The Ultimate Guide to HVAC Refrigerant Recovery! #hvac #HVACTips | The DIY HVAC Guy

tips for faster refrigerant recovery. 1st, flip the tank upside down and use the vapor port 2nd larger hose to the recovery tank. 3rd ditch the manifold and use a Wye or the connector directly at the recovery machine 4th ditch the 1/4 hoses and use 3/8 hoses for faster flow. 5th use valve core removal tools VCRT to remove the restriction of the shradee valve cores 6th use a subcooler between the recovery machine and tank in a bucket of ice water. This will lower the tank temperature and pressure

How Freon Really Works: Proper Charging Explained In today’s HVAC breakdown, we explain how Freon works, how to properly check charge levels, and why temperature, pressure, and stabilization time all matter for accurate readings. We walk through: How heat is absorbed by the refrigerant line Why the suction line temperature should sit around 40°F, depending on pressure The relationship between actual line temperature vs. saturation temperature Why Freon needs time (5–15 minutes) to stabilize befo
