STORAGE CONTAINERS FOR RECYCLED REFRIGERANT

1. Use only DOT CFR Title 49 containers for recycled refrigerant. Never collect, salvage, or store recycled refrigerant in a disposable container.
2. Before any container of recycled refrigerant is used, it must be checked for non-condensable gases (air). Refer to CHECKING RECYCLED REFRIGERANT.

TRANSFERRING RECYCLED REFRIGERANT

1. Use only DOT approved containers and evacuate to at least 27 in Hg (75 mm Hg absolute pressure) before transferring refrigerant.
2. To prevent overfilling during transfer, never fill container more than 60% of its gross weight rating (18 lb. in a 30 lb. container and 30 lb. in a 50 lb. container).

EVACUATING DISPOSABLE CONTAINERS

1. "Empty" disposable containers still contain traces of refrigerant. Evacuate before disposing of container.
2. Connect recovery/recycling unit to container and evacuate remaining refrigerant. Once container shows a vacuum, close valve. Mark container "EMPTY" and properly dispose of.
