INVENTOR CF-ION-10L User Manual page 15

refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for
holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the
recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant(i.e special cylinders for the recovery of
refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off
valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and , if possible, cooled
before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable
refrigerants.
In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and good condition. Before
using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly
maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in
the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer of in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery
cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery
units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated
to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the
lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to
the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate
this process. When oil drained form a system, it shall be carried out safely.
