REFRIGERANT RECOVERY RECYCLING
RECHARGING
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.
Always wear safety goggles and gloves when
opening refrigerant connections.
WARNING: Wear eye and hand safety
protection. Open connections slowly in
case liquid or pressure is present. Allow to
bleed off slowly.
CAUTION: Overcharging air conditioning
system will cause excessive head
pressure.
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.
The operator must adhere to the equipment
manufacturer’s instructions.
Recovery and recycling
1. High pressure servicing connection
2. Low pressure servicing connection
1. Connect a Refrigerant Station to the high and
low pressure servicing connections.
2. Operate the refrigerant recovery system
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Measure the amount of oil discharged from the
system. Add an equal amount of new refrigerant
oil to compressor before evacuation sequence.
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.
A R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling
Recharging Station must not be used with any
other type of refrigerant.
Refrigerant R134a from domestic and commercial
sources must not be used in motor vehicle air
conditioning systems.
