TEXA OBTAINS HOMOLOGATION FROM THE VOLKSWAGEN GROUP
REFRIGERANT IDENTIFIER KIT (STANDARD)
TEXA’s refrigerant identification system is based on NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) technology and has been developed on the basis of a decade of experience in the production of exhaust gas analysis systems that are recognised as the best the market can offer in terms of accuracy and build quality. TEXA is the only European company and the second worldwide to develop and produce a refrigerant identification kit especially for air conditioning recharge stations.
TEXA has utilised the most accurate and compact technology, in order to develop the identifier and certain features have International patents.
Particular care was put into making sure the external environment did not influence the test, for example the hydrocarbon vapours or the exhaust gases that can be found in a workshop.
Another upside of TEXA’s product is that the measurement does not the replacement of require chemical.

SPECIFIC SERIES SOLUTIONS
REFILLABLE HERMETICALLY SEALED OIL BOTTLES
Because standard bottles are not hermetically sealed, they always contain a percentage of air. The water molecules in the air bind with the oil and contaminate it. TEXA’s solution was to create special containers which prevent the oil from becoming contaminated by air and humidity. These have been patented. These special bottles can be re-used thanks to a special system which removes the air from the bottle.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUSHING
In order to guarantee safety and efficiency, it is important that each type of oil and refrigerant are not cross contaminated. TEXA have therefore developed a special automatic flushing function to clean the internal circuits of the service station.
AUTOMATIC BOTTLE IDENTIFICATION
With the introduction of new vehicles, new oils have been introduced for these applications. The correct oil type must be used relating to the air conditioning system to be serviced (e.g. PAG or POE). It is potentially damaging and dangerous to inject non-compatible oils into the system, so the operator must be sure to avoid mistakes. TEXA has developed an automatic oil bottle recognition system which, by comparing the data contained in the vehicles database, signals if the incorrect bottle is being used.
TILT SENSOR SYSTEM FOR ACCURATE READINGS
The scales used for refrigerant measurement can be inaccurate when used on uneven surfaces.
Scales for weighing the refrigerant can be subject to a measurement error of approx. 20%. One of the most common causes of this inaccuracy can be the condition of the workshop floor where the station is used. Even slight variances can result in weighing errors which can mean that either too much or too little refrigerant is added to the vehicle’s system. TILT SENSOR SYSTEM analyses the scale’s horizontal positioning and alerts the operator that the readings may be inaccurate.
FAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The new R1234yf refrigerant has been classified as being ‘highly flammable’ and this must be acknowledged by the operator. The KONFORT 700 series adopts a high efficiency redundant fan system to eliminate any possible refrigerant build up within the unit.
AUTOMATIC LEAK DETECTION MANAGEMENT
The KONFORT 700 series units automatically carry out a dual leak detection check. All safety related operations take place automatically in order to eliminate errors.
VEHICLE FLUSHING KIT
Flushing is the mechanical operation carried out to clean the air conditioning system components of a vehicle. This includes:
- A supplementary 6lt capacity tank with a contamination indicator
- A stainless steel filter which is easily removable for cleaning
- 5mm internal diameter flushing hoses
- A case containing the complete series of universal adapters (over 60 pieces)

PRODUCTION AND QUALITY CERTIFIED
ISO TS 16949 SYSTEM QUALITY
The new KONFORT range is the result of TEXA’s attention and research on materials, new technology and automated production procedures which have resulted in the company acquiring the ISO TS 16949 certification.
Constant quality control and attention to detail is used during all the production phases, from the selection of components, the assembly procedure to aftersales support.
The KONFORT units are fully checked and inspected once they come off the assembly line, with specific checks on the electronics, the calibration of the pressure transducers, scales and sensors. This procedure ensures that all the unit’s functions operate accurately.
The final test is carried out in a sealed area, where helium is injected into the KONFORT tank and the unit’s hydraulic system.
The new KONFORT units adhere to European CE/PED safety requirements as well as standard American requirements regarding refrigerant purity (SAE J2099 for R134a and R1234yf) and minimum recovery efficiency of at least 95% of R134a (SAE J2788) and R1234yf (SAE J2843). Even the production line has been certified by TÜV based on the specifications of the manufacturers.
