Overview
This classification covers refrigerant recovery units. These are specialized pieces of machinery designed to safely and efficiently remove refrigerant from air conditioning and refrigeration systems during servicing or decommissioning. Their primary function is to capture and contain refrigerants, preventing their release into the atmosphere.
This specific subheading is distinguished from its sibling categories by its dedicated purpose. While other compressors might be general-purpose or designed for different fluid types, refrigerant recovery units are purpose-built for the specific task of handling various refrigerants with features like specialized valving and containment systems to meet environmental regulations.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on confirming that the imported or exported item is indeed a unit designed for the recovery of refrigerants, encompassing the machinery and mechanical components necessary for this operation, and is not simply a general-purpose compressor or part thereof.
