Worthington Recovery Cylinder 50# Refrigeration Recover Tank

The Worthington 285397P is a 50 pound refrigerant recovery cylinder for containing recovered refrigerant during service work.

Mixing refrigerants in a recovery cylinder creates a problem that is expensive to resolve. Recovered refrigerant of a single known type can be reclaimed and returned to service. A cylinder containing a mixture of two or more refrigerants generally cannot be separated economically and must be disposed of as waste, at a cost borne by the contractor.

Avoiding this requires discipline in cylinder management. Cylinders should be dedicated to a single refrigerant where the volume of work allows, labelled clearly and accurately with their actual contents rather than their intended contents, and evacuated before being switched to a different refrigerant.

The habit that causes most contamination is recovering into whichever cylinder is nearest at the end of a long day. The cost of that shortcut appears later at the reclaimer.

Cylinder condition also requires attention. A recovery cylinder is a pressure vessel with a service life, subject to periodic requalification. Cylinders showing corrosion, dents, gouges, or fire damage must be removed from service, and valve protection caps should be fitted whenever the cylinder is moved.

The 50 pound designation refers to water capacity. Observe the eighty percent fill limit by weight, using a scale rather than judgement, and confirm the requalification date before use.
