Yellow Jacket Refrigerant Recovery Systems
RecoverXLT Refrigerant Recovery Machine
The Yellow Jacket RecoverXLT offers fully automatic operation for fast recovery of Class III, IV, and V refrigerants, including R-410A. It features a Constant Pressure Regulator (CPR) valve that automatically reduces refrigerant pressure without slugging the compressor. A single control valve allows easy switching between "liquid" and "vapor" settings for complete recovery.
Key Features:
- CPR valve for automatic pressure regulation.
- Single control valve for liquid, vapor, and purge settings.
- Advanced 1/2 hp, 3425 rpm oil-less compressor manufactured in an ISO-9001 facility.
- Automatic shut-off at 13" of vacuum, with automatic restart if system pressure rises.
- "Recovery Complete" indicator.
- Quiet operation with nested components to reduce vibration and noise.
- Controls and gauges are inset for protection and angled for easy viewing.
- Convenient cord storage.
- High efficiency fan for cool running in hot weather.
- High strength HDPE case for lightweight and rugged use.
- Single high pressure safety switch and external circuit breaker.
- Three-year compressor warranty.
- Made in the USA.
- Tested by UL to ARI 740-98.
RecoverX Refrigerant Recovery Machine
The Yellow Jacket RecoverX builds on the performance of the original RecoverX machine, offering a cost-effective solution for smaller systems and push/pull applications.
Key Features:
- Maximum airflow and cool running with a high-efficiency fan.
- High strength HDPE case for lightweight and rugged use.
- Whisper-quiet 1/6 hp oil-filled reciprocating hermetic compressor with an oil drain port for easy maintenance.
- Controls and gauges inset for protection and angled for easy access and viewing.
- High pressure switch with automatic reset and external circuit breaker.
- Made in the USA.
- Tested by UL to ARI 740-95.
Liquid and Vapor Recovery Setup
Liquid recovery is the fastest method, while vapor recovery is slower but more commonly used. Both are performed similarly, but liquid recovery requires a connection to the high side of the system.
Push/Pull Recovery Setup
This method quickly removes liquid refrigerant and is best for recovering more than 10 pounds of refrigerant. It requires a solid column of liquid and is suitable for systems without a heat pump, reversing valve, or accumulator. The unit shuts off automatically at 517 psi and features a reusable mesh particulate filter.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long has Yellow Jacket been manufacturing refrigerant recovery machines?
- Yellow Jacket began manufacturing refrigerant recovery machines in 1991.
- What refrigerants can RecoverX and RecoverXLT machines recover?
- Both machines are approved for medium and medium-high pressure refrigerants. The RecoverXLT is also approved for high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A.
- What is auto purge?
- Auto purge is a feature that quickly removes residual refrigerant from the machine at the end of a cycle, preventing contamination and illegal venting.
- Why do Yellow Jacket recovery machines feature a built-in filter?
- The built-in 80-mesh filter protects the machine from particles and debris found in refrigeration systems, maximizing service life. An acid core filter/drier is mandatory for burn-out systems.
- Can increased airflow benefit recovery cylinder pressure?
- Yes, the larger condenser and aggressive fan blade design allow the unit to run cooler, keeping the refrigerant cooler in the recovery cylinder.
- Can I service a Yellow Jacket system in the field?
- Yes, operation manuals provide troubleshooting tips and parts listings. Technical service is available by calling 1-800-769-8370, and training DVDs are available upon request.
