Schnell-Tipp #14: Absaugen Es ist wahr: die Größe Ihres Schlauchs ist wichtig. Wenn es sich um das Absaugen handelt. 14_Evacuation_TimeYou have a lot of jobs to fit into a day, so it's important to be as efficient as possible. Some things you can control, like the types of tools you use. And others, you can't. Like how long it takes to evacuate a system. Or can you? Hi. It's Paul again. While it's true that evacuating a system is an inherently time consuming process, there are a few things you can do that may help speed it up. The one step that has the biggest impact on evacuation time is the removal of schrader cores. A schrader core restricts the line, so once it's removed, the line opens up, which speeds up the process Another factor that makes a difference in evacuation time is hose length. The shorter the hose and the bigger the diameter, the faster the evacuation. As our in-house lab tests show, reducing the length of a quarter inch hose by just three feet will cut evacuation time by 40% And if you add a 3/8 inch hose to the mix, you'll save an additional 35%, evacuating down to 800 microns in a quarter of the time it would take with a quarter inch eight foot length yellow hose. Clearly, you can cut evacuation time by 75% or more using a shorter 3/8 inch hose. In order to use a 3/8 inch hose, however, you'll need a manifold with a 3/8 inch port, like these Titan and Brute II four valve manifolds from YELLOW JACKET. They feature three quarter inch fittings for the red, yellow and blue hoses, plus a larger 3/8 inch fitting for the 3/8 inch 45 degree yellow hose. These manifolds feature larger bars, which offers some additional savings in evacuation time, and a sight glass that allows you to easily view refrigerant movement and condition during charging and recovery. If you don't have a manifold with a 3/8 inch fitting, look for a 3/8 inch adapter for your quarter inch fitting so you can take advantage of the time savings you'll realize with a 3/8 inch hose. That's it for now. Until next time, thanks for watching.
