Air Conditioning Gauges - How Does HVAC Gauges Works
YOUR Reviews
The AC manifold gauges set have the three chambers: the low pressure
chamber (left side), utility chamber (middle), and the high pressure
chamber (right side).
When technicians connect the HVAC manifold gauge to the air conditioner
units, he connects the low pressure side of air conditioner unit to low
pressure gauge side.
The utility port (the middle chamber) is a place you connect the hose to
vacuum pump, recovery units or add or remove refrigerant from AC units.

Air conditioning gauge set allows the HVAC technician to check AC units
operating pressures, transfer AC refrigerant, pressure test system, purge
the system with nitrogen, and perform other necessary tasks.

The gauges manifold set includes the hoses, the manifold, the valves, the
compound gauge (low pressure gauges) and high pressure gauge.
I’ll be explaining how air conditioning gauges work from two-valve gauges
(like the AC gauge picture above) and from a R-22 manifold gauge set.
The way an air conditioner gauges work is by open and closing the hand
valve. Yeah, I’m serious. That is simply!
As you can see in AC gauge assembly above, it has needle and small port
to the utility chamber from both high and low pressure chamber.
This needle and small port allow the air conditioner refrigerant to flow from
low pressure chamber to utility chamber or across from low pressure
chamber to high pressure chamber.
When you connect low pressure hoses to air conditioner low pressure side
(suction line), you’ll automatically read the pressure in the low pressure

If you need to read the pressure and temperature of close-system, you
just connected HVAC gauges to AC units.

The two-valve gauge manifold set has the two hand valves and three
hose ports. The hand valves are adjustable. You could adjust the hand
valves to monitor the system pressures within the system.
Notes: this air conditioning gauges set has the two gauges: the high side
gauge and the low side gauges. To monitor the high side of the air
conditioner units you have to connect the hose to high side ports. And to
monitor from the low side of AC units you have to connect the hose to low
side ports.
Here is what a standard four valve gauge manifold set looks like –
The advantage a four-valve has over two-valve is it has the two extra
valves. These two extra valve allows the technician to connect to
refrigerant cylinder and vacuum pump without disconnect the service hose
(utility hose).
