Operational Safety WARNING: Inhalation of high concentrations of refrigerant vapors is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death. Deliberate inhalation of refrigerants is extremely dangerous and death may occur without warning. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air. Decomposition products are hazardous. Liquid contact can cause frostbite. All refrigerant containers, equipment, and hoses are under high pressure. Avoid breathing high concentrations of vapors. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep operator exposure below recommended limits, especially in enclosed and low lying areas. Avoid contact of liquid with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Wear safety goggles and protective gloves. Do not apply open flame or heat unit above 125 F. Do not allow refrigerants to contact open flame. Decomposition will occur. FIRST AID: If high concentrations of refrigerant vapors are inhaled, immediately remove person(s) to fresh air. Keep calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a doctor. Do not give epinephrine or similar drugs. EYE: In case of liquid contact, immediately flush eye with water. Seek medical attention. SKIN: Flush with water. Treat for frostbite by gently warming the affected area. CAUTION: All refrigerant hoses, recovery tanks, refrigerant lines, the Stinger unit, and other vessels containing refrigerants should be handled at all times as if under high pressure. 6

Vapor/Liquid Recovery Operations Follow these directions when recovering refrigerant that is either in vapor or liquid form. Recovering liquid directly into the compressor will be referred to as direct liquid recovery. Liquid recovery using the push-pull method will be referred to as liquid push-pull recovery. Note: Refer to the Recovering R-410A section when recovering R-410A. 1. Turn off all electrical or mechanical power to the refrigerant device to be evacuated. Make proper hose connections. Connect refrigerant hoses to recovery cylinder, Stinger, and A/C system as shown on the next page. When possible use a manifold gauge set to recover from both the high and low side service ports. This will speed up your recovery rates. CAUTION: If the 80% shutoff cord is not used, a scale must be used to monitor the refrigerant level in the recovery cylinder in order to prevent overfilling. CAUTION: When recovering R-410A, you must use a recovery cylinder approved for use with R-410A. Standard recovery cylinders with 350 psi working pressures are not approved for use with R-410A. 2. Place the inlet and outlet ball valves in the OPEN position and the PURGE valve to the RECOVERY position. Open the DOT recovery tank valve. 3. Turn the Compressor switch to the ON position. The compressor will begin to recover refrigerant. Note: When recovering liquid, in rare instances a knocking sound may come from the compressor. This indicates that too much liquid is entering the compressor. The inlet ball valve must be regulated (closed) until this knocking sound stops, otherwise compressor damage could occur. Pumping liquid when the compressor is knocking will damage the compressor, reduce the compressor life, and void the compressor warranty. This condition is rare and should not occur under normal recovery operations. 4. The recovery procedure is complete when the system pressure is below mandatory EPA levels. Turn the STINGER off by placing the Compressor switch to the OFF position. To purge the unit: a. Turn the Stinger compressor OFF. b. Position the inlet and purge ball valves to the PURGE position (both pointing DOWN). This should be done with the unit off. c. Turn the Compressor ON and monitor the inlet gauge. The purge operation is complete when the inlet pressure gauge shows a vacuum. 9

Standard Recovery Hose Connections IMPORTANT NOTES FOR RECOVERY LIQUID Do not pump virgin refrigerant with the Stinger. Unlike recovered refrigerant, virgin refrigerant does not contain oil. Pumping virgin refrigerant through the Stinger will remove all lubrication from the bearings and result in premature bearing failure. Use the liquid pushpull method or the liquid pull method to transfer large amounts of liquid refrigerant (virgin or dirty). Attention: You must use an INLET FILTER when recovering liquid. Contaminants (particularly from the bottom of recovery cylinders) can enter the STINGER and become lodged in the ball valve seats causing damage and resulting in leaks. Any standard in-line filter will work.

