Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a filling adapter for filling refrigerant R744 into vehicle air conditioning systems as well as to a corresponding adapter. The adapter comprises mechanical clamping elements actuated by a pneumatically or mechanically controlled clamping piston. The clamping elements are clamped b the clamping system onto specifically designed sections of the vehicle air conditioning system for the filling process and are kept in the clamping position during the filling process. The clamping piston comprises at least two separate piston surfaces to be subjected to the pressure of two different pressurization media, one piston surface being effectively connected to the control pressure of the filling adapter and the other piston surface being effectively connected to the filling pressure of the refrigerant.

Abstract: A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. The filling adapter has a barrel and a ball piece and is operatively connected to two media lines in a hose pack, wherein the media are redistributed in the adapter head, in which a filling valve and a vacuum valve are arranged, which are each connected to the barrel, and wherein an aeration line branches off from a vacuum line in the hose pack by means of a check valve and is connected to the ball piece.

Abstract: A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. The filling adapter is equipped with a clamping drive housing with a stationary part and a receiving part for clamping claws. The receiving part can be operatively connected with a union nut such that, after loosening the union nut, the position of the clamping claws can be rotationally adjusted, allowing rotation of the filling adapter with respect to the container to be filled. A clamping drive housing includes a toothing, with which the receiving part for the clamping claws engages by way of a locking pin.

Abstract: A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose packet, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. A filling adapter according to the disclosure achieves better fluid flow properties while reducing the overall size, production costs, and weight of the filling adapter. The filling adapter is equipped with a coaxial valve in the region of the adapter head of the filling adapter, which coaxial valve, starting from the inlet cross section, is initially provided with a flow contour extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the valve, which in the further flow course transitions into a flow contour extending at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the valve to the outlet cross section.

Abstract: A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. An electronic assembly (ID chip) for a maintenance check is integrated in the adapter head of the filling adapter, which assembly detects the number of use cycles of the filling adapter and compares said number with parameters which can be set in advance in such a way that when said parameters are approached, at least one prior warning is triggered, and when said parameters are reached, an associated controller is informed about the maintenance which is now due.

Abstract: A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. An interface is configured for coupling a gripping element designed as a separate assembly on the filling adapter in the region of the adapter head, wherein the interface has mechanical and electrical connecting elements which are disposed in a common plane and can be coupled to mechanical and electrical connecting elements of the gripping element which are congruent therewith.
