The vacuum pump is a key part of the equipment needed to service an AC system for system efficiency, removing air and unwanted moisture from the refrigerant system.
This essential tool is now cordless
Without vacuum removal of air and water vapour, acids can be produced leading to potential damage of the internal hose barrier and corrosion of pipes, condensers and evaporators. In the long run, it will lead to a costly, and very avoidable replacement of the compressor, as well as unnecessary failures in the filter drier and expansion valve.
You most likely have a trusted vacuum pump by your side for many of your service jobs, and it does a good job, but it can be cumbersome. The cord isn’t always long enough and then, there’s the times you’re out on-site with no power.
This is where the latest innovation in cordless vacuum pumps come to the fore
It's not only convenient, it’s safer not to be tethered to a plug when working at heights, and it means you can get the job done first time, no matter where you are.
Cordless vacuum pumps are light weight, compatible to many of the big brand batteries and thanks to improvements in battery and charger technology, they hold charge longer and we’re seeing increasingly powerful motors. It’s no surprise that carpentry and other construction trades now favour cordless drills, nail guns and other cordless tools.
The JAVAC cordless vacuum pump has been tested to 50 minutes of battery life and takes just 65 minutes for full charge. It boasts a motor speed of 2000 rpm, has a shut off valve to avoid any nasty contaminations and weighs in at only 3.5kgs. Check out the full product listing here
So whether you’re an early adopter of new technology, or someone who takes a considered approach to the tools they use, we recommend a good hard look at a cordless vacuum pump as addition to your tool kit. Perfect as a spare in case your current vacuum pump bites the dust at short notice!
