Decrease Your Refrigeration Recovery Times

In most recovery applications we are all in a hurry to recover the most amount of refrigerant in the quickest time available. This can be made easier by using the Push Pull method. Otherwise you must ensure that your recovery unit does have the refrigerant throttle to it via the manifold to prevent liquid slugging which will cause damage to the compressor.

In all applications you should ensure if possible to have your cylinder under vacuum and as cool as possible. This will also help speed up the recovery process.

What is the Push Pull Method?

• In simple terms you draw vapour off the top of your recovery cylinder, run it through your recovery unit and then back into the system your are recovering from.
• Next run a hose from the liquid dipper tube on your receiver to the liquid in your bottle.
• This method is only useful when more than 7 Kg of liquid is known to be in the system and it can be easily isolated.
