There are some very vital tips worth consideration before engaging in refrigerant recovery. Understanding the system to be recovered is of great importance. Before engaging in the process, you should ensure that you are well conversant with the system in order to do it properly.
The first step entails removing the liquid and any vapor out first. The liquid and the vapor are removed from the bottom access ports where the liquid normally accumulate in. If the liquid is not removed, then the recovery process will be slower as compared to when they are removed.
The speed of the process depends on the size and the length of the hose and the valve. For instance, larger valve reduced the friction while conducting the process thereby speeding up the process. On the other hand, thinner hoses will increase the friction thereby lowering the speed.
The lesser the friction, the faster the speed of the process. It is also advisable to use a short horse. If the horse is long, the pressure will decrease hence also making the process to take long. The Schraeder valves should also be removed first before starting the process.
A shorter hose will ensure that there is no reduction in the pressure hence the process will be conducted faster. On the other hand, if a longer hose is used, there will be a reduction in the pressure hence the process will be slower. A wider and a shorter hose therefore is recommended if one is interested in ensuring that the process is faster.
It is also worth noting the various recovery methods which one may use in conducting the recovery. These methods include the vapor method, the liquid method and the push pull method. These methods are used depending on the type and the size of the system.
The first method involves the application of the pressure differential. The pressure differential is used to eliminate the liquid from the system. It is created by the recovery machine. It is also important to note that this method is best for use in bigger systems with receiver tanks. The use is however not recommended for systems with reversing valve. This reason also demonstrates the importance of identifying the type as well as the size of the system before indulging on the process.
Liquid method on the other side is preferred for using in systems which do not have oil compressors. It is also preferred where the system is capable to recover the liquid. On the other hand, vapor method entails using an additional hose. The additional hose is placed in between the machine for recovery and the storage tank. The vapor is then passed through the added hose then it is being cooled after passing through the compressor. Therefore it is important to note that the methods are suitable to be used in different systems. The above tips are essential in carrying out refrigerant recovery.
