Refrigerant Recycling

The recycling of reclaimed refrigerant is essential in order to assure that the refrigerant which meets the standards is re-used.

For maximum efficiency, full tanks of recovered refrigerant should be recycled. As required, tanks containing a minimum of 3.6 kg (8 lb) of refrigerant can be recycled.

For greatest efficiency, recycling full tanks of refrigerant is recommended.

Refrigerant Recycling:

1. Make certain both valves on recovery tank are open.
2. Turn on "Recycling" switch. Recycling solenoid will be energized.

Moisture Indicator:

3. Depress start switch. Compressor will start, and "Recycling On" light will come. Refrigerant will be seen going through moisture indicator at start up. The sightglass will not completely fill with refrigerant.
4. Allow the station to operate until moisture indicator turns green. If moisture indicator does not turn green after 40 minutes, remove and replace filter.

Air Purge Indicator:

5. After recycling for approximately 5 minutes, check air purge indicator. If green pointer on air purge indicator leads red pointer by more than 10 psi (2 small divisions), bleed tank through air purge valve on the back of unit until both pointers are equal. Repeat as necessary.
