Abstract
A refrigerant recovery/recycling system includes a source container fluidly connected to a recovery/recycling device via a vaporizer. Liquid refrigerant is introduced into the vaporizer via the source container and the vaporizer changes the refrigerant from a liquid into a vapor. In so doing, slow/no flow conditions of both the source container and the recovery/recycling device can be reduced, which increases the rate in which the recovery/recycling device is charged with refrigerant.
