• Takes any size cylinder or system to 29 in. / 737 mm Hg
• Allows you to retrieve the refrigerant normally not realized

The new VS-29 Deep Vacuum System is designed with the larger refrigerant user in mind.  Used in series with an appropriate reclaim/recovery system it recovers selected refrigerants from deep vacuum levels (29 in. / 737 mm hg) normally not realized in day-to-day operations.  Its patented design makes it suited to any size cylinder or system with no overheating.  This provides efficiency and savings by recovering refrigerant that exists between normal vacuum limits and that of deep levels.  It is the ideal tool for distributors, large contractors, OEMs, marine users and more.  Tests have proven it to be a Perfect companion to the Van Steenburgh RV-10 Recovery System.

Increase the efficiency of your day-to-day
operations and realize the extra profit

Recent technological advances by Van Steenburgh Engineering Laboratories make the management and retention of valuable refrigerant easier and more efficient.  The following information shows you how to take advantage of these new engineering innovations and add more profit to your operations.

Possible Applications

• Charging stations

• Returned cylinders in large volume

• Large operations inventory management

• In-house engineering groups

• Refrigerant Reclaim Centers

Field Study Application

Recent field tests have validated the use of the new Van Steenburgh VS-29 Deep Vacuum System and Van Steenburgh Recovery/Reclaim System in series.  With the ability of the VS-29 Deep Vacuum System to "pull" any system or cylinder into a 29 in./ 737 mm Hg vacuum, this combination means a near complete elimination of residual refrigerant.

Typical Hook-Up

A VS-29/RV-10 combination system was hooked to a five-station automatic charging system at a major OEM facility.  The system is currently running 16 hours per day.  The five automatic charging stations are hooked to a manifold that is maintained at 25 in. / 635 mm Hg vacuum by the VS-29.   When units are charged on the assembly line, the remaining refrigerant is pulled to the manifold and into the VS-29.  Using the above diagram (Typical Hookup) the refrigerant is sent to an RV-10 recovery system where it is transferred to a waiting cylinder. 

Results : 2.67 lbs / 1.21 kg of refrigerant per hour are salvaged from the charging lines.
