The information provided to date by the existing manifold on the market is based on pressures
and temperatures. Important but incomplete information, since the standard sightglass does not
allow us or only partially, to guess the passage of the refrigerant, its phase (liquid or vapour) and
its quality.
How many times, after having a problem on a unit, have we questioned?
... what if I could have observed the presence of water or moisture before?
... what if I could have observed the state of the oil and its mixture with the refrigerant?
... what if I could have seen the presence of contaminants in the refrigerant?
The standard sightglass, incorporated in traditional manifolds, does not help us to obtain useful
indications in this sense, and consequently do not help us in making a more complete diagnosis
about the “health” of the system.

The ever-increasing importance of indications on the state of refrigerant and oils has led to design the new SPY WIGAM manifolds.
The innovative SPY diagnostic manifolds, in order to help technicians in daily working, are equipped with a fully transparent central body representing the
new frontier of these service equipment.
Here are some of the indications that can be obtained quickly and easily using SPY:
• Clearly show if we are working with refrigerant in the liquid or steam phase.
• Clearly show the presence of contaminants in the refrigerant.
• Show the miscibility state of the refrigerant with oil.

• Combine visual diagnosis with chemical analysis by taking oil samples.
