Reclaim
If you remove all the refrigerant from a system ready to replace due to a leak (r407c) do you have to add oil aswell? As oil will have been removed from system during the reclaim.
Thanks

Re: Reclaim
if you had a leak on R407C or R410A,or sall i say ,a blend refrig, you to trow away the refrig and refill completely whit new. the oil on a hermetic is sufficient and do not have to add more.

Re: Reclaim
Only R407c was said to be replaced with a complete new refill.
But according to Rhodia - largest French gas manufacturer - is even this no longer true. According to a press article, you simply may add R407cIt's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Re: Reclaim
If you reclaim with a recovery unit, then the oil stays in the system.

Re: Reclaim
You vac pump or reclaim machine should not remove any oil from the system unless you have made a connection directly to the bottom of the oil sump.

Re: Reclaim
if you want to reclaim the refrig,make sure the recoverymachine is higher than the unit,so the oil gets a chance to flow back.
and yes peter_1,i am aware of the article,we spoke of this before,but in doubt and the client is paying........i say no more.

Re: Reclaim
you could also start your vac from the receiver side so any oil that is foaming will stay in the system and not in the vac pump then open your suction side to double evac

Re: Reclaim
so many ways and tools to recover refrig for a system, just make sure that you have an open loop,al valve's have to be open,so the refrig can pass.
