Descrizione
Precision Is Not a Feature. It Is a Requirement.
In the world of HVAC and refrigeration, the difference between a system that runs for twenty years and one that fails in two comes down to a single variable: the quality of the vacuum. Moisture, non-condensables, and microscopic contaminants are the silent killers of compressors. They do not announce themselves. They accumulate — molecule by molecule — until the day the system gasps its last breath. The Cryo Forge is not merely a vacuum pump. It is an insurance policy against entropy, designed for technicians who understand that the final 50 microns matter more than the first 25,000.
At its core sits a 180-watt motor engineered for sustained deep-vacuum duty, pulling refrigerant circuits down to levels that make moisture boil at room temperature. The single-stage rotary vane design has been refined through thousands of field cycles, balancing ultimate vacuum depth against the flow rates that get you from atmospheric pressure to sub-500-micron territory in minutes, not hours. This is the tool you reach for when the manifold gauges tell you the system is "close enough" — and your professional standards tell you it is not.
Every component, from the oil fill port to the exhaust cap, reflects the reality of field work. The housing is impact-resistant, the handle is positioned for single-hand carry, and the oil sight glass is large enough to read at a glance. This pump does not demand a climate-controlled shop. It performs in rooftop mechanical rooms under the July sun and in cold-storage facilities where your breath crystallizes. The Cryo Forge does not care about the weather. It cares about the vacuum curve.
In refrigeration, half-measures freeze eventually.

Application Scenarios
Designed for HVAC service professionals, refrigeration technicians, and facility maintenance engineers who perform regular system evacuation, dehydration, and leak testing. The Cryo Forge excels in residential split-system installations, commercial rooftop unit servicing, cold room maintenance, and automotive A/C repair environments. Its compact form factor and single-hand portability make it ideal for field technicians who move between multiple job sites daily — from apartment building mechanical rooms to restaurant walk-in coolers to automotive service bays. This pump also serves as a reliable backup unit in workshop settings where larger rotary vane pumps handle primary production line duties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What vacuum level can this pump achieve?
The V-i120SV reaches an ultimate vacuum of 5 Pascal (approximately 37.5 microns), well below the 500-micron threshold recommended by most compressor manufacturers for system evacuation.
Q: What type of oil does this pump use?
Standard vacuum pump oil (ISO VG 68 or VG 100). We recommend changing the oil after every major evacuation or when the oil appears milky, indicating moisture absorption.
Q: Can this pump handle R-410A systems?
Yes. The pump is compatible with all common refrigerants including R-410A, R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-32. Always use an appropriate micron gauge and follow manufacturer evacuation procedures.
Q: How long does it take to pull a 3-ton system to 500 microns?
With proper hoses (3/8" or larger diameter) and a clean system, expect approximately 15-25 minutes for a typical residential 3-ton split system. Using smaller 1/4" hoses will extend evacuation time significantly.
Q: Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?
The pump is rated for intermittent duty cycles common in field service. For continuous 24/7 operation (e.g., production line or laboratory use), a dedicated continuous-duty pump is recommended.
Q: Does it come with a gas ballast valve?
The V-i120SV features a manual gas ballast that helps purge moisture from the oil during evacuation, extending oil life and improving vacuum performance in humid environments.
Q: What fittings and hoses are included?
The pump includes a 1/4" SAE male flare intake fitting. Vacuum hoses, manifold gauges, and micron gauges are sold separately and available from HVAC supply distributors.
