Abstract: A refrigeration servicing system includes an apparatus and user equipment in electronic communication with the apparatus. The apparatus includes a body having a first end and a second end, wherein a passage extends within the body from the first end to the second end. A recess is formed within the body at the second end. The body comprises an inlet at the first end configured to directly engage with a portion of the refrigeration system, a conduit in fluid communication with the inlet, and a plunger. The conduit and plunger are each positioned in the passage. The apparatus also includes a housing at least partially positioned in the recess and in fluid communication with the conduit. The housing includes a sensor configured to directly contact the fluid and measure a parameter of the fluid. A method of servicing a refrigeration system is also provided.

Abstract: A system is provided for servicing a refrigeration system. The system includes a coupler and user equipment in electronic communication with the coupler. The coupler includes an inlet engageable with a portion of a refrigeration system, and at least one sensor configured to measure in situ at least one physical parameter of the refrigeration system. A method of assessing a condition of a refrigeration system is provided. The method involves providing a coupler to a portion of a refrigeration system; allowing fluid communication between the refrigeration system and at least one sensor configured to measure in situ at least one physical parameter of the refrigeration system; communicating the at least one physical parameter to user equipment; and assessing a condition of the refrigeration system based on at least one communicated physical parameter.
