Great video tutorial. So these new condensers don’t come pre-charge with any refrigerant?

[@alexthehandyman3494]

Hello Yes they do. This one in particular is 5 years old and it lost its refrigerant through a leaky valve.

So you ran the evacuation pump with the hoses reversed? It pulled from the tank and spit it into the low side of the system? I’ve never seen that before. Well done. So you can pull down to 200 microns with just an evacuation pump? I saw a dedicated vacuum pump there. You didn’t use that? Why do most guys have both then? Did it just take longer? Thanks. Great vid.

Morning Richard, Yes the recovery machine doesn't know what is transferring to. It is a device to transfer refrigerant (recover ) from one place to another. From the condenser through the recovery machine to the tank. In this case is going from the tank through the recovery machine to the condenser. It is important to use dedicated hoses to recover and different hoses to vacuum. Vacuum hoses need to be clean to pull an easier vacuum. Yes the vacuum pulled easily to 200 microns. It took me 5 min. It is important to mention that on the vacuum I used thicker hoses and no restrictions. When using regular 1/4 houses with cores and core depressors it can take easily 20-30 minutes. Thanks you so much for your support!!!

@alexthehandyman3494 Thanks for the boatload of info! I have a cheap vacuum pump I've used for my car But always wanted an inexpensive recovery machine. Maybe, just maybe. Thanks again