Push Pull Liquid Recovery Operations Attention: Before attempting liquid push-pull recovery operations, please review this page. It may not be possible to use the Push-Pull Liquid Recovery Method. A scale or liquid sight glass can be used to determine when all the liquid is recovered. The STINGER will not pull a vacuum using the push-pull liquid recovery operation. To finish the recovery operation, you must proceed to vapor recovery operations. Guidelines: If any of these conditions are present in the system being evacuated, liquid push pull operations may not be practical and vapor recovery operations should be performed. The equipment contains less than 20 lbs. of refrigerant. The equipment is a heat pump or other system with refrigerant flow that would prevent you from isolating the liquid. Equipment has an accumulator between the service ports used in the liquid recovery process. Liquid refrigerant migration has occurred and the location of the liquid is unknown. The refrigerant tubing design on the equipment does not allow for a solid column of liquid refrigerant to be formed. STEPS: Liquid Push-Pull recovery requires the use of a third hose. In addition, an inline sight-glass is useful for determining when all of the liquid has been pushed out of the system. After all the liquid has been pushed out, you will need to reconfigure the hoses for vapor recovery since Liquid Push-Pull recovery does not pull a vacuum on the system. 1. Turn off power to the refrigerant device to be evacuated. 2. Make proper hose connections for Push-Pull recovery as shown in the diagram on the next page. CAUTION: If the 80% shutoff cord is not used, a scale must be used to monitor the refrigerant level in the recovery cylinder in order to prevent overfilling. CAUTION: When recovering R-410A, you must use a recovery cylinder approved for use with R-410A. Standard recovery cylinders with 350 psi working pressures are not approved for use with R-410A. 3. Place the inlet and outlet ball valves in the OPEN position and the PURGE valve to the PURGE position. NOTE: The PURGE position bypasses the condenser, optimizing your push-pull flow rate. 11

OPEN CLOSED RECOVER OPEN PURGE CLOSED Push Pull Liquid Operations Continued 4. Open the DOT recovery tank vapor and liquid valves as shown below. 5. Turn the STINGER Compressor ON. The compressor will begin to pull vapors from the cylinder and push the liquid out of the system and into the recovery cylinder. 6. If you are using a sight-glass, you should watch it to determine when all of the liquid has been removed from the system. 7. Liquid Push-Pull Recovery will not pull a vacuum in the system. You must turn the STINGER compressor OFF and reconfigure the hoses for Vapor Recovery Operations.

Liquid-Pull Recovery Method The liquid Pull-Method is used to move a lot of liquid refrigerant without the refrigerant passing directly through the STINGER. The virgin refrigerant is pulled directly into the system being charged. The STINGER keeps the pressure low in the system by removing vapor. For every one pound of vapor removed, as much as 25 pounds of refrigerant may be transferred. This method can be used for either virgin refrigerant or really dirty refrigerant.

Use the liquid pushpull method or the liquid pull method to transfer large amounts of liquid refrigerant (virgin or dirty). 13

R-410A Recovery Special Notes R-410A is a new replacement refrigerant for R-22. Its physical properties, however, are much different than R-22. R-410A has a higher vapor pressure and is much more dense than R-22. These characteristics make recovering R-410A more difficult by putting more of a load on the recovery compressor. Please follow the instructions below to ensure trouble-free recovery operations with R-410A. CAUTION: USE ONLY DOT RECOVERY CYLINDERS APPROVED FOR USE WITH R-410A. Overfilling or over-pressurizing your recovery cylinder is extremely dangerous! Under normal operating conditions the STINGER can recover R-410A just like R-22. However, under certain conditions, because of R-410A s higher vapor pressure and density you will have to take the following precautions: Note: Hose connections are the same for recovering R-410A. Connect hoses as shown in the vapor recovery diagram. WHEN RECOVERING VAPOR: If the STINGER sounds like it is overloaded either by slowing down or by making a knocking sound, reduce the inlet pressure by closing or throttling the inlet valve until the STINGER begins to run normally. WHEN RECOVERING LIQUID: The inlet pressure on the STINGER should be throttled below 100 psi by slowly closing the inlet valve. This will prevent a loud knocking sound and prevent compressor damage. Throttle inlet pressure below 100 psi when recovering liquid R-410A.

