Neutronics for Refrigerant Identification

Neutronics was founded in 1976 by Terry Halpern with a focus on producing products for the measurement and control of oxygen and other gases for safety, environmental, and general industrial applications. They quickly became the established leader in refrigerant identifiers for the global automotive and HVACR industries.
Mobile Air Conditioning service is always evolving. One of the latest advances is the use of R-1234yf refrigerant to cool a vehicles cabin. Prior to the introduction of R-1234yf, mechanics were servicing vehicles equipped with R-12 or R- 134a. But with the high ozone depletion potential (ODP) nature of R-12 and the high global warming potential (GWP) of R-134a came an industry demand for something more environmentally sustainable.
With tens of millions of vehicles equipped with R-123yf falling out of warranty each year, it is imperative for technicians to have the tools required to service these vehicles.

New Regulations Require New Tools
With the adoption of this new refrigerant comes new regulations and required tools. One of the newest tools in a mechanics kit will be the use of a refrigerant identifier. Prior to recovering refrigerant for A/C service a mechanic will need  to complete a refrigerant analysis to confirm refrigerant quality.
The Importance of Refrigerant Identification In a perfect world the vehicle manufacturer’s installed refrigerant would be the only refrigerant you would expect to find under the hood. However, refrigerant contamination can occur at any  point after the vehicle leaves the production line and can lead to:

• Cooling loss
• Seal swelling
• A/C System degradation
• Mechanic or vehicle operator risk

Be Safe. Be Certain.
Whether the refrigerant is incorrect, or mixed, the only way to be certain of what refrigerant is in that system is to test the gas.
Refrigerant identifiers are the only sure way to confirm quality before completing automotive A/C service. Refrigerant identifiers protect the mechanic, your equipment, and ensure the service is done right.
Refrigerant tampering in new vehicles utilizing R-1234yf is considered emissions tampering, and analyzing the refrigerant in the vehicle confirms emission standards are met, and A/C systems are serviced correctly.

SAE standards for R-1234yf service tools
SAE International, initially established as the Society of Automobile Engineers and later becoming the Society of Automotive Engineers, is a US- based, globally active professional association and standards developing organization for  engineering professionals in various industries. With the introduction of R-1234yf, SAE established new standards for servicing vehicles with R-1234yf. These new standards require a SAE J2843™ or SAE J3030™ approved A/C Service  Machine (RRR), a SAE J2913™ Leak Detector, a SAE J2912™ or SAE J2927™ refrigerant analyzer, and a SAE J2851™ recovery machine.
Built-in refrigerant identifiers or hand-held?
Neutronics EID series
These are SAE J2927™ and SAE J2912™ certified refrigerant analyzers that are built into RRR A/C Service Machine. This simplifies the whole process and creates one system to both identify, recover, recycle and recharge the refrigerant  during A/C Servicing.
Hand-held refrigerant identifiers:
Neutronics Legend ID A SAE J2912™ portable refrigerant analyzer that provides a little more flexibility in the shop. This device allows you to have multiple recovery machines (without built-in identifiers), and take one analyzer machine  to machine, rather than lugging around one machine from bay to bay. The hand-held devices allow technicians to pre-check vehicles, without having to connect the RRR service cart, reducing evaluation time and helping to sort vehicles  before servicing.

PART NUMBER
P/N 7-08-1234-40-0

The Legend Series™ HFC Refrigerant Analyzer enables fast, accurate testing of refrigerant, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming gas chromatography. Confirming a refrigerant is the right gas before service or use will ensure all systems effectively operate while protecting the customer and the technician. The use of a refrigerant analyzer creates a cleaner recovery process and reduces the amount of mixed gas recovered. Reducing mix gas recovery will ultimately cut down on the amount of refrigerant that must be destroyed which helps improve the industry’s ecological footprint.
A refrigerant analyzer is a valuable tool to safeguard users and equipment, while promoting recycling and reuse to protect the environment.
The Legend Series™ HFC is the most advanced refrigerant analyzer in the market and provides the latest in NDIR technology to support refrigerant testing before use. Reduce the uncertainty and analyze every refrigerant before handling  so you can ensure you are safeguarding yourself, your equipment, and the environment to certify the job is done right.
