Rothenberger 40L Dual Valve Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder (Amtrol-Alfa, 42 Bar)

Designed to store the refrigerant in the system safely, without releasing it into the atmosphere, during maintenance, repair or dismantling of air conditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration systems, the Rothenberger Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder is a key aid for professionals in the field. With its large 40 liter volume and high-pressure-resistant construction, it lets you carry out refrigerant recovery on large systems smoothly and in compliance with legal standards (EN13322-1).

Full Control in Liquid and Vapor Phase with Dual Valve System (Y-Valve)

The integrated dual-port valve mechanism (Red and Blue valves) allows you to draw or push refrigerant separately in both the liquid and vapor (gas) phase. Thanks to this system, which works in full compatibility with your recovery unit, you can fill most efficiently according to the density of different refrigerant types and transfer the refrigerant in the system to the cylinder much faster.

Practical Usage Note for Field Technicians

Technician's Note: Never fill the cylinder to 100% capacity during refrigerant recovery. Always follow the 80% rule to leave room for expansion (do not exceed the safe limits for a 40 liter cylinder). Always use a precise refrigerant scale during the process. Also remember that the red valve on the cylinder is usually for "Liquid" and the blue valve for "Vapor (Gas)"; when connecting your recovery unit, you can speed up the work by opening the correct valve according to the state of the refrigerant.
