Refrigerant recovery machines

[Mark]

Hi all

Contemplating which refrigerant reclaim machine to invest in .
I need a unit capable of liquid recovery with a large capacity to mininmize downtime ,ideally 110v.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards. Mark

Bear in mind Mark that most machine can do liquid on a push/pull basis or are you after something that will pump the liquid itself?

Hi Mark,
There are many on the market,
Ican only add that oilless compressor is the trend now.
Take a look at this one.

indeed yes,we have many units capable of liquid/vapour recovery.

I was after something on the larger side to speed up recovery,ive looked at the cps range which is a possibility.

Hi Mark,

we use two cps-s. a smaller one (maybe cr500) and a new cr700 (both of them is E, I think it means 230V)
The smaller is pretty rectangular, like REFCO. The bigger is that "oval" one.
Both of them is Ok for push/pull and the bigger is enough for us with liquid. The problem starts when you want to recover gas from a system...
Anyway what dou you mean by "large"???
We use the for systems up to 440 kg of 134a. e.g. from a bigger chiller with the smaller recov.machine you can push/pull approx. 60-62kg/45-55min. (1/4 hose and the machine IS a used one)
The new one should be better but it's broken down after 3 months...
