Procedure for Fast Recovery
The goal of any technician is to recover all the refrigerant from an A/C system in as short
a time as possible. This refrigerant will typically be in both liquid and vapor states. The
TX200 should not be connected directly to a large source of liquid refrigerant, as this may
damage the unit. The following shows Cylinder 1 (special order from RTI) connected
between the A/C system and the TX200. Scale 3 should be used to prevent overfilling
Cylinder 1. The Liquid in the A/C system will be rapidly drawn into Cylinder 1 as the TX200
recovers vapor only and stores it in Cylinder 4. The liquid can be observed in Sight Glass
2 (special order from RTI) connected in-line.
When all the liquid is removed, Cylinder 1 should be removed and the TX200 connected
directly as shown in the next illustration. The TX200 will then rapidly draw all the remaining
vapor refrigerant from the A/C system.
Once the A/C system has been emptied, the TX200 can be reconnected to Cylinder 1 and
the remaining refrigerant recovered (this can be done while the technician is servicing the
A/C system).
