Workarounds Described
- uses PT chart to guess refrigerant
Implied Software Gaps
- Mobile app that identifies refrigerant from temperature and pressure readings without needing the model sticker
App Concept
GasID Pro
A mobile app that uses a refrigerant sample, temperature, and pressure readings to identify unknown gases in HVAC systems. Simply input current temperature and pressure, and the app compares readings to known refrigerant properties to suggest the most likely gas, reducing guesswork and service delays.
Key Features
- Input temperature and pressure to get refrigerant match suggestions
- Database of all common HVAC refrigerants with PT curves
- Scan barcode or QR code on refrigerant cylinder to confirm
- Option to run a simple flow test for additional confirmation
Target Users: HVAC field technicians at residential and commercial service companies
Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per user or $99.99/yr subscription; free tier with limited lookups