Approved Cylinder WEIGH SCALE LBS. Use the proper R-410A cylinder! 14

Purging the Stinger The STINGER is equipped with a pump-down purge valve that allows the technician to pump down or evacuate the STINGER before proceeding to the next recovery operation. This procedure not only eliminates cross contamination, but also conserves refrigerant. Follow the steps below to ensure your pump down operation is performed correctly. STEPS: 1. After recovery operations are complete and the system switch is in the OFF position: FIRST Place the inlet valve in the PURGE position (Pointing Down). SECOND Place the purge valve in the PURGE position (Pointing Down). THIRD Place the outlet valve in the OPEN position as illustrated below. It is important to turn the valves in this order to ensure the compressor properly equalizes. 2. Allow the unit to run until the inlet gauge indicates that there is an adequate vacuum present. 3. Turn the system switch to the OFF position and turn the outlet valve to the CLOSE position. Close the inlet and outlet valves on the DOT recovery tank. During the Pump Down operation, the STINGER S compressor pulls the entire system and discharge hose into a vacuum and discharges the gas directly out of the discharge port leaving no more than 0.1 ounce of refrigerant left in the system. RECOVER 1. Inlet valve in Purge Position (Down). OPEN PURGE OPEN 2. Purge Valve in the purge position (Down). CLOSED PURGE 3. Outlet Valve open (Up). 15

DOT Recovery Cylinder Safety WARNING! This machine is capable of over-pressurizing a DOT recovery cylinder. Ensure that you are using the proper DOT recovery cylinder for the refrigerant that you are recovering. R-410A is capable of pressures exceeding 600 psi. Typical DOT recovery cylinders are rated at 350 psi working pressure with a pressure relief set at 550 psi. These cylinders should not be used with R-410A. Only cylinders rated at 400 psi working pressure with the relief valve setting at 600 psi should be used to recover R-410A. Failure to use the proper cylinder can be extremely dangerous! An optional 80% recovery cylinder shutoff cord is available with the STINGER. If equipped, this cord connects to the recovery cylinder float switch and will automatically shut the STINGER off when the recovery cylinder becomes 80% full. When the STINGER is equipped with the 80% shutoff cord, Bacharach Test Systems recommends that you use this cord for added safety. If the STINGER is not equipped with a 80% shutoff cord, or, If you are using a recovery cylinder that does not have a float switch, then you must use a scale and the guidelines below to prevent overfilling of the cylinder. Note: The shorting cap must be used in order to operate the STINGER without the 80% shutoff cord attached to the recovery cylinder. Bacharach Test Systems uses and recommends the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute's (ARI) Guideline K for the safe filling and handling of used refrigerant. This Publication is available from ARI at http://www.ari.org. The following information provides the safe fill weights for used refrigerant based on the size of the container and is in accordance with Guideline K: WATER CAPACITY NET REFRIGERANT WEIGHT GROSS CONTAINER WEIGHT (APPROX.) 30 lbs 24 lbs 38 lbs 50 lbs 40 lbs 59 lbs 95 lbs 76 lbs 118 lbs 145 lbs 98 lbs 153 lbs 238 lbs 190 lbs 274 lbs 16

Recovery Tips 1. Use the shortest hoses possible for the job. Long hoses increase the recovery time. Remove all restrictions in the hoses. Hoses with ball valves on the ends are better than hoses that are self-sealing. Remove Schrader core valves when possible from service ports. 2. Always identify the refrigerant you are recovering. This will minimize cross contamination and help you plan for the amount of refrigerant you will be recovering. 3. Always pump liquid out of the system first, and then recover the remaining vapors. This will speed up recovery rates significantly. 4. With large amounts of refrigerant, use the liquid push pull recovery method. This is three times faster than recovering liquid directly. Refer to the liquid push-pull instructions in this manual. 5. When possible, recover from both the high and low side service port on the system you are recovering from. This will speed up your recovery rate. Note: Although using a manifold gauge set will speed up the recovery process, a manifold gauge set is not required. Recover from the liquid and vapor ports at the same time LIQUID Identify the refrigerant in the system before recovering VAPOR CLOSED OPEN Use short hoses VAPOR LIQUID.
