Refrigerant Recovery-
What and Why?
Recover
CFCs & HCFCs
because they destroy
ozone and cause
climate change
HFCs
because they cause
climate change

Recovery Cylinder
Do not use disposable
cylinders
Fill up to 80% of
Cylinder Capacity
Do not mix the
refrigerant cylinders
Label the cylinders
MSE-ToT-Recovery-Final-Dec01.ppt 8
Recovery Procedure
Connect appliance to recovery machine inlet
Connect recovery machine outlet to cylinder
Weigh cylinder
Open valves and start machine
Recover until:
2 psig, if appliance is serviced
as low as possible, if appliance is scrapped
Stop machine and close valves

International Experience
In many countries, law doesnt permit venting
of refrigerants
Refrigerants have to be recovered and recycled
or recovered and destroyed
Most R&R systems are certified
In developed countries:
Most CFCs, HCFCs & HFCs are recovered
Most technicians have/ share recovery
machines
There exist many recycling centres
MSE-ToT-Recovery-Final-Dec01.ppt 10
Recycling, Reclamation
and Destruction
Uncontaminated
refrigerant can be
reused
Contaminated
refrigerant can be
recycled, but you need
recycling centres
or
recycling machine

Pressure Switch Settings
LP switch:
-0.3 bar (4 psig) cut-out
1.0 bar (15 psig) differential
HP switch
20 bar (290 psig) : for HCFC22
15 bar (220 psig) : for CFC12/HFC134a
MSE-ToT-Recovery-Final-Dec01.ppt 18
Operation & Maintenance
Have separate recovery machine for
each refrigerant
Use with correct refrigerant
Do not allow liquid into machine
MSE-ToT-Recovery-Final-Dec01.ppt 19
Maintenance & Reliability
Replace filter drier after maximum 100
hours of operation
Check whether the compressor is
working properly, before using it
