YELLOW JACKET® RecoverXLT™ recovery machine

The YELLOW JACKET® RECOVERXLT2-AP™ recovery machine…

The drive to lower global warming potential refrigerants with increased flammability has necessitated the evolution of the market leading YELLOW JACKET® RecoverXLT™ recovery machine: The new RecoverXLT2-AP™ Refrigerant Recovery Machine with twin cylinder 1/2 hp oil less compressor and gravity drain condenser. The unique “ambient pressure switch” and three meter power cord comply with the current safety requirements. The RecoverXLT2-AP is specifically designed for the new lower GWP refrigerants including R-32, R-1234yf and R-1234ze as well as the most common CFC, HFC and HFO refrigerants, including R-22, R-404A, R-407, R-410A, R-448A and R-449A.

Set yourself up to work smart. Surround yourself with the hardest working, highest performing tools available. The YELLOW JACKET RecoverXLT2-AP and other YELLOW JACKET service tools for the HVAC/R service professional.

How did France manage to avoid the issue of 45 Mt eq. CO2? Recovery and regeneration of refrigerants. See video (French). Also view additional videos below.

FEATURES

1/2 hp, twin cylinder, oil-less compressor for fast recovery of Class III, IV and V refrigerants including R-32, R-1234yf and R-1234ze.

Safe venting of case interior prior to start up.

Low pressure switch stops recovery above ambient pressure for leaking systems to prevent pulling air into recovery cylinders.

Low pressure bypass for recovery of leak-free systems.Patented single valve control for easy changeover from liquid to vapor to purge.

Auto purge clears residual refrigerant for quick change from one refrigerant to another.

Condenser with gravity drain keeps recovery tank up to 10° cooler for reliable operation in high ambient conditions.

Lightweight case designed for easy carrying.

One year warranty.

Designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.

Community college enrollment is down, but skilled-trades programs are booming

Since the pandemic began, more than a million students have held off from going to college, opting to work instead. Two-year public schools have been among the hardest hit — they're down about three-quarters of a million students. Skilled-trades programs are the exception. Across the country, associate's degree programs in fields like HVAC and automotive repair have seen enrollment numbers swell.

CRF Water Condensers

CRF

Shell and Tube Horizontal

Super-Efficient

Water Cooled Condensers

CRF (Condenser Refrigerant Fresh) water condensers offer a more compact heat exchanger with greater efficiency and a high level of durability. The CRF condenser has been developed for HFC/HFO cooling applications at medium and high pressure for refrigeration, process cooling, and air conditioning.


Standard Designs

Available in standard designs for fluid duty, CRF condensers feature high-efficiency tube surfaces, and they are available in 34 catalog models from 4 to 610 horsepower (HP). They are optimized with a smaller footprint, which results in smaller space requirements and a lower refrigerant charge. For glycol duty, please consult ProSuite selection software or contact the factory.


Tube Materials

CRF condensers are manufactured with high efficiency 3/4″ OD copper tubing to provide improved performance in a smaller unit. Heavy wall tube construction is available. The tubes can be easily serviced with commonly available tube cleaning equipment.


Configuration and Customization

CRF units offer a horizontal, cleanable tube design. The CRF range can be configured to match your or your client’s requirements. Standard Refrigeration now offers 3D SolidWorks drawings at the time of the quote. This will minimize the overall lead time and offer you or the end-user a quick, accurate, and effective design.

Benefits


- Provides the maximum efficiency at a low cost per HP

- Compact design with about 15% to 20% shorter overall length and lower weight compared with HSE and SST units

- Fully configurable

- Water flow is optimized to reduce fouling and erosion risks

- Multiple tube length options to match operating conditions with different approach temperature requirements

- High efficiency tubes provide an overall performance increase versus HSE and SST models, while keeping the water pressure drop at the same level

- Refrigerant connections have been optimized to minimize the pressure drop

- Designed for R22, R134a, R404A, R407C/F, R410A, R507 and HFO1234ze

- Designed to operate at a maximum allowable working pressure, MAWP, of 650 psi., which allows the use of all commonly used refrigerants
