AIR CONDITIONING
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY, RECYCLING,
RECHARGING
WARNING: Refrigerant must always be
recycled before reuse, to ensure that the
purity of the refrigerant is high enough for
safe use in the air conditioning system. Recycling
should always be carried out with equipment
which is design certified by Underwriter
Laboratory Inc. for compliance with SAE-J1991.
Other equipment may not recycle refrigerant to
the required level of purity.
WARNING: The air conditioning system is
charged with a high pressure, potentially
toxic refrigerant. Repairs or servicing must
only be carried out by an operator familiar with
both the vehicle system and the charging and
testing equipment.
All operations must be carried out in a
well-ventilated area away from open flame and
heat sources.
A R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling
Recharging Station must not be used with any
other type of refrigerant.
Always wear safety goggles and gloves when
opening refrigerant connections.
Refrigerant R134a from domestic and commercial
sources must not be used in motor vehicle air
conditioning systems.
WARNING: Wear eye and hand safety
protection. Open connections slowly in
case liquid or pressure is present. Allow to
bleed off slowly.
Evacuation and recharging
1.
Add refrigerant oil to compressor if necessary.
CAUTION: Overcharging air conditioning
system will cause excessive head
pressure.
2. Renew the receiver/drier.
CAUTION: When a major repair has been
carried out, a leak test should be carried
out using inert gas.
An air conditioning portable Refrigerant Recovery
Recycling Recharging Station for use with R134a
refrigerant incorporates all the features necessary to
recover refrigerant R134a from the air conditioning
system, to filter and remove moisture, to evacuate and
recharge with the reclaimed refrigerant. The unit can
also be used for performance testing and air
conditioning system analysis.
3. Connect a Refrigerant Station to the high and
low pressure servicing connections.
CAUTION: Whenever the refrigerant
system is opened, the receiver/drier must
be renewed immediately before evacuating
and recharging the system.
The operator must adhere to the equipment
manufacturers’ instructions.
4. Operate the refrigerant evacuation system
according to the manufactures instructions.
Recovery and recycling
NOTE: If the vacuum reading is below
700mmHg after 15 minutes, suspect a leak
in the system. Partially recharge the
system and check for leaks using an electronic
leak tester. Check suction lines first, then run the
compressor for 5 minutes and then check the high
pressure lines.
1.
2.
3.
Connect a Refrigerant Station to the high and
low pressure servicing connections.
Operate the refrigerant recovery system
according to the manufacturers instructions.
Measure the amount of oil discharged from the
system. Add an equal amount of new refrigerant
oil to compressor before evacuation sequence.
CAUTION: The system must be Evacuated
immediately before recharging
commences. Delay between Evacuation
and Recharging is not permitted.
