HVAC 128 Recovery most used but slowest

Recovery method, the most commonly used method but unfortunately its the slowest method.
Refrigerant safety basics and recovery refrigerant from a complete system.
next video will be a faster recovery method.

the slow method is good for when customers are standing over your shoulder trying to get you to drop you flat rate price for repairs in half :) Ya just tell them these procedures take time :) flat rate is flat rate.

I am learning Mobile HVAC . I don't find many pro level (with theory) videos like yours for automotive which is why I'm here . I have an older recovery machine Robinair RG3 with no purge knob. Manual says to remove refrigerant out of condenser in machine after you finish recovery operation to prevent possible damage to machine. Manual just says transfer to another container. How would this be accomplished? Thanks for any and all help Ty

Very professional instruction. I liked the way you illustrated it. Standing behind and allowing everybody to clearly see each hose and how it was connected. Very clear. Thanks.I gave it a thumbs up and subscribed.

When you purged the air from the lines - having the high side closed would leave air in that hose, would it not?

You're Awesome! Why do people act like this is so difficult to learn? You're an amazing instructor. I've been trying to learn about HVAC on my own for the last 2 years and have learned so much from watching your videos. I am very confident in myself doing a recovery, and pulling a vacuum, I have always had electrical troubleshooting experience from working on hot side restaurant equipment, I just wanted to be a HVAC tech but couldn't afford school, Now that I know what I know, I'm glad I didn't. I have become Universal certified from watching your videos and studying on my on. I have come to the reality that I'm 50 years young and no one will probably ever hire me in this trade. However, Im going to keep learning because I love this stuff! Lol... Thank You!

Try that on a HOT ROOF, ADD AN HOUR !! LOL

Nice video. Why we did not see the manifold red hose purged? 🤔....
To avoid purging the red hose with liquid refrigerant I would open the manifold low and high valves and purge the red hose at the condenser port. But wait you can't do that with low loss hose!
This is one the reasons why I always use ball valve hoses.

Wouldn't there be trapped air in the liquid line? Beginner question

[thesaneparty]

cool- didn't note whether you needed to pull a vacuum on the tank first.

[eddiegomez]

The last table, I didn’t understand. The number 4 and 10 are inches of Hg vacuum?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Do you have any video where you show how to recovery refrigerant but without recovery machine. Thanks in advance

[samersarah]

Hi Ty! Is this machine can handle some liquid because the service valve for liquid line is open? How can the liquid flow to tank if there is some refrigerant in the tank it will push it out?💐Thank you.🌷

Perfect teacing technique. Thank you. raphael nyc

Bigger systems, energized crankcase heaters and turn all chilled water pumps on!
Thanks again for the videos!!!
They also make safety sun glasses! 🕶

With that g5 if you need to restart the pump under pressure and not remove the hoses, close your manifold gauges then close the inlet valve to equalize the recovery machine then slowly open the inlet valve and reopen your gauges. Also to get rid of liquid after your recovery. Close your gauges then close the inlet valve with the pump still running. It will recirculate what is in the pump and super heat the liquid, let it run for 30 seconds then close your tank and shut off the pump, you shouldnt have any liquid in your hoses.

G5 Twin should be stored with both valves open and no caps on the ports. If caps are left on then they need to be left loose so pressure won't build up.

[Boxmediaphile]

What if the service ports are only on the suction and discharge pipes?

[conrad]

I've never liked purging, it's a guessing game as to when the purge is complete - a waste of refrigerant if it's too long, or allowing contaminates into your recovery tank if it's too short. Put a core removal tool on the recovery tank and use it as a valved tee. This allows you to use your vacuum pump to very quickly pull all the air out of all the lines and your recovery machine. Only takes a couple minutes

[matthewamann]

What if I did reclaim from liquid just wondering

[Uniquely]

Thanks a lot man. I found this Very helpful.
