Features and Benefits of the 17300 and 17350

The Robinair 17300 and 17350 were designed with the technician in mind. Their built-in features make them extremely easy to operate. Because of their modular design, most of their components can be easily replaced in the field, helping to reduce costly down time.
--> Durable cart design for long life and easy portability.
--> 17350 is fully shrouded and includes a cooling fan.
--> Includes three 72" color-coded hoses with Quick Seal's Fittings to update manifolds and charging stations.
--> Modular design for easy access and service.
--> Two, 30-pound D.O.T approved reusable refrigerant storage tanks.
--> Easy to understand control panel.
--> Separate start buttons for both recovery and recycling processes.
--> Compressor return oil separator.
--> Automatic shut off on recovery sequence.
--> System oil catch bottle.
--> Magnetically coupled liquid pump for faster recycling.
--> Convenient automatic air purge.
--> Continuous loop recycling assures contaminant -free and dry refrigerant.
--> Moisture indicator turns from yellow to green when recycling is completed.
--> Filter monitor indicates when the filter is clogged.
--> Recovery tank full light.
--> Includes a detailed instruction manual and operation video.

Fast and Thorough Processing During the recovery process, refrigerant is drawn through a heat exchange/oil separator. There, all oils and other condensables are removed from the refrigerant prior to its passing into the compressor and back through the heat exchanger where it is condensed into a liquid state for storage.
During recycling, the refrigerant is continuously passed through the filter/dryer by the magnetically coupled pump. It is then passed through the moisture indicator and back to the storage tank. This process continues until the refrigerant is completely free of moisture.

Continuous Loop vs. Single Pass Systems Time is not a reliable measure of how well the refrigerant has been reconditioned because moisture content varies. Refrigerant that is relatively dry may require as little as 20 minutes to process while extremely wet refrigerant may require an hour or more.

Robinair's 17300 and 17350 are continuous loop systems. They continue to recycle the refrigerant until it is completely free of moisture, unlike single pass systems, which recover and recycle in one step and cannot adapt to refrigerants with different contaminant levels.
Recovery Compressor Heavy duty hermetic compressor produces a strong suction to quickly and quietly pull all refrigerant from the system.

Liquid Pump This pump circulates refrigerant through the recycling process. It keeps the refrigerant in a liquid state for maximum efficiency using a magnetic coupling which prevents heat generation.

Filter/Drier This specially blended filter core provides maximum moisture and acid removal with long-lasting capacity. It is conveniently located to make changing filters quick and easy.

Automatic Shut-off The system is pulled to a shallow vacuum in order to vaporize and remove all the refrigerant - but not deep enough to vaporize and remove moisture. Once this level is achieved, the station automatically shuts off and recovery is complete.
Moisture Indicator Turns from yellow to green when refrigerant is free of moisture.

Safety Features
--> Refrigerant tank overfill protection
--> Automatic high pressure cut-off switch
--> Interlock protection
--> Filter monitor
--> Tank full light
--> High pressure light
Automatic Air Purge The automatic air purge device is set to detect a pressure difference created by the presence of air and will automatically vent the air if any is present.
Heat Exchange/Oil Separator Removes oil and other condensables from the refrigerant and then converts the refrigerant into a liquid for storage. Plus, it does it faster than other systems and with no moving parts to wear out or break down.
