⚡ Field Charging & Handling Protocols
- Single-component pure HFC: can be charged as vapor or liquid.
- Ensure strict deep vacuum <500 microns due to extreme POE oil hygroscopic affinity.
🔍 Leak Detection Protocols
- Halogen diode detectors, UV dye injection, and bubble test
♻️ Recovery & Legal Compliance
- Standard HFC recovery equipment into clean R-134a cylinders.
