Recovery devices need to be tested to ensure they meet EPA requirements. The EPA approves two organizations to certify recycling and recovery equipment: AHRI (the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute), and. UL (the Underwriters Laboratories).

Reclaimed refrigerant is that which has been sent to an EPA-listed reclamation facility, where it is processed and returned to a state, which meets the appropriate ARI 700 specification. The standards of purity for reclaimed refrigerant are much higher than those for recycled refrigerant.

Overview. The sales restriction is established by EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F ) under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act. Only EPA-certified technicians are allowed to purchase ozone-depleting substances (ODS) or non-ozone depleting substitutes used as refrigerants, with limited exceptions.

EPA has approved the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to certify recycling and recovery equipment. Both organizations can provide information on certified equipment.

We can monitor the fill of the recovery container by using one of the following: Mechanical float devices, Electronic shut off devices, or. Gross cylinder weight.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that if flammable refrigerant cylinders are to be stored in an enclosure, the enclosure be secure and ventilated. They cannot be enclosed in confined spaces, containers, or lockers.

In general, recycled refrigerant is refrigerant that is cleaned using oil separation and single or multiple passes through devices, such as replaceable core filter-driers, which reduce moisture, acidity, and particulate matter.
