The answer here is an oversized condenser paired with a larger fan, laid out in a cross-flow arrangement so air moves through the coil rather than around it. That is the reason to choose this machine over a smaller one — not headline speed on a bench, but the ability to keep pulling at a useful rate on a hot roof, in an unventilated plant room, or at the fourth job of the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is a twin-cylinder, oil-less design. Oil-less matters for a portable unit because there is no crankcase oil to check, top up or lose when the machine travels on its side in the back of a van, and because an oil-less compressor will handle both liquid and vapour recovery without the precautions an oil-lubricated pump needs. Twin cylinders are what let a machine this size move refrigerant at a rate worth the trip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecovery methods, and picking the right one\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe RG6 supports push-pull, liquid and vapour recovery. Those are not interchangeable, and choosing correctly is most of the skill in getting a system emptied quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePush-pull is the method for large charges — the machine drives vapour into the top of the system to force liquid out of the bottom and into your recovery cylinder, and it moves refrigerant far faster than pulling vapour ever will. It needs a system with a substantial liquid charge and a way to connect both paths, so it is a commercial and industrial technique rather than a small-split one. Liquid recovery is the fast path when you can get liquid to the machine directly. Vapour recovery is what finishes the job: slower, but it is what takes the system down to the vacuum level that lets you sign it off. A machine that only does one of the three makes you work around it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSelf-purge, and the contamination problem it solves\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe self-purge function clears the machine's own internal passages of the refrigerant it has just handled. This is the feature that stops a service call turning into a warranty argument. Every recovery machine holds a residue of the last charge it processed; move straight from one refrigerant to another and that residue goes into the next system. Cross-contaminated refrigerant is not a problem you find on the day — it is a problem the customer finds later, and the machine is the obvious suspect. Purging between jobs is also simply faster than the manual alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe high-pressure shut-off\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA high-pressure safety switch shuts the machine down automatically if pressure climbs above 550 psi. Pressure rises like that when a recovery cylinder is fuller than the technician thought, when a cylinder valve is closed, or when ambient heat pushes head pressure up on a long recovery. On a machine without the switch, the operator is the safety system. Here the machine stops on its own, which is the right design for a unit that is regularly left running while its operator works on something else.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCheck these figures with us before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished specifications for this machine differ, and part of the specification list describes the RG3 — the smaller machine in the same family — rather than the RG6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two of the lines are RG3 lines: that model's weight of 18 pounds, its 40 percent smaller footprint and its refrigerant compatibility list. Read those as RG3 figures, because that is what they are.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe electrical and compressor entries differ from one another as well. One gives a 1\/3 HP, 115V AC, 60 Hz single-cylinder compressor; the other gives the compressor as 3\/4 hp direct drive and the supply as 110V AC. A single-cylinder rating and a twin-cylinder rating describe different machines, and those two horsepower figures are not the same motor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf the compressor rating, the supply voltage, the shipping weight or the exact refrigerant compatibility list is what your decision turns on, confirm it with us in writing before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e — we will get each figure straight from Robinair. What the machine is and how it works — twin-cylinder, oil-less, oversized condenser, self-purge, push-pull, liquid and vapour capability, and the high-pressure shut-off — reads the same in every source, and is what this page is written on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMobile service technicians.\u003c\/strong\u003e A machine you carry to the equipment, not one the equipment has to come to.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCommercial and industrial refrigeration work.\u003c\/strong\u003e Push-pull capability is what makes large charges practical.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHot-climate and rooftop work.\u003c\/strong\u003e The condenser and fan sizing is the whole point of this model.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShops recovering across different refrigerants.\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-purge is the routine that keeps one job out of the next one.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat Is in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur record covers the recovery machine itself. It does not list hoses, gauges, a recovery cylinder or a scale, and none of those should be assumed to be included — a recovery machine is normally sold as the machine. Ask us before ordering if you need the unit to arrive ready to work rather than ready to be connected to kit you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur product data claims no third-party certification or safety listing for this machine. That is a gap in what we hold rather than a statement about the equipment. Refrigerant recovery is one of the areas where an insurer, a fleet contract or a state handling programme may require equipment carrying a specific listing, so if any of that applies to you, ask us to confirm it in writing rather than inferring anything from this page. The same applies to the refrigerant compatibility question raised above: confirm it for the refrigerants you actually work with.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis item ships free within the lower 48 states, so there is nothing to add at checkout. You will need to be able to take the shipment: either receive and unload it yourself, or arrange to collect from the carrier terminal. Delivery to a residential address is available and carries a residential fee, which checkout shows before payment. Check the packaging over while the driver is still with you, and note any damage on the delivery paperwork before signing. Signing clean and reporting damage later is the version of this that goes badly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty and service\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur record points to the Robinair warranty claims process rather than stating a term, so we are not going to print a term we cannot source — ask us and we will confirm the current coverage for this model before you buy. One rule holds for the whole of it: if the machine faults, contact us before you take anything apart. Opening the housing or attempting an internal repair is the most common way a valid claim becomes an invalid one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features and Benefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-details-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-details-item\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight, the RG3 features a 40 percent smaller footprint, is easy to carry, and weighs in at just 18 pounds for superior portability.Cooling method:Compressor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandles almost all refrigerants - the RG3 works with all common CFC, HFC, and HCFC refrigerants including R-410A\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1\/3 HP, 115V AC, 60 Hz single cylinder, oil-less compressor is capable of recovering both liquid and vapor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh efficiency cross flow design features a fan and condenser layout that is optimized for shorter cycle times\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwin-Cylinder Design - Provides best-in-class* recovery performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOil-less Compressor - Capable of handling both liquid and vapor recovery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOversized Condensers and Fan - Larger condenser area and larger fan allow for maximum cooling and shorter cycle times\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh Pressure Safety Shut-off Switch - Automatically shuts off machine if pressure rises above 550 psi\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelf-Purge Feature - Eliminates potential for cross-contamination and saves time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCapabilities: Push-Pull, Liquid, Vapor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompressor: 3\/4 hp, direct drive\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower: 110V AC, 60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003ePick Up and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-pickupdelivry-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eCall, text, or chat with us if you have questions. 866-774-7743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RobinAir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54965173289299,"sku":"ROBRG6","price":778.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/progradewarehouse.com\/products\/robinair-rg6-portable-refrigerant-recovery-machine","provider":"PRO GRADE WAREHOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
