HVACDiagnostics & Troubleshooting5CriticalTechnician$ implied

HVAC technicians lack a reliable method to ensure all shrapnel from a failed AC compressor is removed from non-flushable components like evaporators and condensers, risking repeat failures.

No practical tool exists to verify that non-flushable parts (evaporator, condenser) are free of metal debris, forcing technicians to replace them or risk failure.
