Refrigerant Charging Systems
for Commercial/Domestic Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

VTech’s refrigerant charging equipment is designed to meet the highest standards for speed and accuracy while providing a user-friendly interface and a large selection of optional features. We analyze each project based on the end user’s requirements and provide our expertise to optimize process and equipment applications.

VTech’s refrigerant charging boards can be supplied as standalone units or part of turnkey installations, such as for flammable refrigerant projects where we supply all safety equipment as well as safety and engineering consulting.

For specific Commercial Refrigeration applications, VTech has developed equipment combining pre-evacuation, leak detection and refrigerant charging combined in one single unit (All-in-One).

VTech’s refrigerant charging systems for R290 include single or multiple refrigerants, even combining Hydrocarbon, HCFC and HFO refrigerants.

Another variable impacting the design of today’s refrigerant charging systems is the introduction of Hydrocarbon refrigerants, which are flammable in nature. Charging equipment, therefore, must incorporate safety systems in accordance with current regulations. Please refer to the product items below for an overview of VTech’s equipment offerings for flammable vs. non-flammable refrigerants.
