West Star offers Learjet air conditioner conversion

By Janice Wood · November 14, 2011 ·

In response to a recently released Advisory Wire AW21-008 from Learjet stating it will no longer support the R-12 air conditioning systems on Learjet 20/30/50 and 60 series aircraft, West Star Aviation offers the Steinbach & Associates STC conversion kits for the R12 Air Conditioning systems at its Grand Junction, Colo., facility.

The air conditioning STC converts the R-12 system to the ozone-friendly R-134a Suva refrigerant system for all applicable Learjet aircraft. The conversion kits include an R-134a compressor, expansion valves specifically for R-134a, compatible receiver-dryer, and Teflon vapor barrier hoses and fittings along with servicing ports specifically for R-134a.

For more information: 970-261-1308 or WestStarAviation.com
