 Deep Vacuum System

The new VS-29 Deep Vacuum System is designed with the larger refrigerant user in mind. Used in series with an appropriate reclaim/recovery system it recovers selected refrigerants from deep vacuum levels (29 in. / 737 mm hg) normally not realized in day -to-day operations. Its patented design makes it suited to any size cylinder or system with no overheating.This provides efficiency and savings by recovering refrigerant that exists between normal vacuum limits and that of deep levels. It is ideal for distributors, large contractors, OEMs, marine users and more.

AS GOOD AS GOLD

 

Increase the efficiency of your day-to-day operations and realize the extra profit.

 

Recent technological advances by Van Steenburgh Engineering Laboratories make the management and retention of valuable refrigerant easier and more efficient. The following information shows how to take advantage of these engineering innovations and add more profit to your operations .

 

Field Study Application

 

Recent field tests have validated the use of the Van Steenburgh VS-29 Deep Vacuum System and Van Steenburgh refrigerant recovery/reclaim system in series. With the ability of the VS-29 Deep Vacuum System to "pull" any system or cylinder into a 29 in. / 737 mm Hg vacuum, this combination means a near complete elimination of residual refrigerant.

A VS-29/RV-10 combination system was hooked to a five station automatic charging system at a major OEM facility. The system is currently running 16 hours a day. The five automatic charging stations are hooked to a manifold that is maintained at 25 in. / 635 mm Hg vacuum. When units are charged on the assembly line, the remaining refrigerant is pulled to the manifold and into a VS-29. Using the above diagram the refrigerant is sent to an RV-10 recovery system where it is transferred to a waiting cylinder.

 

Results: 2.67 lbs. / 1.21 kg of refrigerant per hour are salavged from the charging lines.

       Recovery Systems: move refrigerants from one place to another.

    Recycle Systems: capture refrigerants and do some cleaning

       Reclaim Systems: return refrigerants to virgin (purity) specifictions , meeting ARI 700 Standards for resale
