Imperial 535C Kwik Charge – Liquid Low Side Charger | Fast, Safe Refrigerant Charging

Overview

The Imperial 535C Kwik Charge is a purpose-built liquid low-side charging unit designed for today’s blended refrigerants. By delivering liquid refrigerant from the cylinder directly into the system’s low side, it helps technicians streamline the charging process with greater control and efficiency.

Compared with traditional vapor charging, this unit can significantly shorten service time, particularly when working with R-410A and other blended refrigerants that require liquid delivery for proper distribution. The setup keeps the charging hose connected from the Kwik Charge outlet to the system, making on-site tasks more straightforward and economical.

Key Benefits

• FAST CHARGING: Up to eight times faster than vapor charging, enabling quicker job completion
• EASY TO USE: Eliminates the need to heat refrigerant cylinders on site
• BUILT-IN CHECK VALVE: Automatically opens to support rapid, unrestricted vacuum evacuation
• QUICK, SAFE CHARGING: Maintains a steady liquid flow to protect the compressor during charging
• FOR ALL UNITS 1/2-TON OR LARGER: One charger serves systems of 1/2 ton and larger
• PROFESSIONAL-TRUSTED: Part of Imperial’s long history of trade tools since 1905

Practical Use Scenarios

• Field service on blended refrigerant systems where liquid charging is required
• R-410A or similar refrigerants that benefit from direct low-side liquid delivery
• Projects with multiple units or larger capacity systems where efficiency matters
• Jobs aiming to minimize cylinder heating and simplify workflow

How It Works

Attach the Kwik Charge to the low side of the charging manifold. The charging hose runs from the device outlet to the system’s low side, delivering liquid refrigerant while a metering element keeps flow within safe limits for the compressor.

A built-in ball check valve automatically opens during vacuum drawing, supporting rapid evacuation and reducing downtime between steps, so you can proceed with confidence and momentum.
