Description

Genuine Elke · Part no. 41-50015

Safety: Danger. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Read the label before use.

Elke Flushing Agent is a 5 litre can of cleaning fluid for washing out the inside of car air conditioning parts when a system has been contaminated, for example after a compressor failure. It lifts old oil residue, rust, moisture and debris from the pipes and heat exchangers, so replacement parts and fresh oil start in a clean system.

Good to know

• Does the flush go through the compressor? No. An air conditioning flush is used with the system empty and opened up; the compressor, receiver drier and expansion valve or orifice tube are kept out of the flush.
• What happens after flushing? This fluid evaporates slowly, so blow each part through until nothing more comes out, then pull the system down under vacuum before fresh oil and refrigerant go in.
• Can I do it at home? The gas has to be recovered before the system is opened, and in the UK handling vehicle refrigerant needs an F-gas qualification, so flushing is a job for a qualified air conditioning technician.

Which one?

After a flush the system needs fresh compressor oil in the grade the compressor maker lists, such as the Elke R134a Pag46 Oil – 1 Litre (41-1020A) or, for R1234yf cars, the Elke HFO1234yf Pag46 Oil – 250ml (41-1025).
