As outside temperatures heat up, vehicles with properly functioning air conditioners are a must to stay cool. So are repair shops with the capability to quickly and affordably service underperforming A/C systems when they are needed the most.

Ranger’s new AC-134 CoolCharge air conditioning recovery, recycling, and recharging machine is a cost-effective, fully automatic A/C machine for servicing most cars, trucks, SUVs, and buses.

In less than an hour, the CoolCharge machine can fully clean, recover, and replace refrigerant in a vehicle’s A/C system.

The machine evacuates and recovers virtually 100% of existing coolant and recharges vehicle A/C systems so they work like new again. For A/C systems that just need to be cleaned, the machine can easily flush the existing refrigerant through filters to clean it and return it to the system. Both functions can be performed with minimal technician oversight for maximum efficiency.

The automatic CoolCharge is programmable so once the machine is started, techs can work on other projects during the A/C system recharge and recovery process.

The portable and easy-to-use CoolCharge machine is intuitive during the recharging process to make sure nothing goes wrong. The filter quality and refrigerant levels are also automatically monitored by the machine. Functions will cease in the event the filter is too dirty or the refrigerant level becomes too low to service the vehicle.
