This set typically includes two primary gauges: one for the high-pressure side (usually connected to the liquid line) and one for the low-pressure side (connected to the suction line). The high-pressure gauge measures the pressure of the refrigerant as it leaves the condenser, while the low-pressure gauge measures the pressure as the refrigerant enters the evaporator.
Key features of a Manifold Gauge Set in air conditioning and refrigeration systems include:
Accuracy: High-precision gauges ensure accurate readings, which is critical for system performance and safety.
Durability: Constructed with durable materials to withstand the rigors of professional use in the field.
Ease of Use: Often includes features such as backlit displays for visibility in various lighting conditions and easy-to-read scales.
Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with a range of refrigerants commonly used in HVAC/R systems.
Additional Tools: Some sets come with additional tools like hose connectors and a manifold station, which can be used for charging, evacuating, and recovering refrigerant.
Safety: Incorporates safety features to prevent refrigerant leaks and ensure the safe handling of the system.
