Refrigerant Recycling

REFRIGERANT RECYCLING
1. Plug the station into a suitable A/C power outlet and turn on the "Main Power" switch.
2. Open both valves on the recovery tank.
^ For efficiency recycle full tanks of refrigerant.
3. Turn the "Recycle Start" switch to on. The amber "Recycle On" light will come on and the refrigerant pump will start.
4. Refrigerant will be seen going through the "Moisture indicator" at start up. if there is a sufficient supply of refrigerant, the bubbles will clear after a few seconds. When the bubbles clear from the "Moisture Indicator", the refrigerant pump is operating at maximum efficiency.
5. Allow the station to operate until the dot in the center of the "Moisture Indicator" turns green. Always run the recycling system a minimum of 30 minutes. If the "Moisture indicator" starts out yellow, it could take as long as two hours to turn green, depending on the moisture content of the refrigerant.
6. Shut off the station when recycling is complete. This is not an automatic function.

Guidelines for replacing the filter drier core:
^ For proper contaminant removal, replace the filter drier core after recycling a maximum of 136kg (300 lbs.) of refrigerant.
^ If the moisture indicator does not change to green after two hours of filtering time, the filter drier core is saturated with moisture and should be changed.
^ If the filter drier core becomes clogged with particulates, the filter monitor needle will register in the red zone; this also means the filter core should be changed.
^ If any of the recovered refrigerant being recycled is from a system with a hermetic motor burnout, run the recycling system for a minimum of 24 hours. Check the A/C system oil from the accumulator with an acid test kit to determine the acid quantity of the oil.
