How Much Refrigerant Can a Recovery Cylinder Hold?

- It is surprising how some things that at first seem like they would be simple are in fact, not. This is the case with recovery cylinders in particular. The short ''Answer" is that a typical recovery cylinder with a water capacity of 47.6 will hold 40 lbs. of refrigerant, plus the tare weight.

Just fill it to 80 % of the water capacity, close enough
Be careful with that
You making this more complicated than needed lol 😆
Great explanation! Keep the great work!
Awesome explanation brother, I had to watch this video like 3 times to get it but I think I got it now!! lol I really appreciate it !
Very helpful. Thank you
Well not exactly weird but, I did want to know how much I could actually put into a recovery cylinder. You see a lot of videos showing how to recover. Not many of those show how much you can recover into the cylinder. Most of those videos are not complete. So, it was a good video and very informational. Thanks. I subscribed and gave it a thumbs up.
Thanks for the helpful explanation.
Why 130 deg, is it set by AHRI?
Thanks
there's this new recovery device called a bucket, it has infinite refrigerant volume capacity but requires everyone to wear spf-100 sunscreen.
Recovery rag is more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Where do you find the Liquid Density for other refrigerants?
That information can be found online, usually in the refrigerants technical specifications.
What do you do with the recovered R-22? Can it be reused directly on a low R-22 service call or transferred to a green R-22 source tank?
In this case, we put it back into this system after completing some work. The green tanks actually have a check valve that prevents them from being refilled, and if you read on the tanks they state that refilling and transporting those tanks is a felony, punishable by up to a 50,000 dollar fine. In the actual recovery tanks however, you could reuse it in a different system but you'd want to run it through a filter drier. Ultimately it can be recycled at your distributor.
@@ReubenSahlstrom That makes sense.
Thx!!
@@ReubenSahlstrom technically recovered refrigerant can only be used in the same system it came out of per epa standards.
@@extremeair1199 Yeah I hadn't realized that until about a year ago. Seems like a reasonable rule from a contamination standpoint, but not so reasonable from an environment standpoint. Seems like it would make sense to use it up rather than have to commercially break it down and recycle it.
@@ReubenSahlstrom yea of course and I'm not saying most people don't do it anyway. If you change out a working r22 system and recover let's say 8 pounds wouldn't it make sense to use it up on the next r22 system?
Need to be more specific with your units
what about tare weight?
Tare weight is for knowing how much refrigerant is in the tank, but if you plan to entirely fill the tank you're supposed to do the equation for each refrigerant.
@@ReubenSahlstrom WORD
Package units? All by yourself? There ain't nothin u can't do.
This unit (although it looks like a package unit) is actually not. It has a huge air handler, and it actually used for dehumidification in a meat processing plant.
