VII, Push-pull recovery method
●This method is recommended to use a large number of CFC
recovery system (more than 5kg).It can shorten the time of
recycling the CFC liquid directly, and in a gaseous form of
recycling residual CFC (Freon).

1、The following systems do not apply this method:

a; Less than 5kg refrigerant refrigerator or air conditioning
system.
b；Using a heat pump or valve system.
c；Use pressure accumulator system.
