HVAC Recovery Procedure: Machine, Tank, Tools Used Step by Step! Recovering Refrigerant!

In this HVAC Recovery Training Video, I go over how to recover the refrigerant out of a system since the compressor internal relief valve was too weak to do a pump down. I go over the recovery machine and tank set up along with the tools and the process used to recover the refrigerant. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

i like these videos of everyone working on ac units. I keep seeing everyone use the ends of the CRT for the hose placement. When you do this like that for recovery/evacuation it means that you have to constantly remove and replace your hoses. If you take the cores out of that side port on the CRT you can leave the hoses in place on the side ports for any operation you have to do. Also you can leave the vacuum in operation when you put the cores back in place. Great video i just wanted to lend my professional opinion on the use of Core Removal Tools.

Nice couple of videos, Craig. Nice seeing this in action.

And do you use different hoses for different refrigerants?

[billbanek]

acservicetech do you work on walk in coolers or ice machines. If you do will you start making videos on them in the future.Your a excellent teacher easy to understand.

You said youhad the Service hose attached to the filter drier?

Hello, thank you for this video. I have a question - my R22 recovery bottle has the red and the blue valves but my R22 manifold has the yellow input house. Do you know by any chance where I connect the yellow house, to the red or the blue valves? I want o to recharge my system from the recovery bottle.

[katcook]

Are you connecting to the liquid or vapor port on the recovery tank? I've seen that the colors don't always correspond on different recovery tanks, but you just said "blue side" for tank connection. Thank you

[ilovenythismuchilovenewyor]

what recovery tank you recommend craig I don't see it listed

[tonymoran]

You should have a weekend ‘hands on’ HVAC class. I would be there in a heartbeat. Btw, this is exactly what I need to do tomorrow, so thanks!

Will the machine cross contaminate different refrigerants?

[jimbola]

thumb's up!!! acservicetech I never doubt your work you share love all your video's very well explained!!!!

[dcrickerson]

Huge fan of your videos. Im a service tech in Pa for a few months now. Installer for 1yr. But when I recover on a system and then do a micron test or vacuum. I get confused with the shradder core removal tools, and when to remove the shradders so you dont lose a vacuum. Do you remove them before recovery or once you recover and put positive pressure in the system. Thank you and keep up the great videos. Without these i would still be an installer lol trying things for the first time and figuring it out is a great feeling and thats what keeps me going. I dont have the time to go to school or take classes. But these videos are all i can ask for. Thank you

[riceballu]

Can you make a video of when to open and close the kings valve? Also if you have some pressure and feon in the ac system, how do you pull a vacuum before adding new feon? Do you have to recovery before adding it?

[sal]

nicely explained! but what was the reason to put a little nitrogen in the system to bring it up to 0psig?

[robertmonier]

What would cause a hot recovery tank or frosting on a hose during recovery?
