Recovery Cylinders Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-RACLE-12770
Jlab Export is a leading Recovery Cylinders Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
A recovery cylinder holds refrigerant drawn out of a system before repair, so it can be stored and sent for recycling instead of being vented. This 17.99 lb model is the smallest of the three sizes. It has two 1/4 in flare couplings, one for liquid and one for vapour, plus a float switch, and suits R-410A and R-32.

Recovery Practicals in the RAC Lab
Before the first job, trainees pull the air out of the empty cylinder with one of the Fast Vacuum Pumps. They then connect a Refrigerant Recovery Machine between a split or window unit and the cylinder. The recovery runs while they watch the system pressure fall on the manifold gauges.
The cylinder stands on a Wireless Refrigerant Charging Scale during recovery, so the class can see the weight going in. Teachers use this to explain the fill limit: a recovery cylinder should not be filled above about 80 percent of its liquid capacity. Where the recovery machine has a float-switch input, the cylinder switch is wired to it so the machine stops at the full mark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must the cylinder not be filled to the top?
Liquid refrigerant expands as it warms. In a cylinder full of liquid the expansion has nowhere to go and the pressure climbs very fast. Stopping at about 80 percent of the liquid capacity leaves room for that expansion.
What are the two couplings for?
Both are 1/4 in flare. The gas coupling opens to the vapour space at the top. The liquid coupling reaches the liquid at the bottom, so liquid is drawn off on that side, while vapour recovery and evacuation use the gas side.
Can different refrigerants share one cylinder?
No. Keep each cylinder for one refrigerant and label it with that refrigerant. A mixed charge cannot be reused or recycled in the normal way and is costly to dispose of.
Does a new cylinder need evacuating?
Yes. Pull a vacuum on the empty cylinder before its first recovery so that air does not mix with the refrigerant. Air in a recovery cylinder raises its pressure and has to be purged off later.
