What does a technician need to consider regarding refrigerant types in their recovery system?

A technician needs to consider compatibility with various refrigerant mixtures because the recovery system must be able to handle different types and blends of refrigerants safely and effectively. Many systems may contain refrigerant mixtures, and using a recovery system that is not compatible with those mixtures can lead to contamination, improper recovery, or equipment damage.

Understanding the chemical properties and compatibilities of different refrigerants is crucial for ensuring that the recovery equipment performs its function properly and maintains safety standards. This consideration not only protects the technician but also helps to ensure compliance with environmental regulations concerning refrigerant recovery.
