A/C flushing,
solvent recycling
Hecat has released its H1000 Closed Loop A/C Component Flusher, designed exclusively for Honeywell's GenesolvSF solvent. The H1000 is a non-ozone depleting, non-flammable and EPA-approved replacement for HCFC-141b. The flusher blasts components clean with a high-velocity liquid flush, then purges all the removed waste oils. The final vacuum recovers any trace solvents, leaving the component clean and dry. The company says no solvent disposal is required because the unit filters and distills it for a full recycle and recovery. The flusher features full automation, two years of performance testing and a UL 1963 certification.
