ABSTRACT:
A single pass refrigerant recovery device recovers refrigerant from a refrigeration system. The device includes at least one hose for withdrawing refrigerant from the refrigeration system and a first oil separator disposed downstream of the refrigerant hose. A filter is disposed downstream from the oil separator and a compressor is disposed downstream from the filter. A second oil separator is disposed downstream from the compressor, and the condensor is disposed downstream from the second oil separator. A moisture indicator is disposed downstream from the condensor, and a storage tank is disposed downstream from the moisture indicator. The refrigerant recovery device also contains an inventive oil separator/filter device that includes a canister having a first chamber portion for separating oil from the refrigerant and a second chamber portion for filtering refrigerant. An inlet is provided through which refrigerant can be introduced into the first chamber portion, and an oil outlet is provided for conducting oil from the first chamber portion. A filter cartridge is placeable in the second chamber portion. A refrigerant outlet is provided through which refrigerant can be withdrawn from the second chamber portion.
