VEVOR Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine, 1 HP 120V 60Hz Dual Cylinder AC Recovery Machine for Liquid Vapor Refrigerant, 1750 RPM Recycling Unit HVAC for Automotive & Household Air Conditioning

1 HP Dual-Cylinder Compressor at 1750 RPM for Fast Vapor and Liquid Recovery

The VEVOR portable refrigerant recovery machine can draw in refrigerant in both liquid and vapor phases without bogging down, powered by a 1 HP dual-cylinder compressor that runs at 1750 RPM. Two cylinders share the effort and run cooler and more evenly than a single cylinder, especially during long recovery sessions. A 120V 60Hz input lets you power this machine at full capacity from any standard outlet or job-site receptacle.

Dual-cylinder compression provides more consistent pressure output and a more even flow into the recovery tank. This uniformity eliminates the pressure spikes and stalls that bog down single-cylinder machines when they hit liquid pockets. Whether it’s clearing a split system or drawing refrigerant from a condenser, the compressor maintains its pace without manual adjustment during the job.

7.7 lbs/min R410A Liquid Recovery Rate for Reduced Jobsite Downtime

Recover R410A liquid refrigerant quickly, at speeds up to 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) per minute. That speed permits a conventional system to be evacuated in minutes, rather than the extended sessions required by slower devices. Faster recovery saves time on a full day’s maintenance or multiple vehicle A/C jobs, reducing time on each service call.

Peak throughput is 7.7 lbs/min. This speed varies with refrigerant, charge size, and temperature (32 104 degrees F). The dual cylinder design keeps vapor speeds competitive, but vapor recovery is slower because the compressor has to work harder to move the low-density gas. For shops and mobile techs that bill by the hour, this speed advantage equals more systems serviced per day.

Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine with A1 and A2L Class Compatibility

This VEVOR portable refrigerant recovery machine supports a wide range of A1-class refrigerants, including R12, R22, R134a, R401A, R404A, R407A, R407B, R407C, R410A, and R507, which cover much of what you encounter in older and current HVAC setups. It is also compatible with A2L-class gases such as R32 and R1234yf, which are prevalent in today’s household appliances and late-model automotive A/C systems. This means that if you have a single machine for both classifications, you don’t need to carry separate recovery units for different refrigerant families.

The 1/4-inch SAE input and output ports allow you to connect directly to standard-gauge manifolds and hose sets without adapters or additional fittings. That standard connection point allows you to keep your existing toolset and reduces the cost of proprietary gear. As the industry moves away from high GWP refrigerants to low GWP refrigerants, a recovery machine that does both keeps your equipment current without a second purchase down the line.

37.7 Bar Auto Shut-Off and Overcurrent Protection for Safer Operation

If the internal pressure rises to 37.7 bar or higher during recovery, the portable refrigerant recovery machine immediately shuts down the compressor before conditions lead to hose failures or tank overpressure. That threshold is monitored by accurate gauges visible on the front panel. It provides you with both a visual warning and an automatic safety cutoff that work simultaneously. You don’t have to watch the needle above the machine; the technology takes care of the shut-off itself.

On the electrical side, overcurrent protection will shut off the motor if the amperage exceeds acceptable levels. This avoids heat damage to the windings and internal wiring from prolonged overload. In normal operation, thermal output is controlled by a dedicated condenser and cooling fan, which maintains the motor and compressor within the 32–104°F rated window even in warm shop settings. The portable refrigerant recovery machine uses these tiered precautions to secure itself against the two most common causes of recovery unit failure, overpressure and overtemperature, without user intervention.

Single-Knob Purge System for Quick Internal Line Cleaning

Upon completion of a recovery job and switching to another refrigerant type, the position on the control knob marked “PURGE” automatically flushes residual gas from the hoses, valves, and compressor passages. The complete purge cycle is done without opening any panels, unhooking any fittings, or manually blowing nitrogen through the system. That one step is the difference between a clean recovery for the next operation and contaminated refrigerant that is rejected at reclamation or causes issues in a newly charged system.

Cross-contamination is one of the more expensive mistakes in refrigerant operations, since mixed gas often cannot be recovered, and the receiving system can experience compressor damage or performance loss. The single-knob purge reduces that risk by removing any remaining refrigerant before it can combine with the next type you recover. That built-in cleaning procedure means every tank is pure for technicians working on R410A on one call and R134a on the next, without adding much time between jobs.

31.3 lb Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine with Dual Dryer Filtration

This portable refrigerant recovery equipment weighs 31.3 lbs and measures only 15.7 x 9.8 x 14.2 inches, fitting into service vans, truck toolboxes, and shop shelves without taking up valuable cargo space. One tech can pull it out, take it to the equipment, set it up without aid - no dolly, no second pair of hands, no moving the whole vehicle to get it in. That mobility makes rooftop calls, crawl-space access, and parking-lot vehicle work simple one-person chores.

The dryer filter and mesh screen form a dual-filtration system within the compact housing to remove moisture, particles, and debris from the recovered refrigerant before it enters the tank. By pulling clean, dry gas, you are protecting the recovery machine internals and the downstream equipment that will ultimately receive the reclaimed refrigerant. Despite all the full-size features it packs into a compact 31.3-lb unit (dual-cylinder compression, auto safety shutoffs, self-cleaning purge, dual filtration), performance is in no way compromised by its portability.
