1. A device for taking temperature readings on an HVAC system, comprising:
- a manifold configured to be connectable in fluid communication with an HVAC system;
a first probe configured to be connectable in thermal communication with an HVAC system for taking a first temperature reading thereof, the first probe comprising a first sensor clamp that is removably attachable to the manifold for sensing a first temperature of the HVAC system;
a second probe configured to be connectable in thermal communication with an HVAC system for taking a second temperature reading thereof that is independent of the first temperature reading, the second probe comprising a second sensor clamp that is removably attachable to the manifold for sensing a second temperature of the HVAC system; and
at least one display connectable to the first and second probes for displaying the first and second temperature readings wherein the display generates color-coded temperatures, each color separately corresponding to a different refrigerant type.

Abstract
In a device and method for taking temperature readings on an HVAC system, a first probe is connectable in thermal communication with the HVAC system for taking a first temperature reading thereof. A second probe is connectable in thermal communication with the HVAC system for taking a second temperature reading thereof that is independent of the first temperature reading. A digital display is connectable to the first and second probes for displaying the first and second temperature readings.

17. A method comprising the following steps:
-
connecting an HVAC manifold to an HVAC system; taking a first temperature reading of the HVAC system by attaching to the manifold a first sensor clamp that is removably attachable to the manifold for sensing a first temperature of the HVAC system; taking a second temperature reading of the HVAC system that is independent of the first temperature reading by attaching to the manifold a second sensor clamp that is removably attachable to the manifold for sensing a second temperature of the HVAC system; and displaying the first and second temperature readings on a display operatively connected to the HVAC manifold including generating color-coded temperatures where each color separately corresponds to a different refrigerant type. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
