ACR-3 REFRIGERANT RECOVERY AND RECYCLING MACHINE


APPLIED MODELS: All

SERVICE INFORMATION:
When performing any A/C service, use the Kent-Moore ACR-3, or equivalent, refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment. The equipment is easy to use and benefits you by:

1. Saving Money: Using recycled R-12 saves the cost of buying new R-12, which is becoming more expensive as its production is limited.

2. Health Benefits: Recovering R-12, instead of venting it to the atmosphere, reduces skin cancer risk for humans. When the fluorocarbons in R-12 combine with other chemicals in the atmosphere, the ozone layer is progressively destroyed. The ozone layer helps protect us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun (see NTB90-028; HA90-006 for further details).

3. Complying with EPA regulations: The Clean Air Act Amendments have now passed; you will be required by Federal Law to recover A/C refrigerant. Some areas are already enforcing refrigerant recovery laws and fining dealers who do not recover R-12 when they service an A/C system.


To help you recover and recycle R-12, this Bulletin outlines the use and simple maintenance of the Kent-Moore ACR-3. For detailed information, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. This Bulletin is intended only as a brief summary.
