Thermal Engineering 1081 User Manual

HVAC/R ACCESSORIES

The Cap-Check is a Thermal Engineering innovation that has made cap tube cleaning possible and
practical, it is designed to pump a high rate of oil into the cap tube to build up pressures needed
to open any plugged cap tube, and will clean partially plugged cap tubes when used with the
Thermal Chaser Kit.

Model 5101 Cap-Check Outfit

Cap-Check Outfit provides both the Cap-Check and Chaser Kit in one
compact case along with an extended base that holds the Cap-Check.
The Cap-Check can be operated with one hand, allowing high pressures
to be easily pumped. Carrying case has clips to hold Cap-Check, Chaser
Kit, hose, handle, and extended base.

Model 1003 Cap-Check

Cap-Check is a portable, self contained hydraulic power unit with auxiliary
equipment especially adapted to cleaning refrigeration capillary tubes.
A 0-6000 PSI gauge shows pressure build-up if cap tube is restricted and
also shows when chaser has passed through the tube. A trigger operated
gauge shutoff is provided so the gauge will not be damaged if pressures
greater than 6000 PSI are desired. A 30 inch high pressure hydraulic
hose with a 1/4 inch SAE male flare outlet connects the cap tube to the
Cap-Check for simple handling. An adapter is supplied to connect the cap
tube directly to the hose outlet without a flared fitting.

Model 1101 Cap-Check Chaser Kit

Chaser Kit is the only means available to clean partially plugged cap tubes,
it must be used with the Thermal Cap-Check since no other cap tube
cleaning tool provides a rate of oil flow large enough to remove partial
restrictions even from the smallest cap tubes. The Chaser Kit consists of
10 spools of lead alloy wire which can be used as a chaser for the 10 most
popular sizes of cap tubes (.028, .031, .036, .039, .042, .046, .050, .055,
.064, .070). In addition to the wire, a cap tube gauge, a set of sizing tools,
and a combination file/reamer are all included in a durable metal case.

Model 1102 Cap-Gage

Cap-Gage is a pocket knife type cap tube gauge with 10 stainless steel
gauges to measure the most popular sizes of cap tubes (.028, .031, .036,
.039, .042, .046, .050, .055, .064, .070).

Model 14701 Infrared Scanner

Using unique infrared technology, this pocket sized instrument permits

temperature and humidity readings at the “speed of light”. At the touch of

a button, on-the-spot temperature readings can be made without probes.

The Psychrometer Card included allows instant calculation of percent

relative humidity and dew point temperature without the inconvenience of

a sling psychrometer.

Applications range from climate control and refrigeration equipment to computer room operations and
include room, air delivery and return temperatures; delta “T”s of refrigerant and chilled water lines,
locating insulation voids, window and door leaks and piping runs; checking motors and bearings.

From measuring surface temperatures to scanning at a distance for temperature variations, the
possible uses are unlimited.

Model 14701 features a color bar graph display with two scales. The unit is housed in a rugged high
impact case and has a low battery indicator. Comes complete with instructions, Psychrometer, card
and carrying case.
