Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment is used to remove refrigerant from vehicle's A/C system without polluting atmosphere. To remove and recycle refrigerant, ALWAYS follow instructions provided with the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment being used.
The removed refrigerant is filtered, dried and stored in a tank within the recovery/recycling equipment until it is ready to be pumped back into the vehicle's A/C system.
NOTE:
Separate sets of hoses, manifold gauge set and refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment MUST be used for R-12 and R-134a systems. DO NOT mix R-12 and R-134a refrigerants, as their refrigerant oils and desiccants are NOT compatible.
Manufacturer recommends using A/C Refrigerant Recovery, Recycling And Recharging (ACR4) System (J-39500). The ACR4 system has one filtering cycle during recovery plus an automatic multiple pass filtering during evacuation cycle. Follow manufacturer's instructions provided with ACR4 equipment being used.
