High capacity storage tanks accept complete high or low pressure refrigerant charges from large chillers. 
NEW sight glass windows replace sight glass tube (3/2003)
CYL GIF.gif (62168 bytes) DOT Tanks
30, 50, 250, & 1000-lb capacities.   Optional low pressure switches available.  250 & 1000-lb tanks are retrofitted with full 3/4" service valves & copper dip tubes to meet capacity of commercial recovery units.

ASME Refrigerant Storage Tanks

l Mounted on casters
l High pressure (-HP) tanks: Dual 250-psi relief valves on diverting valve
Low pressure (-LP) tanks:  250-psi rupture disc & 250-psi relief (meets ASME section VIII div 1 and ANSI specifications)
l Pressure gauge
l Three sight glass windows
l 80% tank full float switch
l Bottom drain connection
l Liquid & Vapor ports: Threaded connections with isolation ball valves are supplied standard. Ball valves may be substituted with quick connect fittings on LP tanks only. 3/4” connections accomodate Lovac, Allvac, or Evac Commercial recovery units.
l Options: 
- Cable for Liquid level cut out switch
- Heating Bands for distillation

DOT Refrigerant Recovery Tanks

l Typical recovery tanks have small diameter ports that restrict refrigerant flow and decrease recovery rates. RefTec 250 & 1000-lb D.O.T. tanks have been fitted with full 3/4” service valves and copper dip tubes to eliminate restrictions and allow faster refrigerant transfer.

l Tanks service R11, R12, R22, R113, R114, R123, R134a, & and additional high pressure refrigerants and blends.   For R410a, use only 30 & 50-lb tanks.
l Quick connects are available for tanks servicing low pressure refrigerants.
l Heating bands are available for distillation capabilities
