    hi jim, you need to reclaim the gas, possibly disconect the compressor pour out the oil into a container messure the amount of oil you have taken as an indicationof how much oil is requiered, check with the wholesaler the correct type of oil and the amount requiered < and seal the fridge system whilst you are ready to carry on the job< reconnect the compressor, fit new dryer, pressure test with ofn, whilst vaccing out, suck the oil in, weigh in new gas, run on test, leak test, ok
    just a question ? why do you want to change the oil?

    Isn't it forbidden in the US? Here it is... here companies clean the circuits properly, without releasing any gas to the atmosphere

    R11x is a solvent not a refrigerant. It is not R11

    Re: Taylor 754

    Ok, I got it now, didnt read the "x"... Anyway, if you used a solvent, you may still have some of that solvent on that circuit. It's better to use the same refrigerant of the installation in order to extract all acids, oils, water, or whatever.
    With this method, you can recycle the refrigerant you are using on site, and reuse it afterwards- (not in this case that your are retrofitting the plant, of course)
