The SMAN460 is the newest digital manifold on offer from Fieldpiece. There is not much this manifold can’t handle, that’s for sure.
The Fieldpiece SMAN460 can measure two temperatures and two pressures. With this information, the manifold can calculate Superheat, Subcool, Target Superheat, and Liquid / Vapor Saturation.
Summer is in full bore and there is no better time to discuss Testo’s 550 Refrigerant System Analyzers. These analyzers are a great upgrade for any technician who is not currently using a RSA.
First off, this unit is preprogrammed for 34 refrigerants instead of the 3 gasses most manifold gauges are calibrated for. This gives you a lot of relief of not having the right tool for the job. Another benefit of the Testo 550 Refrigerant System Analyzer is that all the information is displayed on a single screen.
Hello all. Today we are going to have a look at a relatively easy to use product that saves you the headache of having to do complex math on the job – the Yellow Jacket 69196 SuperHeat SubCool Calculator. For those who don’t know, superheat is the degrees a vapor is above its boiling point at a certain pressure and the subcool value is the number of degrees below the boiling point.
Are you still using your Brass 2-Valve Manifold and gauges to analyze refrigerant systems? Do you enjoy picking up some brontosaurus ribs with the family? You might be living in the Stone Age where life is unnecessarily harder than it should be. Now I am not saying you should forgo all things analog and fully submerge yourself into a digital lifestyle, but when it comes to HVAC work, a little bit of shiny new tech never killed anyone. I am referring to a recent trend in refrigeration analysis that utilizes a digital manifold.
