When working on any air conditioning system, the ability to pull a hard vacuum to remove all moisture from the system is critical. One of the best tools available to the A/C technician is the Robinair 15600 two-stage vacuum pump. This article will take a look at why this AC pump is so useful, and will end by showing you where you can save a lot of money if you want to buy a new Robinair 15600.
Why We Need an A/C Vacuum Pump
Our main goal in A/C service is to ensure that all air and water have been removed from the system before it is recharged with fresh refrigerant and the appropriate amount of lubricant. Water and air are enemies of cooling efficiency. Both are very difficult for the compressor to actually compress, leading to flow restrictions in the system. Water threatens to freeze up the evaporator core and reacts corrosively with the refrigerant charge, leading to expensive and difficult repairs. On many cars, replacing an evaporator core is a nightmare, requiring many hours of labor to remove the dash for access.
