    摘要: A method for tracking amount of refrigerant added or removed from an HVAC/refrigeration system includes fluidly coupling a service tool with an inner volume of the refrigeration system. The service tool includes a reservoir that stores and discharges a refrigerant into the refrigeration system or receives the refrigerant from the refrigeration system, and a sensing portion positioned along a fluid flow path between the reservoir and the inner volume of the refrigeration system. The method includes operating the service tool to transfer an amount of refrigerant between the inner volume of the refrigeration system and the reservoir of the service tool. The method includes obtaining a signal from a sensor of the sensing portion indicative of a flow rate of the amount of refrigerant over a time period that the refrigerant is transferred. The method includes determining the amount of refrigerant based on the signal obtained from the sensor.

    摘要: A refrigerant replacement method for a refrigeration apparatus is intended to replace a first refrigerant charged into a refrigerant circuit of the refrigeration apparatus with a second refrigerant. The second refrigerant is used together with a refrigerating machine oil having a higher additive content by percentage than another refrigerating machine oil to be used together with the first refrigerant. The method includes: a refrigerant recovery step of recovering the first refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit; an oil charging step of additionally charging a refrigerating machine oil having a predetermined additive content by percentage into the refrigerant circuit; and a refrigerant charging step of charging the second refrigerant into the refrigerant circuit. The predetermined additive content by percentage is higher than the additive content by percentage of the refrigerating machine oil to be used together with the second refrigerant.

    摘要: A valve controller (1) for filling a refrigerating circuit with refrigerant includes a valve (2), a temperature sensor (3), a pressure sensor (4) and a controller (5). The controller (5) is configured to calculate a parameter from the measurement data of the temperature sensor (3) and/or the pressure sensor (4), and the controller (5) is further configured to activate the valve (2) until the calculated parameter has reached a target value.

    摘要: An ejector joint structure includes first and second connection members and an ejector. The first connection member has a head portion, a body portion, and a defined-through first channel. The first channel has a stepped portion and forms a thick section and a thin section. The body portion has a through-hole communicating with the thin section. The ejector is movably threaded in the first channel via an abutting rod. The abutting rod has a flange corresponding to the thick section and selectively abutted against the stepped portion to shield the first channel. The second connection member has a sleeve to enclose an outer periphery of the first connection member, and the second connection member is rotatable relative to the first connection member. The sleeve has a second channel communicating with the hollowed space. A sealing member is assembled between the sleeve and the body portion to seal the hollowed space.
