Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8903963A1] A refrigerant reclaim system includes a compressor (30), a heat exchanger (10), an oil separator (20), a condenser (40), a chill tank (50), a filter-dryer (63) and a cooling coil (65) in the chill tank. Refrigerant to be reclaimed is drawn through the cold side of the heat exchanger (10) converted to a gas which is discharged into the oil separator (20) where the gas is directed upwardly in an expanding stream. The flow of the stream is abruptly interrupted to separate oil from refrigerant.
