- Install a clean filter screen or filter / dryer to the inlet fitting.
- Connect a hose from the liquid port of the recovery cylinder into the outlet fitting on the unit.
- Connect a hose from the outlet port of a manifold gauge set to the inlet fitting on the unit through the filter / dryer.
- Connect a hose from the selected system's liquid side to the liquid (low pressure) side of the manifold gauge set.
- Connect a hose from the system's vapour side to the vapour (high) side of the manifold gauge set.
- Close all the inlet & outlet valves and place the cylinder on a weighing scale to prevent its overfilling.
Q. What type of cylinders are required for use with this Robinair RG3 refrigerant recovery machine?
A.
- The selected cylinder should be an authorised, refillable refrigerant storage cylinder specs.
- Robinair recommends using 400 psi (27.6 bar) cylinders or at least a 350 psi (24.1 bar) cylinder.
- Closed cylinders should be filled up to 80% of their volume to prevent personal injury & equipment damage.
- Recovery cylinders & filter / dryers should be used with only one refrigerant type.
- Refrigerant cylinders should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Q. What is the push / pull procedure in this recovery machine?
A. Push / pull procedure in this Robinair RG3 refrigerant recovery machine is used to recover refrigerants from large systems containing bulk liquids over 15 lb. Users should follow the push / pull method as described in the unit's instruction manual.
