this term is used when all liquid refrigerant boils off and becomes 100% vapor and picks up sensible heat
What is superheated
500
a recovery cylinder
What is gray with a yellow top
500
this device, usually internal in the compressor, will not let the compressor run if it gets too hot
What is the thermal overload
500
use this tool to reclaim refrigerant out of a system
What is a recovery machine
