EcoLOCK 

® 

is the intelligent coupler that with the suitable auto - 

mated procedure in the software enables to:

 

 

Reduce the amount of non-condensable gases 
formed inside the cylinder 

 

Avoid the refrigerant (loss) dispersion in the air 
during the disconnection of the couplers (Puff-effect) 

 

Check possible Schrader valve leaks before 
disconnection
