Are your customers sat in a tractor cab with poor air conditioning?

Are the cab filters dirty?

If your air-con system cannot draw enough clean air into the cabin and recirculate it efficiently, the cabin temperature will stay hotter for longer.

Is the tractor cab air tight?

Is the hot outside air coming in - Vapormatic has a wide range of cab glass, window rubbers, draught excluders & gas struts.

Check the receiver dryer sight glass for refrigerant movement.

If you see bubbles or no refrigerant movement this could indicate the system requires topping up

Is there 12V power to your air-con compressor?

Check your fuses.

Does the cab blower fan work?

The air-con system will not start if your fan has no power.

Don’t get hot under the collar this summer

Did you know?

Your air-con system has a filter called a receiver dryer - most manufacturers recommend changing it every 2-3 years. As this is a sealed system, it has to be drained of refrigerant to remove the filter. If you are having work completed and the system is being drained of refrigerant make sure you replace the receiver dryer, its an important part of the system!

Capture the filth with Vapormatic filters

Key messages for your customers

USING GLOBAL SUPPLIERS AND LEADING BRANDS

FACT... Less air into the engine means less power. Clean efficient air intake filtration means more power when it is needed coupled with better fuel efficiency. By cleaning or renewing engine air filters saves money in the long run. Don’t forget to renew the inner intake air filter at the same time this one is just as important.

Areyoubreathingindirtycontaminatedair?

At Vapormatic we offer a large range of cabin air filters for many applications, with other carbon activated and anti-allergen options. Keeping these filters clean helps to keep the customer and their air-conditioning system in a healthier condition!

Doesyourenginefuelsystemdeservethebestfiltration?

With the introduction of common rail injection systems which includes fuel pressures of up to 30,000 PSI, any fuel contamination could cause catastrophic failure within the common rail components, with a resulting big bill for the owner. Our industry is seeing ever more reduced micron ratings to protect the common rail fuel pump and injection system. VapormaticmatchtheOEMrecommendedmicronratingforeachandeverytractorapplication.

Vapormatic filters go through rigorous research and development before they are introduced into our rangeportfolio.
