Recovery of 1234YF AC system with home made machine

[@en2oh]

nicely done. wish you detailed your recovery build ie what fittings you have used etc. Re Venting R134a. When you call it a refrigerant, it's subject to a lot of EPA rules (as it should be) but when it's used as a propellant, the story is quite different. Good news is "Yes, it is a greenhouse gas" but No, "it doesn't deplete the ozone!

So I'm going to be doing a YF recovery and will be buying a recovery machine, already have the gauges, tank, vac pump. Question do the hoses for the YF tank connect to a Vevor Recovery machine just says its a HCFC unit? Just wanna be sure I can hook directly to it and use it for recovery with YF equipment. Thanks for the Video, Pretty cool little unit you made! Casey

Great Job!!!!

[@larryseibold4287]

does your DIY pump pull as well as that older dedicated vacuum pump? Do you ever use vacuum (micron) gauges? Do you use a scale when filling, or just a sight glass?

JUST A friendly heads up referring to reusing a single use tank @ 3:12 . at my previous job we ran through allot of refrigerant. I used to do the same thing. We made adapters to use them as air tanks for airing up tires. Most single use tanks we ran into starting about 3 years ago had a new design fitting ontop and the cut the top off trick does not work anymore. I know the new valves were on tanks of 134a, 410a, 427a, 404a, MO99 and 407c refrigerants so u may want to keep any old tanks you have laying around. and yes KZbin code enforcement police I KNOW your not supposed to i know the inside of the tanks are not painted, i also know my original tank from like 5 years ago still works fine and compressed air is WAY less pressure than any Freon and is 25% of the pressure the tank is rated for so there's no way the tank will "burst" it may get a rust hole and leak out some day.

Hey man, you have some of the only videos on the web talking about pulling engines on eco boosts, I am wondering if I could get a little help. I have a unique project, to say the least?

Gotta be real careful when working with this new refrigerant. Special vacuum pumps and evac machine that won't produce any static, also contamination is a big deal. I've been hearing about dealers filling 1234yf systems with 134 because they can't get 1234 quick enough. Scary when you can't even trust the dealer

[@CrazedPerformanceRepair]

At least the 134 is less volatile so it's safer. The cooling properties are dang near identical otherwise so I don't think it will hurt anything.

@@CrazedPerformanceRepair i heard it's like using propane.. proceed with care.

Go to autozone, 22. Dollars a 8 oz can! Honeywell brand

[@CrazedPerformanceRepair]

Well that would be nice. At time of recording video no one even had can adapter's. Now I see they are available as well.
