What does recovery equipment do during service?

Recovery equipment is used to remove refrigerant from a system so it can be reused or disposed of properly. It connects to the system and captures the refrigerant, sending it into a recovery cylinder or recycling machine, which prevents any release to the atmosphere and helps meet environmental rules. This isn’t about heating refrigerant to improve flow, measuring refrigerant purity in real time, or venting refrigerant to the atmosphere. Those functions come from other tools or practices, not recovery equipment.
