Question

What is the term for removing refrigerant in any condition from a system and storing it in an external container without necessarily testing for processing it in any way

Answer 1

Answer:

The term you are looking for is recovery. The process of recovering refrigerant is to remove some or all the refrigerants of a system and deposit it in an external storing for further processing or storage. This recovered refrigerant won´t be used again in the system in any near time period.

If the refrigerant is removed to be instantly processed and cleaned to be reutilized in the same system, this action is known as recycling.
