Robinair 16990 - R-ID Refrigerant Analyzer (Catalog 16990)

R-ID Refrigerant Analyzer

• Catalog 16990
• Quickly and accurately determine refrigerant purity
• Displays amount of R-1234yf, R-134a, R-12, R-22 and Hydrocarbons in percentage
• Displays % air in pure R-1234yf & R-134a

The R-ID and R-ID Plus R-1234yf / R-134a Refrigerant Analyzers are designed for use independently or in conjunction with an SAE J2843 or J3030 approved A/C service machine to determine the purity of R-134a or R-1234yf refrigerant. The refrigerant analyzers use non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to determine the weight concentration of R-1234yf or R-134a refrigerant. Acceptable refrigerant purity as it relates to these refrigerant analyzers have been defined by the SAE as a refrigerant mixture that contains 98.0% or greater of R-1234yf or R-134a by weight. The refrigerant analyzers are supplied complete with an R-1234yf sample hose, an R-134a sample hose (R-12 coupler sold separately), a 100–240 VAC power transformer, built in lithium-ion battery, thermal printer (R-ID Plus model only), and all required plumbing housed within a hard-shell portable storage case. Sample gas is admitted into the refrigerant analyzers through the supplied sample hose and presented to the sensing device. The refrigerant analyzers provide the user with a digital display of refrigerant purity. The refrigerant analyzers only consider the weights of the refrigerant and contaminates in the total mixture. Air is measured and displayed separately. Other contents such as refrigerant oil and dye are not considered contaminants.

Base Unit

The R-ID and R-ID Plus Refrigerant Analyzer base unit houses the LCD, electrical connections, and rechargeable battery. These components require no maintenance; therefore, there are no serviceable internal components, and disassembly will void the warranty.

R-1234yf Sample Hose

The 6.5 ft (2m) R-1234yf sample hose is constructed of polyurethane ether. The hose is provided with a refrigerant analyzer inlet port mating connector on one end and a brass flow restrictor on the other end. The brass flow restrictor screws into the R-1234yf low side coupler. The sample hose is considered a consumable maintenance part. A spare R-1234yf sample hose is also provided.

R-134a Sample Hose

The 6.5 ft (2m) R-134a sample hose is constructed of polyurethane ether. The hose is provided with a refrigerant analyzer inlet port mating connector on one end and a brass flow restrictor on the other end. The brass flow restrictor screws into the R-134a low side coupler. The sample hose is considered a consumable maintenance part. A spare R-134a sample hose is also provided.

Sample Hose Extensions

The sample hose extensions allow the user to easily connect and disconnect the hose assembly to the refrigerant analyzer. The extension is connected directly to the refrigerant analyzer and the sample hose connects to the male fitting on the opposite end.

R-1234yf Low Side Coupler

The R-1234yf low side coupler is designed with a quick connect adapter to quickly connect the hose assembly to the low side Schrader valve on a R-1234yf vehicle.

R-134a Low Side Coupler

The R-134a low side coupler is designed with a quick connect adapter to quickly connect the hose assembly to the low side Schrader valve on a R-134a vehicle.
