Get Epa Refrigerant Recovery Form

No. EPA prohibits the sale of used refrigerant for use in an appliance unless that refrigerant has been reclaimed by an EPA certified reclaimer.

J2810 encompasses all of J1732 and adds performance standards requiring that the equipment recover 95 percent of the refrigerant from a vehicle within 30 minutes without prior engine operation or external heating at 21-24 degree Celsius ambient temperature.

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to establish the specific minimum equipment performance requirements for recovery and recycling of HFC-134a that has been directly removed from, and is intended for reuse in, mobile air-conditioning (A/C) systems.

In 2012, automobile manufacturers began the transition to new, climate-friendly alternative refrigerants. As a result of a July 2015 rulemaking, by model year 2021, the MVAC systems in newly manufactured light-duty vehicles in the United States will no longer use HFC-134a.

1,1,1,2- Tetrafluoroethane is used primarily as a refrigerant for “high-temperature” refrigeration, such as domestic refrigerators and automobile air conditioners.

Section 608 technician certification is required to purchase ozone depleting or non-exempt substitute refrigerants, such as HFC refrigerants. Section 609 technician certification is required to purchase CFC-12 or EPA-approved substitutes for MVACs containing an ODS.

A DNR refrigerant salvager/dismantling certificate and approval letter. This is for companies, individuals, and subcontractors who salvage or dismantle automobiles and use certified technicians and recovery equipment to salvage air-conditioning systems in mobile air conditioners.

R134a has pretty decent thermodynamic properties. With a broad temperature spectrum, relatively low working pressures and a good latent heat capacity, it is a great gas to use as a refrigerant for chilled water purposes.
