Over the past months, Danfoss has made several exciting updates to the popular Refrigerant Slider app. Danfoss improved the interface, integrated several of the other apps, and added quality of life improvements that made it much easier to use.
Danfoss announced that Refrigerant Slider is now RefTools, an essential, all-in-one mobile app for air conditioning and refrigeration technicians.
The Cooling industry is becoming smarter and increasingly complex, and HVACR professionals need tools, guidance, support, and information that keep them on the cutting edge. RefTools puts all of that in the palm of one’s hand.
Features of RefTools
RefTools includes five of Danfoss’ most popular and useful air conditioning and refrigeration tools:
