HVACR-Tools.com provides technicians with a number of choices where refrigerant recovery equipment is concerned.

Check out the G5 Twin from Appion. The G5 Twin starts with an extra heavy-duty crankcase for driving twin pistons. These twin cylinders allow for greater throughput for both liquid and vapor phase. A quick glance at performance comparisons will show you that across the board, the G5 Twin is up to 188% faster in all conditions.

It's tough too! The G5 Twin's crankcase is completely isolated from the refrigerant flow. As a result, the main drive of the unit will last much longer too. Liquid slugging is now a thing of the past. The G5 Twin pumps vapor or liquid refrigerant without throttling. No clog prone orifices or other liquid flashing gimmicks to cause maintenance problems down the road. Just as the V8 allows automobiles to purr along, the G5's twin cylinders even out the loads while delivering greater pumping speeds for both liquid and vapor. The case is designed for maximum durability yet with a soft gripping rubber ergonomic handle. Once you experience the greater performance of the G5 Twin, single cylinder machines will be obsolete.

Bacharach is proud to offer you the new and improved Stinger. The unit has a larger capacity compressor that will evacuate refrigeration systems faster than ever before.

Also from Bacharach, the FM series of commercial recovery machines. The FM3700’s industrial strength, one horsepower, twin piston compressor enables the unit to recover refrigerant vapor at up to 4 pounds per minute and liquid up to 8 pounds per minute, directly through the compressor.

Yellow Jacket's RecoverX, RecoverXL, and RecoverXLT machines build on the success and performance of the original Yellow Jacket RecoverX machine, of which 50,000 were sold. The top of the line RecoverXLT features fully automatic operation for all refrigerants.

Use the R100 series for high speed recovery and transfer and other large commercial jobs.

The MINIMAX from Promax, division of SPX Corporation, delivers maximum performance with minimum size. The MINIMAX is extremely ergonomic making it ideal for residential and appliance service. It has a tough, corrosion-proof polyethylene blow-molded case, a field serviceable semi-hermetic compressor, a self purge feature, and includes a filter drier as well.

Speeding up the recovery process!

• Use the shortest hoses possible for the job. Long hoses increase the recovery time
• Remove all restrictions in the hoses. I-hoses with ball valves on the ends are better than hoses that are self-sealing. Remove schrader core valves when possible from service ports
• Always identify the refrigerant you are recovering. This will minimize cross contamination and help you plan for the amount of refrigerant you will be recovering
• Always pump liquid out of the system first, and then recover the remaining vapors. This will speed up recovery rates significantly
• With large amounts of refrigerant, use the liquid push pull recovery method. This is three times faster than recovering liquid directly
• If possible, recover from both the high and low side service port on the system from which you are recovering
