ABSTRACT:
A refrigerant recovery system is operated to withdraw compressible refrigerant from a refrigeration system by first withdrawing liquid refrigerant from the system being serviced through a suitable conduit and delivering the withdrawn refrigerant directly to a refrigerant storage means. In the refrigerant storage means at least a portion of the refrigerant so withdrawn exists in gaseous form and a portion of this is withdrawn from the storage means and passed serially through a compressor, a condenser, and a refrigerant expansion device before being delivered back to the refrigerant storage means where is evaporates and absorbs heat from the refrigerant within the storage means thereby cooling the storage means and lowering the pressure therein to thereby increase the withdrawal of the liquid refrigerant from the refrigeration system through the conduit. The system controlled parameters including temperature of the refrigerant and the storage means, and compressor suction and discharge pressure are sensed. A detectable change in the value of these system control parameters occur at a time which may be correlated at a time at which the state of the refrigerant being withdrawn from the refrigeration system changes from liquid to vapor. This information is used to shift the system from a liquid recovery mode of operation to a vapor recovery mode.
