I really like how you showed how to purge that machine after the recovery process. I’ve always wondered if there was a way to clean out those machines if we are using them for different refrigerants. But that closing the valve and letting the machine run a minute into the tank to purge seems like a good option. Thanks for the video!

Congratulations to you for this wonderful achievement and the beautiful explanation. I have a request for you. I want a practical video on how to convert a split system from a 22 system to a 410 gas system.

Thanks brother! I am in the automotive field, yet found this video to be incredibly helpful! So much helpful information. And most of the HVAC can be directly applied to automotive if you know what you are looking at. Thank you for taking the time to describe how to properly perform these functions. I watched all 3! Great job man! Liked and subbed!🤟

Life long carpenter playing hvac at home.I have a provax recovery machine.4 line 2 guage manual guage.I have followed along best as I could as my machine is different then yours..I have no idea how to read the gages on the manifold really or what the gages on the machine mean.I do the purge as my manual explained.I do not get any liquid spray when opening tank a bit yo see just air comes out.My tank is 14 lbs.I set my knobs for recovery mode flip the compressor switch..It starts and runs for maybe 1 or 2 minutes then compressor shuts off but machine is still on cooling fans running but the compressor should run longer correct? Tank weight went to 14.5 lbs

No it's an automatic safety feature you need to purge the line at the tank and then once you're sure there's liquid coming out you can open up the valve on the tank and then the machine will start back up for you.

Do you of to use a recovery machine to recovery the refrigerant? Nth else.

Well, you need a recovery tank, too. But (not shown] you could also do passive recovery and not use a machine at all and just use the AC's compressor do the pumping. Assuming it's operational.

Sir if I recover liquid direct from condenser of chiller. compressor of recovery machine may be damaged???
@hvacjames509

Correct. You must recover as vapor. In residential it's mostly vapor if the unit has been sitting but big chillers contain lots of liquid. But there is a more important reason for recovering as vapor from a chiller. If you pull the refrigerant out too fast, the remaining refrigerant will expand and absorb heat thus freezing the water in the chiller and potentially damaging the chiller. Also, always keep the water flowing or drained when recovering a chiller.

If it's a virgin tank, then yes. But recovery tanks have a dip tube, so you can get liquid out without turning it upside down.

When you recover what are you recovering, liquid or vapor?
@hvacjames509

Recovery machines typically have standard compressors in them. So they're incapable of pumping liquid so recovery is always coming out of the system as vapor but then it condenses in the recovery machine and puts it into the recovery tank as liquid.
