1. An apparatus for transferring a fluid at least one of from and to an air conditioning system, the apparatus comprising:
- a main compartment having at least one pumping device pumping the fluid at least one of from and to the system;
an interface module having at least one gauge which is configured to display the pressure of the fluid; and
a fluid connection fluidly connecting the gauge to the main compartment, wherein the fluid connection is formed in a double conduit configuration to prevent leakage of the fluid from the fluid connection.

Abstract
An apparatus for transferring a fluid from and/or to a system, e.g., an air conditioning system, includes a main compartment having at least one pumping device for pumping the fluid from/to the system, an interface module having at least one gauge which is configured for displaying the pressure of the fluid, and a fluid connection fluidly connecting the gauge to the main compartment. The fluid connection is formed in a double conduit design in order to prevent any leakage of the fluid from the fluid connection.

10. A method of fluidly connecting a gauge configured to display the pressure of a fluid to a main compartment of an apparatus for transferring the fluid at least one of from and to an air conditioning system, the method comprising:
-
providing (i) an inner conduit for a fluid connection between the gauge and the main compartment, and (ii) an outer conduit configured to receive any fluid leaking out of the inner conduit, wherein the inner and outer conduits are substantially concentric to one another; wherein the inner conduit is connected to the gauge only after the outer conduit has been connected to the gauge.
