Description / Abstract:
The purpose of this SAE Standard is to provide equipment
specifications for the recovery of HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant to
be returned to a refrigerant reclamation facility that will process
it to the appropriate ARI 700 Standard or allow for recycling of
the recovered refrigerant to SAE J2210 specifications by using
Design Certified equipment of the same ownership. It is not
acceptable that the refrigerant removed from a mobile
air-conditioning (A/C) system, with this equipment be directly
returned to a mobile A/C system.
This information applies to equipment used to service
automobiles, light trucks, and other vehicles with similar HFC-134a
(R-134a) A/C systems.
