Slug Proof Compressor Head
Other recovery units are at risk of failure during direct liquid recovery
when compressed liquid refrigerant can destroy their stemmed discharge
valves or flexible piston seals. The technician often needs to throttle the
inlet valve to restrict flow and protect the compressor.
PlatinumPlus eliminates those problems by replacing the discharge
poppet valve with a ball valve. The ball creates a better seal and is
essentially indestructible against heavy liquid flow. Instead of a
flexible piston seal "cup", we use a solid piston ring (see comparison
below) which does not flex and is not at risk of blowing out during liquid
recovery.
PlatinumPlus takes the need to
meter liquid flow out of the technician's hands and automatically prevents compressor
damage. It is simply the most durable oil-less refrigerant recovery
compressor in the field. Still "Can't Slug This"!
