Our recommended sources section - front page right hand column, ’bout halfway down. If you are thinking about an instrument or tool investment or purchase, the people listed in this section are the ones to see.

The few that you will eventually find in this section are not a matter of my own opinion but rather a consensus of many technicians who have dealt with them in the past. Strong service and support ethics are critical components of any orginization you will see in the section - or they would not be there. We look for sources that have roots in the trade, if we wanted to link you to a salesman that has no clue about what they are selling, what it does or how it does it, we could have listed 90% of the wholesalers in the trade there - but they aren’t.

Reasonable pricing, exceptional service and support and an understanding of the mechanics and applications of the tools and instruments used in the trade, that’s the price of the ticket to ride in the Recommended Sources section. You won’t find many, but the ones that are there - bank on ‘em. 

The HVAC PROTech® TECHniques™ 2008 Symposium is officially in the books. This years focus was Digital Refrigeration and system commissioning and was held just outside Cleveland, Ohio at the beautiful and comprehensive HVAC/R labs at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center.

The Symposium available exclusively to members of HVAC PROTech.com® was led by Jim Bergmann and special guest Bill Spohn. The event was sponsored by TRUTech Tools™, Testo®, HVACe3™ and Digi-Cool® Industries. The Symposium was a combination educational and social event and we fully expect this to be an annual tradition available to site members.

 The 2009 Symposium will obviously have a different focus than the 2008 Digital Refrigeration Symposium and we would like to expand the available number of registrations that we can accept and still maintain an effective learning environment. The Symposium was provided at no cost to site members, with the exception of their travel and lodging, which was also arranged at group rates.

Join the only site by the technician - for the technician. Maybe we’ll see you there next year.

Our award winning Digital Manifold, the DM2, gets a face lift for 2008.  All of the capabilities that you have come to expect like 32 built-in refrigerants, automatic calculation of superheat and subcooling temperatures, conversion into other scales, and pressure readings, are kept intact.  We have made the 2008 version sleeker and more durable.  The DM-2 is now on the sleek, lightweight aluminum Zeppelin manifold body.  The display has been updated with a more easy to use face and the digital components are protected by a heavy duty rubber boot which can be retro-fitted to earlier DM-2 models.  Included in the product launch is a four-valve version with all of the same characteristics of the DM-2 model, but made for a four-valve Zeppelin manfiold body.
