for various reasons, not just because the air conditioner isn’t cooling properly.

Recovering all the refrigerant left in the vehicle and injecting the correct amount according to the vehicle’s specifications may seem simple, but errors can occur depending on the refrigerant recovery/injection equipment used.

For accuracy, minimizing customer waiting time, and maximizing the efficiency and productivity of the maintenance site, the process should be simple and fast.

To address the rough designs, error margins, slow working speeds, complex operations, and poor cost-effectiveness of existing products, Snap-on Inc., a manufacturer specializing in automotive repair tools and equipment founded in 1925 in Wisconsin, USA, is providing four optimal solutions for car air conditioning refrigerant recovery machines in the domestic market.

  • R-134a (old refrigerant) dedicated
  • HFO-1234yf (new refrigerant) dedicated
  • Dual refrigerant recovery machines supporting both refrigerants
  • A recovery machine with a flushing function added to the dual refrigerant recovery machine

The four models developed to meet the demanding needs of maintenance sites are as follows:

Blue-Point Air Conditioner Gas (Old Refrigerant) Recovery Machine BLPAC300A

This image shows a recovery machine dedicated to R-134a, known as old refrigerant. It offers superior basic performance such as high refrigerant recovery efficiency (over 95%) and high accuracy (±10g). Additional features include refrigerant leak tests, flushing, a 7-inch digital touchscreen display, an automatic oil injection system with over 80% oil replacement rate, and a built-in printer. It supports a database of over 20,000 car models, ensuring accurate and convenient work. Its sleek design also enhances the workplace and boosts customer trust.

Blue-Point Air Conditioner Gas New Refrigerant Recovery Machine BLPAC300YF

This product has the same specifications as the R-134a model but is dedicated to HFO-1234yf (new refrigerant).

Blue-Point Car Air Conditioner Dual Refrigerant Recovery Machine BLPAC300DU

The BLPAC300DU model supports both R-134a and HFO-1234yf refrigerants simultaneously. It offers the same features in terms of accuracy, recovery efficiency, oil replacement, and printing but features a larger 10-inch touchscreen display. Note that the flushing function is not included in this model.

Blue-Point Car Air Conditioner Gas Charger BLPAC300DUF

The BLPAC300DUF model supports both R-134a and HFO-1234yf refrigerants simultaneously and includes a flushing function. It offers impressive basic performance, such as high refrigerant recovery efficiency (over 95%) and high accuracy (±10g), refrigerant leak tests, flushing, a 10-inch digital touchscreen display, an automatic oil injection system with over 80% oil replacement rate, and a built-in printer. It also supports a database of over 20,000 car models for accurate and convenient work. Its sleek design enhances the workplace and increases customer trust.

Blue-Point aim to provide high-quality products at reasonable prices. They are working to address the inconveniences or deficiencies of existing equipment, ultimately satisfying end customers, equipment users, client companies, and resellers.
