OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 The equipment manufacturer shall provide operating instructions that include information required by SAE J639, necessary maintenance procedures, and source information for replacement parts and repair. 5.2 The equipment must prominently display the m

37、anufacturers name, address, a service telephone number, and any items that require maintenance or replacement that affect the proper operation of the equipment. Operation manuals must cover information for complete maintenance of the equipment to assure proper operation. 5.3 The equipment manufactur

38、er shall provide a warning in the instruction manual regarding the possibility of refrigerant contamination from hydrocarbons, and leak sealants. 6. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 6.1 Equipment Performance Requirements 6.1.1 The equipment must be capable of continuous operation in ambient temperatures of 10

39、 C (50 F) to 50 C (120 F). Continuous is defined as completing recovery operation with no more than a brief reset between servicing 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). 6.1.2 The equipment

40、shall demonstrate ability to recovery a minimum of 95.0% of the refrigerant from the test vehicle in 30 min or less, without prior engine operation (for previous 8 h minimum), external heating or use of any device (such as shields, reflectors, special lights, etc.), which could heat components of th

41、e system. The recovery procedure shall be based on a test at 21 to 24 C (70 to 75 F) ambient temperature. The test system for qualifying shall be a 1.4 kg (3 lb.) capacity orifice tube/accumulator system in a 2005 to 2009 Chevrolet Suburban with front and rear A/C or the test option described in Sec

42、tion 7. NOTE: Ensure that refrigerant does not come into contact with hot surfaces during this part of process. 6.1.3 The equipment shall demonstrate ability to recover a minimum of 85% of the refrigerant from the test vehicle or system as per 6.1.2. in 30 min or less, at an ambient temperature of 1

43、0 to 13 C (50 to 55 F), subject to the same restrictions regarding engine operation and external heating. 6.2 Fittings, Flexible Hoses and Couplings 6.2.1 All flexible hoses must meet the applicable sections of SAE J2197 and/or SAE J2888 for service hoses. 6.2.2 Service hoses must have shutoff devic

44、es located at the connection points to the system being serviced to minimize emissions while connecting/disconnecting from the system being serviced. 7. RECOVERY EQUIPMENT VALIDATION TEST REQUIREMENTS 7.1 A test vehicle (2005 to 2009 Chevrolet Suburban) with rear A/C and a charge of 1.36 kg/ (3 lb)

45、of R-134a or a laboratory fixture per Section 7.6 shall be used to validate the recovery efficiency of this equipment. For test validation, the equipment is to be operated to the manufacturers instructions. 7.2 Testing shall be done at a temperature of 21 to 24 C (70 to 75 F). Test vehicle shall be

46、“overnight cold” (not run for at least 8 h). 7.3 You shall start with an empty system, using this method: (a) Recover refrigerant from system, per equipment manufacturers instructions. (b) Evacuate the system to a minimum of -710 mm Hg (-27.9 in Hg). (c) Monitor vacuum for decay, checking every 20 m

47、in. If decay exceeds 75 mm Hg (3.0 in Hg), evacuate the system again. When system holds 710 mm Hg plus 75 mm Hg, vacuum for three more hours, it is considered empty. SAE INTERNATIONAL J2851 Revised FEB2015 Page 6 of 12 7.4 Using a machine certified to SAE J2788 and with machine on a platform scale w

48、ith accuracy to within plus/minus 3g at the weight of the machine, charge the system to 1.4kg/ 3 lb of 134a. The actual charge amount per the reading on the platform scale (hoses disconnected from the system after charge and draped over the machine) shall be used as the basis for the recovery effici

49、ency of the recovery only machine being tested to this standard. 7.5 Recovery Test Procedure (using a vehicle) 1. Following a successful system charge, the system shall be run for 15 min at 2000 rpm to circulate oil and refrigerant, following which engine and system shall rest for 8 h. Then the laboratory may begin th
