32、of the existing recycled refrigerant in the container in the equipment. 6.2 The equipment manufacturer must provide operating instructions, including proper attainment of vehicle system vacuum (i.e., when to stop the extraction process), filter/desiccant replacement, and purging of noncondensable ga

33、ses (air). Also to be included are any other necessary maintenance procedures, source information for replacement parts and, repair and safety precautions. 6.2.1 The manual shall identify the proper maintaining of hose and seals to prevent the addition of excess air, due to leaks, during the recover

34、y process, which would increase the NCG level in the recovered refrigerant. 6.3 The equipment must prominently display the manufacturers name, address, the type of refrigerant it is designed to recycle, a service telephone number, and the part number for the replacement filter/drier. 7. FUNCTIONAL D

35、ESCRIPTION The ability of the equipment to meet the refrigerant recovery and recharge specifications of this section shall be determined by the test procedures of Section 10. 7.1 The equipment must be capable of continuous operation in ambient temperatures of 10 C (50 F) to 50 C (120 F). Continuous

36、is defined as completing recovery/recycle and recharge (if applicable) operations with no more than a brief reset period between vehicles, and shall not include time delays for allowing a system to outgas (which shall be part of the recovery period provided by this standard). Continuous may include

37、time out for an air purge if necessary, although it is understood that extended equipment-off time is preferred to allow NCG and refrigerant separation in the supply tank for optimum results. 7.1.1 The equipment shall be capable of removing a minimum of 95% of the refrigerant from the test system in

38、 30 min or less, without external heating, or use of any device (such as shields, reflectors, special lights, etc.) which could heat components of the system. The recovery procedures shall be based on 21 to 24 C (70 to 75 F) ambient temperature. The test system for qualifying shall be a 1.4 kg (3 lb

39、) capacity orifice tube/accumulator system in a 2005-2009 Chevrolet Suburban with front and rear A/C, or the test option described in 10.5 and shall be determined by accurately weighing the recovery machine with the resolution and accuracy of within 2.3-g (0.005-lb) in the range of the machines weig

40、ht. The laboratory shall maintain records of the vehicle, including its VIN (vehicle identification number). SAE J2788 Revised JAN2013 Page 5 of 16 7.1.2 The preceding shall not preclude a brief period of engine/AC operation at fast idle (up to 15 min, up to 2000 rpm) to circulate refrigerant and oi

41、l, and provide some engine and A/C warm-up. The laboratory shall monitor coolant temperature per the vehicle engine coolant temperature sensor, and coolant temperature shall not be allowed to exceed 105 C (221 F). The time required shall not be included in the total time of 30 min set forth in 7.1.1

42、. 7.1.3 The refrigerant that is recovered, following oil separation, shall be measured and the quantity displayed, accurate to within 30 g (1.0 oz). The equipment must include a provision for checking the accuracy, per the requirements of 9.1. 7.2 Storage Vessel and Tank Over-fill Protection See Sec

43、tion 11 listing international/regional construction and safety requirements. 7.3 If the machine is designed for recharging, and the marketer permits use of a non-refillable refrigerant tank, the machine shall include a way to ensure virgin refrigerant remaining in the tank (called the “heel“) to no

44、more than 2% of tank rated capacity when the tank is indicated to be empty. This may be done by the machine marketer as follows: Specify a non-venting procedure, to minimize the amount of unused virgin refrigerant remaining in the tank. The machine shall include any devices required for the procedur

45、e, other than ordinary service shop tools and supplies, and include in the operators manual, any instructions. Provide an automatic or (with instructions in the operators manual) semi-automatic non-venting procedure with the machine. The laboratory shall test for the 2% capability. For testing purpo

46、ses it may use a refillable tank, minimum 15 Ib capacity (6.8 kg) containing a minimum of 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) refrigerant. The test is as follows: 1. Weigh the tank at the start of the test, on a scale accurate to 3 g, to ensure it contains sufficient refrigerant. 2. Operate the machine to remove refrig

47、erant from the tank, charging into a holding container until the tank is indicated to be empty. Continue with the marketers recommended procedure for the 2% capability. 3. Weigh the tank, on a scale accurate to 3 g. 4. Using the recovery compressor and/or a vacuum pump, draw the tank into a vacuum o

48、f 9 to 10 in Mercury (225 to 250 mm Mercury). The tank must hold that vacuum with a decay of less than 10% in 10 min. If vacuum decays 10% or more, the procedure shall be repeated as necessary to ensure the tank is empty. 5. Weigh the tank on a scale accurate to 3 g. The difference in weight from St

49、eps 3 to 5 shall be within 2% of the weight of the amount of refrigerant that is the tanks rated capacity. 6. This test may be performed at the conclusion of testing in 10.4 or 10.5. If the machine passes or has passed all other testing in this standard, the marketer may make modifications in procedure and/or machine operation and retest once at a later date, within 90 days. If the machine fails the retest, the mac
