SUBJECT:
Cooling of Automobile Components for Test Purposes





Situation:
Where cooling of automobile components is required for test purposes (for example, S.I. 34 01 89 (1850), it is strongly suggested by BMW NA that dealers not use refrigerant (e.g. FREON(R)) to cool the components (due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) related ozone depletion). Instead, we suggest that you use a heating/cooling gun (available through the BMW Service Equipment Program).

This unique time saving service tool creates hot and cold air with no moving parts. Using shop air as its only source of power, the heating/cooling gun discharges cold air (down to 0~F) from one end and hot air (up to 140~F) from the other.
