INTRODUCTION
The Scavenger™ Refrigerant Recovery Station removes contaminated or unknown
refrigerant from automotive A/C systems to prevent the cross-contamination of a
service station’s R-12 and R-134a supply.
It is designed specifically for use with a refrigerant identifier capable of determin-
ing if the refrigerant is R-12, R-134A, or some other (unknown) refrigerant. In the
case of an unknown refrigerant, the service technician can use this station to
recover the refrigerant into a special 50-pound tank for transport to a disposal
facility.
