Q: What are "reclaimed refrigerants?"
A: They are used refrigerants cleaned by means of filtration, distillation, separation or other mechanical processes. As a result, our finished product meets the same standards as
virgin refrigerant.
Q: Are reclaimed refrigerants inferior to virgin refrigerants?
A: No. Reclaimed and virgin refrigerants must meet the same standards (ARI-700) and have the same performance characteristics. Reclaimed refrigerants that have passed chemical analysis by an ARI approved test program are considered equal to "virgin" grade product. Always ask for complete laboratory certifications.
Q: Is it better to pay more for virgin refrigerant?
A: No. Virgin and reclaimed products look alike, smell the same, weigh the same - are the same. Therefore, prices for both should be the same.
Q: What is ARI certification and what does that mean?
A: Achieving ARI (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute) certification means that RemTec meets or exceeds the standards that the ARI has set forth. This program requires that ARI representatives come to RemTec's facilities four times a year to analyze our reclaimed refrigerant. In order to maintain certification we must pass all applicable standards. We are proud to be an ARI-700 certified reclaimer.
Q: What types of refrigerants are reclaimed to ARI-700 standards?
A: RemTec reclaims R11, R12, R22, R23, R114, R123, R134a, R500, R502, and R13B1. It is our main business to reclaim and separate refrigerants and halons and RemTec has invested in the technology and research to create advanced systems that make it possible to offer a full range of products and services that our competition does not match.
