    If the refrigerant is contaminated or damaged it is destroyed by brning it.

    If the gas is chemicaly sound it is filtered and reused.

    criteria was 98 % pure, any blends or cross refrigerants found meant it was sent for incineration, contamination and moisture can be cleaned.

    Re: refrigerant disposal

    Hello, every body
    I was wondering if you can help with some information.
    I have some assignments to prepare and there are some questions I can't find a good answer for them.
    do you know how to dispose of filter from an old air conditioning unit?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi sidi

    Unless its contaminated with oil from an evap leak I would have thought it is just rubbish and would go in the bin.
    If you find out differently let us know

    Re: refrigerant disposal

    Refrigerant shall be reclaimed and taken to an approved incineration facility. Ask your supplier or producer for such nearest facility.
