When installing or servicing an air conditioning or refrigeration system, two of the most important tasks performed by technicians are refrigerant recovery and system evacuation. To perform these tasks properly, and in
a safe manner, technicians need to understand the theory behind them, have a working knowledge of the equipment and tools used, and employ accepted industry best practices. This program walks through each step of these
tasks, while covering safety, theory, and application.
