What if you could save 30 minutes each day in the shop? Do you have some areas in the shop where you might be wasting a little bit of time? You might have a machine that's not quite up to its 100% potential? This DVD shows you why J2788 makes a difference!

J2788 air conditioning machines came onto the market about three years ago. If you purchased one in the last three years, chances are you purchased a J2788 machine. But what are the differences? Bob Pattengale talks about them in this video.

J2788, the new standard, is based on research that was done with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Mobile Air Conditioning Society working in conjunction with car manufacturers.

Why J-2788 Standard?

• A/C machines new since ‘09
• Save 30 minutes each day/$2,000 a month
• J-2788 based on rising warranty cost on A/C repairs
• Due to less refrigerant in newer cars

Challenges

• Global warming
• Fuel economy
• Old systems held 55 to 60 ounces of refrigerant, New systems hold 12 to 16 ounces
• Old 2210 machines cannot pull all refrigerant out of system
• Many over-charged systems!

Why SAE J-2788 makes a difference

• Must recover 95% of refrigerant
• Must have charge accuracy of +/- 0.5 ounce
• Must lock out user when filter service is required
• Must have minimum cross-contamination when switching from one oil to another
