Refrigerants Analysis Device VAS 581 013

An important step in repairing and servicing a vehicle's air conditioning system is to check that the refrigerant is of the required quality. The VAS 581 013 analyzer is used to determine the purity of refrigerants R134a and R1234yf in all Volkswagen Group vehicle models.

Air conditioning system malfunctions can be caused by a defect in the system itself or by the use of an incorrect or inferior-quality refrigerant. Since refrigerants are very expensive, low-quality knock-offs that can cause major damage to vehicle air-conditioning systems regularly appear on the market. It is therefore important to follow this rule of thumb: Check the refrigerant first before replacing any parts.

The VAS 581 013 is the best solution because ...

... it lowers repair and maintenance costs. The device can be used to reliably determine whether the refrigerant can continue to be used. It checks the refrigerant for a wide range of impurities and thus ensures that vehicle air conditioning systems are repaired and serviced in a consumption-optimized manner.

... it lowers capital costs. The VAS 581 013 is a 2-in-1 solution in that it detects impurities in both R134a and R1234yf refrigerants.

... it is environmentally friendly. In spite of ongoing technical improvements, refrigerants remain harmful to the environment. It is therefore essential to use them sparingly and to replace them only when necessary. This analyzer reliably determines whether replacement is necessary.

... it conserves resources. Each analysis results in a maximum loss of 2 grams of refrigerant.

... it is easy to use. The device can be quickly and easily connected to the vehicle refrigeration circuit with its included service connector and hose.

... it’s labor-saving. The device can be quickly deployed and requires only about 5 minutes to perform an analysis.

... it’s very handy. Designed as a case, it only weighs 6 kg (about 13.25 lbs). Its integrated rechargeable battery allows you to perform a variety of analytical processes without requiring an AC power supply.

... it is easy to operate. Its display screen guides the user through each operational step.

... it features clear control indicators and acoustic signals.

Green lamp and indicator: Refrigerant meets the prescribed quality, i.e., purity above 95%.
Red lamp and indicator: Refrigerant does not meet the prescribed quality, i.e., purity below 95%.
Acoustic error signal: Insufficient amount of refrigerant in the AC unit.
