water in recovery cylinder
hi,
does anybody have a suggestion how to utilize ***** (R-410a) from a recovery cylinder that got some water inside it?
how to check for water in a ***** cylinder?
actually, i have plate HX evaporator that leaked and water and refrigerant got mixed. i tried to recover the gas that was inside the system (my mistake) but stopped as soon as i realized it was a bad idea and now i have a contaminated cylinder (not sure).

Re: water in recovery cylinder
Multi-vacuum system and break each cycle with oxygen free and moisture free nitrogen, could take a long time, as in 6 > 10 cycles. Time is of the essence. A long time repair.
The test is monitoring vacuum changes with system isolated and no vac pump operating. There is a glide slope graph to interprute leaks versus moisture over extended periods. I cannot find it so cannot forward. Re-cycle old refrigerant and start with new refrigerant.
Hopefully you have sorted the problem initially of water in system, otherwise you will go round in circles.

Re: water in recovery cylinder
Why dont you just clean the cylinder and reuse that 410A recycled?
There is a method to clean any RAC circuit from water, and a cylinder is kind of a small circuit, just one syphon to clean, very simple.

Re: water in recovery cylinder
Goshen, Sedgy's advice was for me the only advice that responded correctly to the original question, no matter if it's 3 months old. Threads in RE are very often consulted for later advise by other members, searching for technical info.
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
