The SUN ECO2KARE is a fully automatic R744 CO₂ aircon service unit for progressive workshops servicing the latest CO₂ refrigerant vehicle systems, featuring automatic air purge, hermetic containers, pressure leak check up to 100 bar, Wi-Fi connectivity, and status light — with a base and custom vehicle database.
Engineered for forward-thinking automotive workshops that need to service the latest generation of CO₂ (R744) refrigerant aircon systems — found in an increasing number of new European and Asian passenger vehicles — the SUN ECO2KARE R744 CO₂ Fully Automatic Aircon Service Unit delivers safe, accurate recovery, recycling, vacuum, and recharging of high-pressure CO₂ refrigerant systems, future-proofing the workshop for the next generation of vehicle aircon technology.
Key Features:
- R744 CO₂ refrigerant compatibility enables workshops to service the latest generation of CO₂-based vehicle aircon systems, which operate at significantly higher pressures than R134a or HFO1234yf systems and require a dedicated, purpose-built service unit.
- Fully automatic operation with automatic air purge manages the entire recovery, recycling, vacuum, and recharge cycle without manual intervention, reducing operator errors and ensuring safe handling of high-pressure CO₂ refrigerant.
- Heated cylinder ensures consistent CO₂ refrigerant density during the recharge phase, improving charging accuracy on high-pressure systems where precise refrigerant quantities are critical.
- 142 l/min vacuum pump capacity at 0.03 mbar achieves ultra-deep vacuum — significantly lower than standard aircon service units — as required by the technical specifications of CO₂ refrigerant systems before recharging.
- 12-litre refillable refrigerant cylinder provides sufficient CO₂ refrigerant capacity for passenger car aircon systems, with straightforward refilling from bulk CO₂ supply.
- 2 oil + 2 dye refillable hermetic containers allow the correct CO₂-compatible compressor oil and UV dye to be introduced precisely during the service cycle, supporting leak detection and system lubrication.
- Pressure leak check up to 100 bar (nitrogen) verifies CO₂ system integrity after recharging at the high pressures characteristic of R744 systems, confirming the system is sealed before the vehicle is returned to the customer.
- Hybrid vehicle function enables safe aircon servicing on hybrid and electric vehicles equipped with CO₂ refrigerant systems, covering the full spectrum of modern vehicle technology.
- Base and custom vehicle database provides refrigerant charge quantities and oil specifications for vehicles equipped with CO₂ aircon systems, with custom entry capability for new or unlisted models.
- Vacuum leak check verifies system integrity before recharging, identifying leaks that would cause premature CO₂ loss and repeat customer complaints.
- LCD display (98 x 39mm) provides clear operational status readouts throughout the CO₂ service cycle, keeping the technician informed at every stage of the process.
- Thermal printer produces a professional service report for every job, documenting refrigerant quantities recovered and recharged for customer records and workshop accountability.
- Wi-Fi connectivity enables over-the-air software and database updates, ensuring the unit's vehicle coverage remains current as CO₂ refrigerant vehicles enter the South African market.
- Status light provides at-a-glance visual confirmation of unit status, allowing the technician to monitor the CO₂ service cycle safely from a distance.
- 3m hose length provides comfortable reach around the vehicle without the need to reposition the unit during the service cycle.
- Compact and mobile design at 99kg and 73 x 110 x 135cm allows workshop positioning alongside existing R134a and HFO service units, building a complete multi-refrigerant aircon service capability.
