A refrigerant recovery unit pumps refrigerant out of a system into a recovery cylinder.
Use it before opening a charged system.
What is a refrigerant recovery unit?
Installing and servicing air conditioners and refrigeration needs a small set of dedicated tools. Pipe cutters and flaring kits prepare copper joints, brazing torches make permanent joints, gauges and charging hoses read pressures and add refrigerant, and recovery units take gas out of a system without venting it.
Leak detectors find leaks so they can be repaired. Therefore, a good tool kit shortens every job and protects the compressor.
