New Robinair DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier protects against refrigerant
Robinair, a business unit of SPX Corporation, has announced the availability of its new DiscovR Refrigerant Identifier (P/N 16009) designed to identify unknown refrigerants and uncover hard-to-find air contamination prior to servicing A/C systems.

This also helps prevent the contamination of a shop’s costly R134a supply, damage and warranty loss on recovery equipment, lost service profits, and even risk of injury, the company says.
