Refrigerant Recovery- Reasons?
DU - Dobson unit

• CFCs HCFCs
• because they destroy the ozone layer and threaten
  life on earth and also cause global warming
• HFCs
• because they cause global warming

Recovery, Recycling, Reclamation

• Recover Remove Refrigerant store in another
  container without any testing or processing
• Recycle Extract appliance refrigerant clean
  it for reuse without meeting the purity of the
  original refrigerant.
• Process separation of oil, moisture, acidity
  and particulate matter reduction removal of
  non-condensable.
• Reclaim Reprocess of used refrigerant to a
  purity level equivalent to a new product (gas)
  specifications eg. through distillation etc.

Methods of Recovery

• Passive
• No external recovery machine used
• Charge migration method
• Use of system compressor
• Active
• With a recovery machine

For Service Technician cost per kg of reclamation
will Rs. 150/- per kg. where as new refrigerant
cost Rs. 400-450/- per kg. So net saving of
almost Rs. 250-300/- per Kg.
