The ToolL: Ultima ID

摘要

The ultima ID is a new refrigerant identifier offered by Neutronics. The tool itself weighs 8 pounds, and it requires 12 to 15 volts, obtained either through clip-leads to the vehicle battery (standard) or an optional, rechargeable internal battery pack. A filter is located on the unit's front panel and turns red when it needs to be replaced.rnAccording to the company, Ultima ID Model No. RI-2004DX uses dispersive infrared technology to determine the weight concentrations of R-12, R-134a, R-22, hydrocarbons and air. It has separate lines for hookup to R-12 and R-134a systems; it also detects the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP)-approved" blends. It also is capable of detecting blends and replacements including propane and butane.
