The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of
instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be
suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of
calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in
good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in
satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any
associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the
event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier
in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note
arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in
cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that
they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain
that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The
evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor
to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be
employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system,
it shall be carried out safely.
