  • Method of, and kit for, protecting the integrity of refrigeration systems
    Patent number: 6422029
    Abstract: A security kit and method for protecting refrigerant systems is provided with a seal member for each service port of an air conditioning system. The kit may also include a validation record for recording identifying indicia from each of the seal members. The seal members are heat shrinkable plastic sleeves adapted to be secured on service ports and heated to shrink around and conform to the service port, substantially interfering with the use of the service port. The seal member is not removable without perceptible alteration. A kit can be provided with seal members for one or more service ports, and a locking ring for further securing the seal member to the service ports, particularly when the service ports have smooth exterior surfaces.
